This morning we present DragonForce; a British "extreme" power metal band that's been rumbling around for about ten years now. They have a fantasy/SF feel to a lot of their stuff, and are noted for their blazingly fast guitar solos.

This has been a source of controversy in the past. Critics have accused the band of speeding up the tracks on their studio albums. This mainly seems to be based on performances where band members were either ill or drunk, and not able to maintain the usual pace.

They have a new album coming out in August. But today we pull one of their signature tunes, Through The Fire And Flames

I saw that on Countdown, and damn does that man have some pipes!

If I ever find him on YouTube, I'll probably through the band into the mix for HMS.
