2009 Grammy Nominee metal band DragonForce returns to
Singapore with a one-night only concert at D’Marquee, Downtown East
on Saturday, 11th April 2009. Nominated for Best Metal
Performance for the track ‘Heroes of Our Time’ in the coming Grammy
awards on 8th February, DragonForce has achieved incredible
worldwide success over the past two years with their explosive and
entertaining live shows.
The Singapore leg of the world tour will feature songs from their
latest album ‘Ultra Beatdown’ as well as hits from their previous
albums. Their last album ‘Inhuman Rampage’ sold in excess of
350,000 copies in America alone, over 85,000 in the UK and 600,000
worldwide, spawning the US Gold single ‘Through The Fire and
Flames’, thus giving DragonForce the cachet of being the most
successful new British metal act in America for two decades!
‘Ultra Beatdown’ is the album that has taken DragonForce to new
heights, and has escalated to the Top 20 charts in the UK, USA,
Canada, Australia, Taiwan, Singapore and the Top 10 in
Japan.
Dragonforce’s Hong Kong born guitar virtuoso Herman Li
stated “I always knew we would have a good shot at success in the
Far East, the people there like a good show and appreciate good
music. Many bands don’t pay enough attention to the countries in
that area of the world! The last Far East tour in 2007 came at the
end of an 18 month long World Tour, but we all promised fans we
would play there live and honoured that promise. I’m looking
forward to playing Hong Kong, but we’ll put on a great show for all
the fans in China, Taiwan, Thailand and Singapore! It is great to
be back!”
DragonForce’s appeal extends beyond music fans; Guitar Hero
III: Legends of Rock fanatics will definitely recognise the song
‘Through the Fire and Flames’ from their ‘Inhuman Rampage’ album.
This is listed as the most popular song on the game’s official
website. With the game spanning all three major consoles: Xbox 360,
Wii and Playstation 2, the latter song will possibly be the best
exposed Metal single to gamers, being notorious as the most
difficult to play in the game.
ahhh sellouts..Since Inhuman Rampage, even 10 year olds
know about Dragonforce from Guitar Hero 
Wat happened to music like "Valley of the
Damned" and "Storming the burning fields" ?? Why DF why?!?!?!
