ROZARIO – “NORTHERN CRUSADERS”

After receiving ecstatic reviews for their 2023 debut To The Gods We Swear, Norwegian heavy metal warriors ROZARIO return with a vengeance.

Their new album, Northern Crusaders, is not just a follow-up — it’s a statement of intent. This is a band on their own Northern Crusade, carrying the flag for classic, melodic heavy metal into a new era.

Northern Crusaders has been met with phenomenal reviews from all over the world, earning widespread acclaim from critics and fans alike.

The new album is an explosive collection of 12 powerful tracks that blend soaring, epic melodies with hard-hitting rockers — all packed with massive sing-along choruses, fierce conviction, and unstoppable energy.

Behind the wall of sound lies an impressively crafted production, driven by massive drums, thunderous bass, blazing guitars and a powerful, commanding vocal performance. Every riff hits hard, every chorus soars high, and every note bleeds passion and conviction.

ROZARIO have added fresh firepower to the lineup with the incredible young guitarist Taran Lister, whose talent brings an extra edge and intensity to the band’s signature sound.

Northern Crusaders was recorded at Holter Studio, once again with the amazing Trond Holter (Jorn, Wig Wam) at the helm — the band’s trusted producer and unofficial sixth member — ensuring a sound that’s as grand and powerful as the band’s vision itself.

Get ready — the crusade has begun.

9/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Rock Garage, De)

“WHOA!!! Not skipping a beat and picking right up where they left off on their debut album "Fire & Ice" opens up with a monstrous crotch grabbing massive and relentless cacophony of galloping twin guitar riffs and melodic fills that steamrolls into a full frontal nuclear assault that definitely keep us in the fast lane bolstered by the sharp, precise cybernetic rhythm section and magnetic harmonies that had the speakers rattling, pictures falling off my walls and the police at my front door!”
