The Legacy of Shi is the second studio album from French heavy metal and hardcore punk band Rise of the Northstar.
Punknews.org writer Michael Hawkins praised the album as a whole by saying "Northstar have lost none of their impact, only reinforced it.
Vocalist Vithia echoes this in his lyrics, a concept album story of becoming possessed by a Japanese demon, or yōkai."
He concludes in his review "The Legacy of Shi is a monumental achievement for Rise of the Northstar – one that's made even more impressive by the band's drive to create music on their own terms.
"[11] All lyrics are written by Vithia; all music is composed by Eva-B, Air OneAdapted from the liner notes of The Legacy of Shi.
