Watch DRAGONFORCE's Herman Li Crush A Solo In A Hot Tub

Dragonforce Herman Li solo

We unforuntately missed the 70,000 Tons of Metal this time around. Scheduling couldn't work out for us, but hey, we've attended our fair share of cruises. Dragonforce were partying on the boat, and at one point guitarist Herman Li was completely over shredding on stage, and made his way to the hot tub to shred a few scales. Of course there is video of this, and of course, it is awesome: (more…)

A/V Roundup: Trijuillo Jams INFECTIOUS GROOVES, New DYSRYTHMIA & MONUMENTS; DRAGONFORCE Rig Walthrough

Thursday is here and I am getting ready to go hit up the NYC Death To All concert. I am quite excited for it, and found some tunes to hold me over until then. Check 'em out:

I talked about it in our ORION video report, but the coolest part of the show for me was Robert Truijillo going up and playing with Suicidal Tendencies and playing some Infectious Grooves tracks. Here is some decent quality video of it:

A/V Roundup: New Music from Dave Lombardo's PHILM, MARDUK, RWAKE, TRASH TALK/TOUCHE AMORE Project and more

Get over your hump day with some epic new tracks and some killer videos all curated in today's A/V Roundup:

First, let's talk about PHILM, the new project from Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo. I've been dying to hear some new music from the band and now we got our first taste, courtesy of Terrorizer magazine and I love it. I love the sound they're going for and how it sounds absolutely nothing like Slayer…

Album Review: DRAGONFORCE The Power Within

Dragonforce-The-Power-Within-cover

A couple years ago, I was surprised to hear of ZP Theart’s departure from Dragonforce. Apparently the separation was due to “insurmountable differences of musical opinion”. Incredibly vague as this explanation is, I have a nagging feeling that Theart wanted to push the band’s style in a new direction, and that this clashed with the creative forces of the rest of the band. With new singer Marc Hudson on board, the band appears to have found a singer that allows them to stay in their “extreme power metal” comfort zone. (more…)

DRAGONFORCE Post New Song, Announce New Tour

YouTube Preview Image

Above, you can hear another new song from Dragonforce, "Fallen World," which the band claims is the fastest song they've ever written. Sounds pretty fast. I think I like this better than the first song they released, but it still falls into the trap of sounding pretty much like every other Dragonforce song ever. If this is the sort of thing you are into, you'll be happy to know the band just announced a new tour surrounding their appearance on the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival. They will be taking out Holy Grail and Huntress. Here are the dates: (more…)

New DRAGONFORCE Track Sounds Just Like DRAGONFORCE

YouTube Preview Image

Oh looky, Metal Hammer has premiered a new track, "Fallen World," from UK power metal powerhouse, Dragonforce. Big shocker: it sounds exactly like Dragonforce. The band have a signature sound and they stick to it. Like Slayer, but with high pitched vocals, keys and more nonsensical solos. The band's new album, The Power Within comes out April 17th on Roadrunner Records.

DRAGONFORCE's New Album Art Is Atrocious

Dragonforce The Power Within cover

Do you see this atrocity? Today, Dragonforce announced The Power Within, their new album, the first with new vocalist Marc Hudson, set to be released April 17 on Roadrunner Records. The big story here is just how awful this art is. I remember taking Intro To Adobe Photoshop classes in college and learning the techniques used in this graphic. Seriously guys? Too much bevel! Too much glow! Too much grunge clip art! BLECH! For those interested in the tracklisting, here it is: (more…)
