Chapter 04: Red Falcon Super Battle! Neo Paris War!!

Rise of the Northstar's Chapter 04: Red Falcon Super Battle! Neo Paris War!!, the Paris band's fourth studio album, came out through Kuromaku Corp on 14 November 2025, and Marquee Avalon released the Japanese edition on 26 November 2025 (MICP-11994) with two live bonus tracks recorded at Hellfest 2025 and Graspop 2025, fifteen tracks in about 45 minutes. The Japanese label describes a band that fuses Japanese delinquent culture and manga with 1990s New York hardcore. According to Wikipedia, singer Vithia drew the mecha on the cover with Macross, Patlabor, Mobile Suit Gundam and Mobile Fighter G Gundam in mind and names the Akira manga and its 1988 film as a major influence, lead guitarist Eva-B describes a far more modern sound with more hip hop and urban flavour, and the writing began in 2024 on the Showdown tour, when Eva-B sent songs to Vithia and the two traded ideas and lyrics before the others added their parts. Florent Salfati of LANDMVRKS mixed and mastered it, and LANDMVRKS and Aaron Matts of ten56. appear as guests. Wikipedia also notes that "Neo Paris" won the audio-visual award at the first French Metal Awards and that it and "Falcon" were the band's first videos with animation, made with the company Hotu; the band's channel carries both, plus a third video, for "Back 2 Basics".
