Now Dragonforce are used to having big epic long 6-8 (and one 9 minute) songs, with loads of twists and turns and a lot of instrumental passages and just a lot of fun. But the big thing I saw as a dramatic change was the length of the tracks. Some interesting arrangements and that, but still the same. I find it funny that at the start of each song in the lyric booklet there is almost an explanation of the song, making them seem that they are actually about something.and they're not. The lyrics are the same as always, about the slain, the fallen wastelands, the glory and all that stuff. Now I have a theory that this band are turning into the French Power metal band Heavenly (mainly due to the ex guitar player from Heavenly is the bands bass player) Not that the band have lost any of their flair, it's just that.we've heard all this before. Granted, the songs are kick and and there are some interesting new moments.Dragonforce have weakened and aged a bit. Starting on negativity, the band hasn't really changed too much. Now that the new voice has been found, the band needed an album to show these dudes still matter.so was it successful. Well in my opinion I do prefer ZP, but still.the new dude can wail. So Dragonforce auditioned many different lead singers from across the globe to get the position, and what they found was Marc Hudson.
Loads of bands are able to reinvent themselves when a new lead singer approaches.but that lead singer better be good. When a lead singer leaves a band, the personality is usually lost. Now ever since there shot to fame since the Guitar Hero fad, the bands last 2 albums where very good, with Inhuman Rampage being the perfect follow up to Sonic Firestorm in my opinion. These guys where also one of the first bands I ever saw live. Then I bought Sonic Firestorm, and yea, that album is probably one of my most favourite albums of all time. I heard “My Spirit Will Go On”, and I just fell in love with the band. I remember first getting into the band when I was about 11. And Dragonforce are power metal for a specialist audience. Now I do love a lot of power metal bands. Dragonforce have always been a guilty pleasure for me.
