  DragonForce - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
DragonForce originally formed in 1999 from the remnants of Black Metal band Demoniac (and various other extreme metal groups) under the name of Dragonheart, but soon changed their name to DragonForce before releasing any commercial albums due to possible trademark issues with a Brazilian band of the same title.
DragonForce claims that their music is not produced to be wholly serious and the lyrics, which pertain usually to fantasy subjects such as battles, swords, quests and heroes, support this.
DragonForce have stated that they base their music on fantasy-related materials such as video games including "Wonder Boy in Monster World" (a game for the Sega Megadrive console), and carries lyrical themes which are sometimes similar to those of, for example, The Lord of the Rings, relating to fantasy subjects and battles.

 Dragonforce - Skateboard-City Forum
Dragonforce is so fast, that one time their manager made them play a gig under water to slow them down.
Dragonforce doesn't qualify as "real" music, because their skills are so godlike, their music couldn't possibly be created by man, and so it must be unreal.
DragonForce claim that their music is not produced to be wholly serious and the lyrics, which pertain usually to fantasy subjects such as battles, swords, quests and heroes, serve to back up this claim.

If this is the first time you have heard Dragonforce, you will be impressed by the jawdropping speed they play at, while still managing to add in extremely catchy tunes.
Considering that Dragonforce are about to fling a new slab of breakneck-paced melodic metal at the world, I figured it was high time I put down my thoughts on the debut, after having a year to take it in.

Against all the odds, DRAGONFORCE have single-handedly revitalised power metal in their UK homeland, awarding credibility to a genre that til their arrival was regarded was little more than a joke.

DragonForce is somewhat of a rarity, based in London England, they play a brand of music that is almost non-existent in their location.
In short, DragonForce's sound can be best described as a mix of modern melodic power metal with the fury of speed metal, but the band's influence comes from wide across the metal spectrum.
Catchy melodies that stick straight into your head, combined with outrageous speed, power and totally over the top dual guitar wizardry are just some of their qualities which separate them from the masses.

 Sonic Firestorm - Dragonforce, Music Downloads - Online
England's Dragonforce is a perfect example; although their second album, Sonic Firestorm, is a 2004 release, it might as well have been recorded in 1981.
Just as the "Young Lions" of hard bop and post-bop reject fusion, crossover jazz and free jazz, Dragonforce is oblivious to alt-metal, rap-metal, death metal/fl metal, metalcore, and other styles that have flourished in post-'80s metal.
Nonetheless, Dragonforce's long-haired members are good at what they do -- and what this CD lacks in originality, it usually makes up for in terms of passion, energy, and craftsmanship.

 Dragonforce + Mendeed @ Liverpool Academy, Liverpool : gig review
As for Dragonforce, it is like a spontaneous heat wave as soon as the sextet walk on to the tiny stage with a near riot being caused amongst their over-enthusiastic followers - that's the result of zealous fans with a few pints in their stomachs!
Although at times you wonder if Dragonforce are taking the mick with their silly stage antics and "power metal", their current Meet The Sonic Firestorm Tour has given this group of metal warriors considerable kudos in all corners of the country and tonight is yet another show packed to the brim.
Dragonforce must have walked away from Liverpool feeling like proper legends, such is the strength of the crowd's reaction to supercharged songs such as My Spirit Will Go On.

 DragonForce - Inhuman Rampage Review - sputnikmusic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
DragonForce�s main selling point is their duo of virtuosic guitarists: Herman Li (Chun Li?) and Sam Totman have a long history together, having come together as a pairing in 1998 when Li (then known as �Shred�) joined Totman�s (a.k.a �Heimdall�) speed metal project Demoniac.
While this may not be DragonForce�s masterpiece, it�s definitely a step in the right direction for me. Perhaps with the addition of a sixth member, bassist Fred LeClerqe, DragonForce will assemble the collection of songs to adequately compliment their already well-refined sound.
Dragonforce is essentially a one trick pony; aside from a rare few cases, they tend to follow the exact same pattern, throughout three albums, no less.

