DragonForce's New Video


While this may not be the news for everyone, it's definitely news for me, DragonForce just released a music video for the song "Heroes of Our Time" off of their new album Ultra Beatdown, which is set to be released in August. I know these guys get a lot of criticism for their outrageously fast playing style and from what I hear, their live shows not being that great. But so what? I think as a power/speed metal band known for playing ridiculously fast, how can anyone deny that they are fun to listen to? After watching the video on YouTube, I found that the dudes from DragonForce are definitely attempting to play even faster than they did on Inhuman Rampage. And after seeing the dueling guitar solo that ensued about half way through the video I think it's amazing to see that Herman Li and Sam Totman have kept adding more strange and unique ways to use their whammy bars and fancy guitar techniques. And with their new Ibanez signature guitars on hand, Herman and Sam are really able to tear it up to no end! I really cannot wait to see how the rest of the album turns out.

Check out the video here.
