Rise Of The Northstar Signs With Nuclear Blast To Release "Welcame"

The Manga metal mosh monsters Rise Of The Northstar have signed a worldwide licence deal with Nuclear Blast Records after owner/CEO, Markus Staiger, had watched and met the band at this year's Summer Breeze Open Air.

Commented Markus Staiger: "I was instantly blown away by the sheer power of their live performance! This is the brutality I was looking for! I immediately knew we had to have ROTNS on our roster! It is nothing but impressive what they have achieved in so little time – all on their own. Also this is another proof for the diversity of metal, the scene and our label! Samurai Spirit!"

Commented the band: "We are proud of this new venture between our label Repression Records and the biggest independent metal record company Nuclear Blast.

"ROTNS has spent years fighting like hell in the underground, and the opportunity of partnering with people who understand our artistic vision, respect our indépendant culture, not to mention defend the interests of acts that have influenced our sound, is the right move to take our band to the next level.

"We are proud of our debut record, and Nuclear Blast's firepower will give this album the global reach that we always aimed for."

ROTNS has finished work on the debut album, "Welcame," which was mixed and mastered by renowned producer Zeuss and is set to be released November 21st, 2014 via Nuclear Blast.
