DragonForce
The Force is with us as DragonForce return in a succession of blistering concerts throughout the UK taking place in locations in Scotland and cities like Liverpool, Bradford, Wolverhampton and Cornwall.
One of the greatest heavy rock acts around, DragonForce is famed for its “extreme power metal” that incorporates influences from computer games, and electronic sounds.
Fronted by ZP Theart, the outfit are a romantic looking bunch with glossy locks that would put any cavalier to shame. Any DragonForce concert will involve fast-paced twin guitars and keyboards with dramatic songs inspired by heroic subjects including war, journeys and battles as phantasmagoric elements combine with larger than life, epic rock, screaming vocals, keyboard wizardry and dazzling fretboard work.
Spawned in 1999 in London, DragonForce first won its spurs with the breakthrough album of 2006, Inhuman Rampage which contained the band’s biggest hits, Operation Ground and Pound and Through the Fire and Flames. The latter track features on the game Guitar Hero lll: Legends of Rock. The 2008 single, Heroes of Our Time from the album Ultra Beatdown, was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Metal Perfomance in 2008.
As their die hard fans across the world already know, it’s well worth battling through Fire and Flames to see this outfit in action – they’re from the stuff that legends are made of.
