The Warrior InsideIn a recent interview with
Revolver magazine,
DRAGONFORCE guitarist
Sam Totman stated about the group's new material, "It's not going to be majorly different. But hopefully the melodies will be nicer, the guitar solos will be better, the production will be better. You just try to improve in every area." Vocalist
ZP Theart added, "There isn't much to change, but yet there is. The last three albums have been very much guitar-orientated, and this one probably will be as well, but I want to try to do some extra coloring in with the vocals."
Asked if the songs will be faster, guitarist
Herman Li replied, "Bands always say, 'Our new album is faster and heavier,' and then it's never true, so we're not gonna say that. But playing fast just works for us. People who say we play too fast are probably right, but guess what? There's a million other bands that play slow. People listen to
DRAGONFORCE and go to the show because they know that we're doing something other bands aren't doing."
DRAGONFORCE is taking part in the inaugural
Rockstar Energy Mayhem touring festival alongside
Roadrunner labelmates
SLIPKNOT.
DRAGONFORCE's last album,
"Inhuman Rampage", is still romping out of stores on both sides of the pond, thanks in part to the inclusion of lead track
"Through The Fire And Flames" as the "advanced" level on the top-selling
Guitar Hero III computer game.
