YouShouldKnow: DragonForce



Okay, now introducing: DRAGONFORCE. Here are a few facts about DragonForce:

1: Formed in 1999 in London.
2: Are known for fast guitar solos, fantasy-based lyrics, and electronic sounds in their music to add to their retro video game influenced sound.
3: Initially the band intended to call themselves "DragonHeart", but they didn't want to be confused with the Brazilian metal band Dragonheart.
4: Was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance on December 3, 2008.

They are the fastest power metal band I have ever heard, no, let me correct that, the fastest power metal band in the world. But, don't worry, their lyrics are slightly-fast and melodious. No high pitched screaming or growling, just good old power metal at its finest. It's an excellent for those who love metal but are not too fond of all the screaming and growling. I recommend the album: Sonic Firestorm, for beginners.
