Power Metal

Okay, following yesterdays post about Deth-metal band Dethklok, I thought it would only be proper to follow it with the introduction of the Power Metal Kick-Ass-Ery that is Dragonforce. Yes, yes, laugh at the name if you will, but these guys rock hard. Each song is a relentless auditory assault that is enough to make you wet your pants by sheer power of the metal. We first caught wind of these guys on G4's Attack of the Show, and later at our local Taget, when I casually glanced at their CD and thought their name sounded pretty cool. We've run through some of their songs, and I think we all agree that their awesome combination of uplifting and inspirational lyrics, alongside that epic, theatrical, almost symphonic metal sound, makes for the perfect run-your-neighbors-out-of-town vibe. (Not to mention that they got an asian dude playing rhythm guitar!) I've attached one of their music videos below, and you'll be able to see that about the only thing that they truly take seriously is the power to kick your ass with metal. Enjoy!
