The vocals come in around 1:00 and sound much more triumphant and happy than the last track. 10/10įury of the Storm: Starts a little slower than the previous track, but quickly speeds up with more incredible harmonies. THe intro riff then reappears to close out the song. At 6:15, the solo ends, yet the guitar remains some incredible melody, and Theart just “Woahs” in a typical fashion.

It’s all full of speed and melody and lasts around 2-3 minutes. Li and Totman really shred at breakneck speed’s through the solo. The whole process repeats, and then what really defines Dragonforce comes in: the solos. After, a short and catchy guitar interlude comes in, leading back to the verse. The guitars retain their breakneck Speed throughout. Theart sings in an almost falsetto voice in parts of the chorus, which is definitely among the album’s best. The pre chorus lightens up a bit for a more triumphant sound and then finally, the amazingly catchy chorus comes in. Theart starts with his fantasy like vocals here as the rhythm section tears it up. The verse features a bit of a darker sound, just a bit. The melody to this song is so damn catchy, yet very happy of course. Finally, the speed comes, and Li and Totman deliver with one of my favorite lead guitar riffs ever. A dramatic build up follows with some stings, most likely played on the keyboard. Then, the crushing guitar riff enters, with a bit of a darker sound than most of the album. My Spirit Will Go On: The album opener starts with a cool clean guitar part. Though it’s extremely corny and a bit too happy, Sonic Firestorm is definitely the band’s best release. However, this surprisingly works and helps define Dragonforce’s sound. Pruzhanov adds some very video game-esque sounds to the music, adding even more corniness. It’s all got a very positive vibe to it, it s so happy in fact that I sometimes have to listen to something more evil sounding, like Children of Bodom to rid of it. Like the lyrics suggest, each song sounds royal and triumphant, like fighting a dragon or something. Thus when audible, you can here him delivering some blistering parts to the rhythm section.ĭRagonforce’s sound is a very unique one. Bassist Frederic Leclercq, though not always audible basically plays just as much as the guitars do.

Keyboard Vadim Pruzhanov adds a very atmospheric and fantasy sounding feel to the music, plus he manages to play just as fast as Li and Totman. If you ask me his voice sounds a lot like the lead singer of Rush’s voice (can’t believe I forgot his name) Dave Mackintosh is a hell f a drummer, and really beats the hell out of the double bass. Vocalists ZP Theart has very unique voice, that really sounds perfect for this type of music. Though the songs are pretty lengthy, the band’s incredible musicianship keeps it interesting. Each track here succeeds the five minute mark, so for an 8 song album, it’s about the same length as a 14 song album from any average band. I personally find Valley of The Damned and Inhuman Rampage a bit boring, but here, I can actually stay focused. With their second release, Dragonforce definitely showcases their best effort. Guitarists Herman Li and Sam Totman play fast as hell, and really don’t stop. But damn, the shredfests featured in every track sure make up for it all.ĭragonforce is a 6-membered band formed in England, and though it’s true that they really aren’t original at all, they do what they do well. Sometimes you can’t help but laugh your ass off listening to Dragonforce, it can be hard to take them seriously. Their lyrics are all fantasy-esqe all about knights in shining armor and stuff like that. Ahh.incredible guitar harmonies, 3 minute long solos per song, corny ass lyrics.Dragonforce is one of the many bands that truly define power metal.
