Product Description
On the way to selling over 300,000 albums and spawning a gold digital single, DragonForce went from being one of metal's fastest bands to a cultural phenomenon thanks to constant touring and a little game called "Guitar Hero." The song 'Through The Fire And Flames' was included in "Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock" and helped spread the name and music of the band. Now, the band is back to deliver an "Ultra Beatdown" to the unsuspecting public. This album takes off where "Inhuman Rampage" left off, with soaring, epic vocals and lightning fast guitar solos. Led by the single and incredible video, 'Heroes Of Our Time,' the album will continue to spread the name DragonForce from message boards to schoolyards and beyond.

I admit it-I don't get the popularity of Dragonforce and they are beyond corny, but I've never, ever heard guitar playing (especially harmonies) that insanely fast-so to them I give them major props for making something as uncommercial as their music popular, and being brilliant musicians. Of course Guitar Hero has made them even more popular. But the D&D lyrics and helium singing keep me far, far away. Anyway...

In a recent interview with Revolver magazine, DRAGONFORCE guitarist Sam Totman stated about the group's new material, "It's not going to be majorly different. But hopefully the melodies will be nicer, the guitar solos will be better, the production will be better. You just try to improve in every area." Vocalist ZP Theart added, "There isn't much to change, but yet there is. The last three albums have been very much guitar-orientated, and this one probably will be as well, but I want to try to do some extra coloring in with the vocals."

DRAGONFORCE will head Stateside in late June for the start of the inaugural Rockstar Energy Mayhem touring festival. The package kicks off in early July and is headlined by Roadrunner labelmates SLIPKNOT.
