Power-metal superheroes DragonForce just dropped their eighth full-length, the aptly titled Extreme Power Metal, a high-flying shred-athon that culminates in a freewheeling cover of Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go on.” Crank it up below and feel like the king of the world. Extreme Power Metal was recorded, in part, on guitarist Herman Li’s livestream channel on Twitch with participation from the fans.
“This album again combines the best of DragonForce in an even bigger, more epic way than we have ever done before,” Li enthused of the record. “We are so excited for fans to hear it.” The keyboards of the album were performed by Coen Janssen (Epica), who played in place of Vadim Pruzhanov, who split with the band last year. Guitarist Sam Totman commented on his contribution: “We worked really closely with Coen on this new album. We are so happy with what he has brought into this new album. Every fan will be so happy to hear his majestic playing.” See the full track listing and DragonForce’s upcoming tour dates below.
