Metal, Hardcore, Indie, Rock
DragonForce performed live for the first time on Saturday, May 9, at the Welcome To Rockville event in Daytona Beach, Florida, including new singer Alissa White-Gluz (formerly of Arch Enemy), as per Blabbermouth. Marc Hudson, a long-time member of DragonForce, did not perform with the band on stage at Welcome To Rockville due to persistent hearing loss and tinnitus problems that have made it more difficult for him to tour. Alongside White-Gluz, Billy Wilkins will provide lead vocals for DragonForce‘s May 17 performance at the Sonic Temple festival in Columbus, Ohio.
The band’s commemoration of the twentieth anniversary of “Inhuman Rampage” began with DragonForce‘s performance at Welcome To Rockville. Tens of millions of new fans were exposed to the band and their music by “Inhuman Rampage,” the 2006 album that gave rise to the platinum-selling worldwide phenomenon of “Through The Fire And Flames,” which spent 23 weeks on the Billboard 200 and was certified gold.
Founded in 1999 and based between Los Angeles and London, DragonForce have rewritten the rules of heavy metal, while redefining the possibilities of their respective instruments. Since the release of Inhuman Rampage and its signature anthem “Through the Fire and Flames” – the notoriously unbeatable final boss of “Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock” – the GRAMMY®-nominated band have continued to blow the minds of musicians and gamers everywhere. They have been heard in “Despicable Me 4”, “Fortnite Festival”, “Brawl Stars”, “Asphalt Legends” and beyond, and seen on the covers of dozens of magazines. They have played for millions of fans and shared stages with Iron Maiden, Ozzy Osbourne, Slipknot, Metallica and many more, but one thing has always been certain: the fastest band in the world will not slow down.
