The song comes off the band’s upcoming second full-length album, The Legacy Of Shi.

The band recently released a video in which they explain the concept of the so called Northcards that will be included in every digipack of The Legacy Of Shi.

Earlier the band had announced that the digipack edition of the album will include 1 of 10.000 so called “Northcards” (also see graphic below), featuring one of the band’s members. 10 of the cards will be different “Shi Northcards”. Find it and you will be rewarded.

The Legacy Of Shi will be released on 19th October through Nuclear Blast (Sharptone Records in the USA, Ward Records in Japan) and was recorded with Gojira‘s Joe Duplantier in his Brooklyn, NY-based Silver Cord Studios. The album will contain 11 brand new songs and one additional bonus track (vinyl and Japan only) with a running time of 44, respectively 48 minutes.

The album will be available as CD digipack, various vinyl colors (black, white, black/white bi-colored) and as digital download/stream via all known platforms.

Over the course of the past 4 years, the internationally acclaimed band has become a household name for crossing 90’s metal, rap, hardcore and Japanese culture as well as brutal and intense live shows. After the release of their globally praised debut album, Welcame (2014), the band embarked on countless tours, leaving dropped jaws everywhere. With their new, crushing album in store, the Northstar will rise to unknown heights.
