"What a sick mixture of some of the greatest influences from the 90's, I love what they are doing!" - Billy Graziadei (BIOHAZARD)

Manga themed (Japanese graphic novels) hardcore metal outfit RISE OF THE NORTHSTAR has launched a competition for their fans to win a hand drawn manga by singer Vithia. Check out the drawing and details here: http://bit.ly/MangaComp.
The picture was drawn when the band visited the Nuclear Blast Headquarters in Donzdorf, Germany last Friday for the company's annual end-of-year party, and performed in the offices in front of a completely stunned crowd. Check out some photos of RISE OF THE NORTHSTAR live in action, as well as of label mates DIABLO BLVD who also played that night, courtesy of Manuela Dieringer | DIMA Photography at this location: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152956013818694.1073741832.224325578693&type=1
