See, theirs this one corner in the venue which i thought would be the most appropriate place to stand because the only people who would be going past will be the people going to the toilet as the toilet is literally round the corner and theirs the back door for the bar where the people attending the bar come out. a group of wild hooligans twice the size of me stood in-front of me blocking my view. When it came to the Line Up it was all go, i thought yes i got lucky and i'm close and comfortable, dun dun dur. I went in planning the most reasonable area to stand which i thought was a good idea at first. Upon arriving into the room, there was a heavy aroma of sweat and alcohol from drinks brought before the show and the first thing my eyes lay upon was the over priced merch which i still wanted to buy badly but couldn't afford. The album also features a cover of Johnny Cash classic “Ring of Fire” – needs to be heard to be believed! The band’s sixth album “Maximum Overload” released in August 2014 features backing vocals by Trivium frontman Matt Heafy. The band embarked on a UK and Ireland tour and played at Soundwave Festival in Australia in February 2013. Their fifth album “The Power Within” was released in April 2012 with new vocalist Marc Hudson, after ZP Heart’s resignation due to “insurmountable differences in musical opinion”. Lead single “Heroes of our Time” won the band their first Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance, however they lost out to Metallica’s “My Apocalypse”. The band admits the influence of video games on their music and often pays homage to it in their music videos.ĭragonForce’s fourth album “Ultra Beatdown” was released in 2008, after having toured with Disturbed and Slipknot during Mayhem Festival. Due to their fast arpeggios and use of electronic sounds similar to those of chiptune (used in older video games), DragonForce have been labelled as “Nintendo-metal” by some magazines. Lead single and arguably their most famous song to date “Through the Fire and Flames” has featured in several video games, including “Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock”, “Brutal Legend” and also as downloadable content for the “Rock Band” games. The band hit the mainstream in 2006, after signing to RoadRunner Records and releasing their third album, “Inhuman Rampage”. During this time, DragonForce toured with the likes of Iron Maiden and W.A.S.P and increasingly became headliners themselves. Their sophomore album, “Sonic Firestorm” (2004) was even more successful than their debut, with lead single “Fury of the Storm” becoming another fan favorite. The lead single from the album is one of their most well-known songs and is still an integral part of the band’s performances today. In the same year, the band signed to Noise Records and began recording their debut album, also titled “Valley of the Damned”. In 2002, the power-metallers released their debut single “Valley of the Damned”, and officially changed their name to DragonForce, after finding out that another band were performing under the name DragonHeart.

Originally called “DragonHeart”, the band released an independent demo in 2000, swiftly making them one of the most popular independent power metal bands in the UK. Their song " Through the Fire and Flames" is one of their most famous songs and is featured on the game " Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock" The first song and first single, " Heroes of Our Time", from their album, Ultra Beatdown, was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance on December 3, 2008, and is also in the video game Skate 2.The band was founded in 1999 by guitarists Herman Li and Sam Totman, who had previously played together in New Zealand-based black metal band Demoniac. They first called themselves "DragonHeart", but found that a band with this same name already existed. DragonForce was founded in 1999 by singer ZP Theart, bassist Steve Scott, guitarists Sam Totman and Herman Li, drummer Didier Almouzni, and keyboardist Steve Williams.
