About Rozario
ROZARIO – “NORTHERN CRUSADERS”
After receiving ecstatic reviews from all over the world 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.
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.
"Presenting traditional heavy metal at its most impassioned and inspirational, To The Gods We Swear by Rozario is one of the most stunning debut albums of the year from any genre».
6/6 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️(Highwire Daze, Us)
"To The Gods We Swear" prepares us for a melodic, wild dynamic of over 40 minutes. With an amazing, strong performance, full of energy and with a crazy killer sound, the debut album crashes through the wall. They swear by their gods, and I believe that their gods will not forsake them. My rating for this debut is a whopping 10 Hellfire points."
