‘Inhuman Rampage’ turns 20: Herman Li wants a classic DragonForce reunion

Author Benedetta Baldin - 27.3.2025

With a touring schedule that reflects the original album cycle, British power metal band DragonForce may celebrate their 20th anniversary of their third studio album, “Inhuman Rampage,” on the road next year. Herman Li, the band’s guitarist, recently discussed that record and the prospect of celebrating it while touring in 2026 in a live stream.

Why is it good? Well, first we’ve gotta play ‘Through The Fire And Flames‘ not last. That would be a great change. And I do like those songs. I think they’re great songs. I’d love to play some of them again. Of course, we played ‘Revolution Deathsquad‘ recently. We’ve been playing… Oh, shit. That’s right. ‘Cry For Eternity‘ will be on it. Is ‘Cry For Eternity‘ on that album? Yes. Well, that’s the bad thing. I’ve gotta learn that song finally — I’ve gotta shut up and learn it. But ‘Operation Ground And Pound‘, we played that song, we played ‘Body Breakdown‘, we played all those songs before. So it shouldn’t be too hard to learn mainly, and it would be kind of cool.

He continued:

I’ll ask the people that were part of that tour lineup to see if they would do it too. So we will see what result I’ll get. But I have started asking people to see if they wanna be part of it. Life has changed for a lot of people that was once on that tour lineup. So, we’ll see what happens. But I’m telling you, I will ask them, I will talk to them. If this doesn’t happen with them, it’s not my fault. I have asked them. So, that’s the plan. So we’re still in the early stage of planning. We’ll see if we can get a tour for that too.