 Dragonforce + Edguy @ Astoria, London : gig review
Following a rapturously received intro soundtrack of metal godfathers Slayer, power metal's latest poster men Dragonforce take to the stage, smash into their opening number and turn their fanatical audience into a frenzied sea of flailing locks and raised fists.
Nearly eight minutes (and many double tap guitar solos) later we are wished a good evening by front man ZP Theart who, we are to discover, likes to swear, shake his clenched fist while singing and have his mic stand thrown on stage to him after every instrumental solo.
Although the majority of the audience either do not notice this rather cheeky gesture or are too amused to break it to the band, the real test of Dragonforce's sense of humour will be to see if this episode makes it on to the DVD that tonight's show is being filmed for.

Against all the odds, DragonForce have single-handedly revitalised power metal in their homeland of the UK, awarding credibility to a genre that till their arrival was regarded was little more than a joke.
Early support UK spots with Halford, plus the timely recruitment of a superior rhythm section moulded a professionalism to match their commitment, and before too long the group were placed on the launching pad of international success.
But most of all, DragonForce’s success is attributable to playing ability and perhaps their most under-played asset of all – a skill for composing ultra-memorable, rabble-rousing heavy metal anthems.

Bio: U.K. power metal sextet Dragonforce formed in 1999 around the twin-guitar assault of Herman Li and Sam Totman, keyboard player Vadim Pruzhanov, and the powerful vocals of ZP Theart -- drummer David Mackintosh and bass player Adrian Lambert joined later.
Dragonforce had already toured with the likes of Halford and Stratovarius before the release of their debut, 2003's Valley of the Damned.
The success of that record found the melodic rockers a worldwide audience, resulting in a string of sold-out concerts in Asia and Europe.

They not only combine the factors of being musically diverse along with a completely technical level of play; but they include a level of speed that at times will make you surely think that your CD is skipping instead of playing.
Dragonforce, however, has plenty of talent, both lyrically and musically.
Anyway, aside from their mastery of instrumentals, Dragonforce's mythical lyrics always fascinate me (I'd MUCH rather heard a song with medieval lyrics than any band that sings about being bored, etc. or whatever).

 USA (Worcester), April 30, 2006 Review | Dragonforce | Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com
The room got dark they walked on and exploded into Black Fire, Zp's vocals sounded very close to those we hear on the record but all of the instruments were all kind of packed together so it was tough to destinguish them all the time.
Tickets were $40 this was at the NEHMF so there where many bands that accompanied Dragonforce like Into Eternity, Gamma Ray (headliners) and Wolf who all put on great shows.
Other than BCC it was worth every penny and I was reluctant to go because of the price (I don't know why) and I'm extremely glad I did it was the best time of my life and I will drive to NY to see them again if I have to.

Of course as always, the songs are extremely melodic, though some of the melodies are familiar from previous albums.......but you won't notice as soon as your headbanging to the music.

 PunkROCKS.net CD Review - Dragonforce - Sonic Firestorm
On Dragonforce’s latest power metal masterpiece Sonic Firestorm they have taken the best qualities of the aforementioned bands, creating an album that is exactly what the title suggests.......a Sonic Firestorm.
There isn’t a song under 5 minutes long, and for the sake of saying it, this album is almost a sensory overload.
Dragonforce hasn’t used any of the stereotypical power metal elements in moderation whatsoever.

DragonForce's 2003 release Valley of the Damned is an album for music fans who just cannot relate to the primordial screams and inhuman growls that characterize modern metal.
However, the six-piece DragonForce is fronted by the sweet, melodic voice of ZP Theart, who sings anthems of positivism and overcoming obstacles.
In the midst of dueling guitars and unfathomably fast drumming is his voice of hope, and some melodious keyboard playing as well.

 ::.. Metal Monk UK ..:: - Review: DRAGONFORCE - Inhuman Rampage
The new golden boys of hyped up nonsense “DragonForce” bring their third offering to the table with “Inhuman Rampage” - and with it they certainly bring a refreshed, thundering production - with more “widdle” than you can shake a handful of fine English cheddar at.
What I do have to fault is Dragonforce’s lack of progression from album to album.
If you are an avid fan of Dragonforce then you will most likely love “Inhuman Rampage” — if you couldn’t stand DF before then this album certainly won’t change your mind.
