“Shi is back. Indestructible and impalpable. The yokai persona weaves its web on this song and its presence grows exponentially until becoming omnipotent: “call me Armageddon, destroying all questions.”
“It’s inspired many of our peers before, but we had to make a song that would allow us to release all the rage and frustration accumulated over the last years. Third Strike was born.” – Rise Of The Northstar

Expect insane grooves mixed with powerful riffs dressed by the now well-known flow of Vithia and sublimated by Eva-B’s epic solos. You will want to jump to the groove, headbang to the heaviness, mosh to the hardcore breakdowns, break your neck to the thrash riffing, sing along to the choruses and feel goosebumps to the beautifully written solos. All wrapped up in their unique Japanese shonen manga universe. If there were to be a band that stands out for its originality, universe, and music, these stage monsters undoubtedly are Rise Of The Northstar. “Showdown” is mixed by Johann Meyer (Gojira) and mastered by Ted Jensen (Sterling Sound Studio).
