Biography

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.

    My favorite rhyme of theirs is in Fury of the Storm when they rhyme "Cry for war" with "Forevermore" and then on the very next verse they rhyme "Forevermore" with "Cry for war"

    They sure like rhyming "madness" with "sadness" now that people mention it.

    Well, Inhuman Rampage and Ultra Beatdown are basically the same thing the whole time, but the rest of their stuff has decent variety.

    I've always found it interesting that considering how similar a lot of their songs are, people tend to have very different opinions on what their greatest songs are.

    "On the endless sea of madness we sail forever more And the endless tears of sadness towards the distant shores" After hearing that I officially can say with confidence I love every single record they've put out. I didn't like the first album until I listened to Black Winter Night
