Rise of the North Star - Demonstrating my Saiya Style (EN)




---------------------------------------------------
VERSION FRANÇAISE DE L'ARTICLE ICI
---------------------------------------------------

Hello guys and girls, glad to come back to you with some new musical analysis.
Today we'll check Rise of the NorthStar EP called Demonstrating my Saiya Style.
Their first full lenght is coming soon, and today we will talk about their last EP, in order to present you, or show more about them for those who already know them.
That EP produced in 2012 is a six-track EP, the number one fact about that one is that it is really professional-like work. Professional music and recording. And also professional graphic aspects, on the EP cover and booklet, and in the music videos from the tracks of the EP as well.

Tracks












01 - Bejita's Revenge

This track is the intro of the EP. ROTN strikes hard early, showing us their universe and references, by giving us a featuring from the voice actor Éric Legrand, the french voice of Bejita. He gives us a great raging speech from Bejita that will give the chills to every french fan. Then comes a fat badass musical intro that sets the tone for all the EP !

02 - Sound of Wolves

Right after the intro comes Sound of Wolves (that I've already presented in this article)

Big track, makes us want to jump around.
Nice vocals made in ROTN, big riffs that are really doing the job out there.
On top of that, great chorus everywhere that complete this song !
This track is the perfect exemple of what ROTN can do, by melting his influences and styles to give us something unique : some good ROTN sounds !




03 - Show me your Respect

Show me your Respect was one of the early tracks of the band. They kinda updated it to put in on that EP. That track kinda shows ROTN's values and presents the band.

The lyrics have that "straight in your face" vibe that still send a positive message of tolerance :

"All days disturbed by punk who chose the weaks way... Not for me. I fight all the time against my nature... Continually. I try to tolerate you and do not judge who you are, so, respect me and the way I live, I chose the hard way."

The english isn't perfect, alright, but that's not much of a problem, the more important thing is the message in it, that is powerful and that shows the mentality of the band, that most of the time is considered as the odd one in the hardcore scene, because of its japanese influences put in a Madball kind of way. However, the band stands tall and stays true to itself, no matter what.

04 - Against All

For the fourth track of the EP, ROTN sends the same type of message. Against all talks about the intolerance inside the hardcore scene, and also inside our very own world as a whole.

The track deals with the fact that the band stays true, and proud of what it is. And that the critics and insults only makes them stronger, and unwilling to fit a mold to content people who want to see them fall.

On the musical aspect, ROTN gives us some pure ROTN, with Slayer-like solos, powerful chorus and epic riffs that will really put you on your knees.

05 - Demonstrating my Saiya Style

Fifth title that bears the name of the EP.
This track talks about how people should try to be able to know themselves, of the importance to like who you are, to follow your own rules, and chase your own dreams in order to become the super sayen that is inside of everyone of us !

As usual, typical theme for the band, with a positive message, sent on a powerful music, with even more chorus that will make you want to scream like a crazy fool !

A big plus for the music video for that track, that was shot in Japan during ROTN's very first Japan Tour. A Japan Tour was the dream that started the band. It really shows us that when you dedicate yourself to your dream, it can come true and kick ass !



06 - Protect ya Chest

Bonus track, only available on the physical version of the EP.
That track was published in 2011 as a music video. It was the first sight of ROTN's ascencion as one of the up and coming french bands. With a professional production and a powerful sound, with a rap feature early in the track that is a nice tribute.
