The Awakening is the first track off Rise of the Northstar’s second studio album The Legacy of Shi and was released on October 19th, 2018.
The track mostly consists of a monologue talking about the samurai Shi and his legacy, setting the backstory for the album’s concept.
[Verse 1: Shiho]
At the beginning there was a samurai
After fighting 1000 battles and 100 wars, he was denied entrance into heaven
Wounded by solitude, he went to rest in the depths of a forest
10 times per Millenium, he chooses a host, and accompanies him for 100 years
Retreating from his enclave to escape his extreme loneliness, he carries on his reign and recreates a world suited to his persona: One of war and conflict. From generation to generation he embraces various forms and remains unknown to mortals, but ancient writings give evidence of his apparitions throughout history...
The gigantic black samurai submitting his host to a life of domination
[Verse 2: Vithia]
Out from nowhere, representing everybody, this is Rise of the Northstar and the Legacy of Shi!
Motherfucker!
The Awakening was written by Air One & Evangelion-B & Vithia.
The Awakening was produced by Rise of the Northstar & Joe Duplantier.
