DRAGON FORCE

interviewby chris haslam illustrationsby ben tour

Dragonforce are neither faint-hearted, nor for the faint of heart. Everything they do they do full-throttle, with no reservations. As fast as the speediest thrash-metal band, as tech (or more tech) than the most proficient of prog bands, as catchy and anthemic as any pop-metal band (from originators like Van Halen to ironic in-jokes like The Darkness), and as lyrically audacious as the most shameless of fantasy-metal bands, Dragonforce go further than any modern metal band and apologize for nothing.
