Rise Of The Northstar release new music video for ‘Back 2 Basics’

RISE OF THE NORTHSTAR have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Back 2 Basics, is the brand new single from the French hardcore band and follows on from the release of 2023’s Showdown.

Speaking about the new song, vocalist Vithia shares, “LDMVS & ROTNS have been sharing the stage for 10 years. Throughout our respective careers, we’ve been fighting to keep a ‘new generation’ of extreme music alive in France. There’s nothing harder than striving on your own, keeping your inner flame burning against all odds in order to fulfill yourself. We wanted to crystallize that in a radical and direct track. A return to the roots, to remind those who talk down on us that we haven’t let go of our dreams, and that we intend to raise high the banner of French metal.”

Guitarist Eva-B adds, “Back 2 Basics marks the beginning of our collaboration with Flo from LANDMVRKS. I wrote this track with the desire to break away from our usual habits, by offering a more melodic chorus designed to create a strong contrast with the rest of the song. We explored several vocal ideas, and that’s when the thought of inviting Flo came up, we knew he could truly elevate the song. To our great pleasure, he immediately accepted the invitation. After recording vocal parts in his studio in Marseille, he sent us a mix that instantly convinced everyone. The sound, the energy, the precision… everything was there. This track was a turning.”

Speaking about the collaboration, Flo from LANDMVRKS shares, “having grown up heavily influenced by manga, anime, and hardcore music, I’ve always had a deep appreciation for ROTNS’s sound and style. They’re innovative, unique, and it was a real pleasure to join forces with them on a track. Get ready for a new banger!”
