|  DragonForce is somewhat of a rarity, based in London England, they play a brand of music that is
almost non-existent in their location. Formed in September 1999,
formerly known as DragonHeart, the band changed their name in December
2001 to DragonForce to avoid confusion with other bands, record labels
and movies under the same name.
The band is powered by the twin guitar assaults of Herman Li and Sam
Totman, with singer ZP Theart, drummer Didier Almouzni, and keyboard
player Vadim Pruzhanov. An ordinary line up it may seem at first, but
DragonForce is uniquely backed by a diverse, multi-culture international
line up (Hong Kong, England, South Africa, France, Ukraine) never seen
before from a young new band.
In short, DragonForce's sound can be best described as a mix of modern
melodic power metal with the fury of speed metalDragonforce, but the
band's influence comes from wide across the metal spectrum. Catchy
melodies that stick straight into your head, combined with outrageous
speed, power and totally over the top dual guitar wizardry are just some
of their qualities which separate them from the masses. Most
importantly underneath this sonic fury lies the band's indisputable
strength, their song writing. Take any of their songs and you will find
enough hooks to fill an ocean, enough technical process to satisfy
progressive metal lovers, guitar solos to have you playing air guitar
combined with catchy melodies and the strong voice of an outstanding
metal shouter.
Well known in the underground, DragonForce has already toured with
Halford, StratovariusDragonforce, Virgin Steele and successfully
headlined their own show across England without an album out then.
Previously known simply by the word of mouth among metal fans, and their
songs on mp3 through the internet (over half a million download of
their demo tracks from mp3.com alone), the band is now more than ready
to take on the world with their long awaited debut album 'Valley Of The
Damned'
'Valley Of The Damned' was recorded in 3 different locations between May
and October 2002. The drums were recorded at Jailhouse Studio in
Denmark with producer Tommy Hansen (Helloween), further recordings took
place at Thin Ice Studios with producer /guitarist Karl Groom
(Threshold) and at band guitarist Herman Li's home studio. The album
truly shows the band's talent from performance, song writing, all the
way to production!  Just before DragonForce embarked on a series of very successful European festival dates including Sweden
Rock Festival, bassist Adrian Lambert joined Dragonforce as a full time
band member after having played session for them for a year.
However, with the last band member vacancy filled another soon appeared.
Torres Rock festival in Spain was the last gig that long time sticksman
Didier Almouzni would play with the band. Time honoured musical
differences had taken their toll and Didier left to pursue other
projects. Despite Didier's departure DragonForce marched their way
across Europe's festivals, always amazed at how many fans came from such
great distances to catch their already reputed live shows.
After an incredible show at UK's Bloodstock 2003 festival, DragonForce
are preparing to enter the studio to record the follow up to their very
successful debut album 'Valley Of The Damned'. With “Maximum Overload,” DragonForce haven’t so much reinvented themselves as reimagined their
aspirations. The result is an album full of command, energy and
vitality. It’s got strength in depth and breadth. Sophistication allied
to an attention to detail that goes beyond what’s been done before.
“Just repeating the same thing is a waste of everyone’s time. We all
feel we’ve recorded something purposeful, for us and the fans.” Quote:
Multi-national metal maestro’s DragonForce have announced the worldwide release in
July of their debut DVD entitled ‘In The Line Of Fire’.
Shot in 1080p High Definition during the band’s Ultimate Stage headline
show at 2014’s Loud Park Festival in the Saitama Super Arena, Tokyo, the
band used over 10 camera angles to capture the raw energy of their show
and instrumental dexterity for which they are rightly celebrated
worldwide.
The track listing below features a mixture of new songs from the latest
album ‘Maximum Overload’ mixed in with foot stomping anthems and
lightning fast shred-fests from previous releases.
Fury of the Storm
Three Hammers
Black Winter Night
Seasons
Tomorrow’s Kings
Symphony of the Night
Cry Thunder
Ring of Fire
Through the Fire and the Flames
Valley of the Damned
DragonForce are currently on the Maximum Overload World Tour, which
commenced in September 2014 and is due to conclude in 2016. Throughout
their six studio album and multiple world tour history DF have
steadfastly refused to shoot a DVD, until now.
Guitarist Herman Li explains,
“We always held the opinion that if we ever did a DVD we wanted to do it
properly. Now, having released six studio albums we thought we had a
great cross section of material to pick from and we knew the facilities
at Loud Park made it a great place to film a show. Everything just came
together and we’re very pleased with the results and hope the fans will
be also”.
A snapshot of the DVD can be seen by checking out the just released
second music video from ‘Maximum Overload’, ‘Three Hammers’ which
includes shot from the same show!  Band Members: Sam Totman: Guitar
