As the band storms the stages of the biggest international summer festivals, bringing their signature furyo style to thousands, Rise Of The Northstar returns with a brand new single: ‘BACK 2 BASICS.’ This hard-hitting track sees the band teaming up with fellow heavyweights of the French scene, LANDMVRKS, delivering a crushing collaboration that pushes both bands to new extremes.

One hailing from Paris, the other from Marseille - Rise Of The Northstar and LANDMVRKS may come from different corners of France, but they’re united by a common mission: to fly the flag high for the French metal scene. Mixed and mastered by Florent Salfati (frontman of Landmvrks), ‘BACK 2 BASICS’ delivers a message loud and clear: Get back. Get back to basics.

“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. Vithia - Vocals, Rise of the Northstar
 
“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 - Eva-B - Lead guitar, Rise of the Northstar

"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 !" - Flo - Vocals, Landmvrks
