DragonForce is a band that was formed in 1999, from the remnants of band Demoniac under the name of DragonHeart. However, the band soon changed its name to DragonForce before releasing any commercial albums due to possible commercial issues with Brazilian band DragonHeart. Their career began with publishing of songs on the first incarnation of MP3.com, claiming the top of the site’s heavy charts. The hit song Valley Of The Damned reached over 500,000 downloads in the first few months.

Despite this, two of the original members, Steve Williams and Steve Scott left the band to form power metal outfit Power Quest.

The band has enjoyed increasing popularity over the years, publishing four albums and touring extensively while supporting artists such as Helloween, W.A.S.P. and Iron Maiden. Their 2005 tour in support of the Sonic Firestorm album included support from Angra and Mendeed during their passage through the UK.

On October 28, 2005 bassist Adrian Lambert announced his departure from the band. (Lambert later revealed in an interview that he had left due to musical differences with Herman Li and Sam Totman). Less than a month after Lambert’s departure, on November 23th 2005, DragonForce was signed to Roadrunner Records which released their album Inhuman Rampage in 2006. Lambert was replaced in 2006 by Frédéric Leclercq, who was made an official member after a performance on tour.

    I'm going on a crusade to get the band Amaranthe tagged as power metal. If you would like to help me out pick up your sword and go to http://www.last.fm/music/Amaranthe?ac=amaranthe I know they are kinda far away from power metal, but that just means that they are what dragonforce was singing about this whole time.

    Huh, I see, thanks for the info. This means there's just 1 to-be-reused track left. Huzzah.

    v Check this post on the official DF forums. (you need to register in order to see it). Apparently Herman himself confirmed that it was made by someone else, not by Sam, as he lacks time for other projects.

    Oh? Who's behind the thing, then? MetalArchives suggest that it's still Sam. Also the download link leads to the archive named "wank.zip" so I was like ABSOLUTELY sure it's him xD
