Manga and anime have become a massive force in pop culture around the world, being something that is celebrated and enjoyed by many. 20 years ago in the United States and most of Europe, that wasn't the case. Of course it was popular in Japan, but also in France?
So what happens when French musicians grow up on manga & anime, create heavy music heavily inspired and driven by that love for manga, and make music in a creative & unique way, you know you found something. And when heavy music is in the midst of its revival, it is the perfect storm, for the perfect band.
B from the metacore x hardcore x rap x manga band Rise of the Northstar joins the Chord Progression Podcast. The band is set to release their brand new album "Chapter 04: Red Falcon Super Battle! New Paris War!!" on November 14th, and we get you ready for it right here. On this episode, we discuss:
- How manga has had a strong connection to French kids for many years compared to the USA & the rest of Europe, and how its inspiration has lead Rise of the Northstar to create a truly unique sound in heavy music.
- Why metal became too saturated in the past, and why it is important for artists to take inspiration from their own cultures infused into their music for a unique and authentic take.
- Delivering an evolved sound that is not just straightforward heavy all the time on the new album, but taking more nu metal inspiration to create something much more dynamic mixed in with manga.
Alright, this is unique, and more artists like this are coming. Tap the subscribe button because more is coming.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
