The Power Within

I’m not one for the DragonForce. Admittedly, when they first sort of broke some five years or so ago, I liked that one song that was in all the video games and shit.

I thought it was fast and cool, but the rest of that album was horse shit. We won’t be fooled again!

DragonForce will release its fifth studio album, The Power Within, in the U.K. on April 15 through the band’s own Electric Generation Recordings, distributed by Essential Music.

The ten-track LP is the band’s first with new singer Marc Hudson in the fold.

“The last two years have been the most fun we ever had making an album,” says guitarist Herman Li. “Through writing, jamming and touring together, we have built this incredible energy and it has been fully captured on the new album.

“This time around we’ve really brought our metal side to the surface and made some of the best music of our career. From the fastest song we’ve ever recorded ['Fallen World'] to the slower songs, and some things you would never expect from us, this is by far the most diverse DragonForce album yet.”

Songs to appear on the disc include “Holding On,” “Fallen World,” “Cry Thunder,” “Wings of Liberty,” “Heart Of The Storm,” and “Last Man Stands.”

    I literally thought that all those names had been used before. By this very band. They should probably use more inspiration than the latest DnD ruleset and Masters of the Universe reruns.
