Dragonforce rose up in UK in 1999 from the remnants of the black metal band Demoniac. They play power metal, its very fast technically complex and melodic metal with opera styled vocals, lots of keyboards, shredding and great melodies. This genre is old and already has lot of masterpiece albums, so this band decided not to invent something new but to make it as technically complex as possible. Actually I don’t think that anyone needs to play power after Dragonforce released four albums of incredible music.
The six members of Dragonforce are all spectacular musicians while the main task of bass and drums are to keep up the speed, the guitar platers Tom and Herman are spectacular shredders praised with lots of awards from metal and guitar magazines. Their skills are really amazing. The vocalist ZP and the keyboardist Vadim are keeping the fantasy mood of the record with great melodic singing and keyboards that are sometimes far more interesting that the standard power metal.
With their latest released Ultra Beatdown, they once again proved that they are unmatched.
