Europe’s biggest crossover band, Rise Of The Northstar, have released the brand new single “Nekketsu” from their upcoming second album, The Legacy Of Shi.

Rise of the Northstar is a Japanese-themed thrash metal act that blends many aspects of Japanese culture into their full-on neck snapping assault. The band has just released their new disc, Welcame, and I was able to catch up with drummer Hokuto No Kev to chat about the record and the group. Here is how the conversation went.

Manga metal moshers Rise of the Northstar have released their brand new digital single, “Dressed All In Black.” The song is now available via all known download and streaming platforms. Stream “Dressed All In Black” just below! The song comes off the band’s highly anticipated debut album, Welcame, which will be released November 21 via Nuclear Blast Records. Welcame was mixed and mastered by renowned producer Zeuss (Madball, Hatebreed, Emmure).
