   DragonForce
  Who agrees, that they kick ass? See the solo at the end!">
  I've seriously watched this video at least 10 times. I love it. The guitar work is crazy.Power Metal FOREVER!!!If you want some more good power metal, checked out Edguy. They rock!   ;  DragonForce does indeed kick ass. So does Heavenly.Recommend power metal bands!   ;  I dont even like metal Iam more into rap,  but these guys are amazing!!!   ;  *so boring*   ;  I don't know how I feel about keyboards in a metal band, and the guy's voice is a little too sweet, and the guitar work is a little too fast for that kind of style, but I like it. It's almost a mix of Megadeth, In Flames, and Dredg.   ;  The song is damn good. I like how the video is just them playing as well, no gimmicks.   ;  DragonForce... hmm good stuff... crazy power speed metal...I wish I could figure out how that guy can play without getting carpal tunnel.   ;Quote:Original post by Salsa*so boring*Pretty much every one of their songs is about knights slaying dragons. It gets old after a while. Over time I've moved away from mostly all power metal (Iron Maiden, In Flames, Edguy, Dragonforce) and more into alternative/indie (acoustic) rock. A lot of metal bands seem to be relentlessly drilling the same old lyrics into your head (Maiden not so much, but definitely the other three), and soon enough you'll get tired of it.Down with narrow songwriting. [rolleyes](I'm not saying I don't like Dragonforce, Maiden, Edguy or the others, but only in small doses. As for Dragonforce, once you've heard one you've heard them all.)   ;  Dragonforce are awesome. Their previous album, Sonic Firestorm, is their best work IMO. Very melodic, the intensity of their music comes from the speed rather than the rawness/heavyness of it.As for more powermetal, my favorite bands are:Sonata Arctica- Some tracks to look out for: Fullmoon, The Cage, My Selene and Die With Your Boots On (Iron Maiden cover.)Kamelot- Some tracks: The Haunting, Centre of the Universe, Forever, The Fourth LegacyIf you're into the funky videogame-like effects used by Dragonforce, try Machinae Supremacy (if you can get used to the guys voice [grin]) Their website is at http://www.machinaesupremacy.com. My favorites are Through The Looking Glass, Kings of the Scene and Player One.
