Biography

London, UK based DRAGONFORCE is powered by the twin guitar assaults of Herman Li (born in Hong Kong) and Sam Totman (English), singer ZP Theart (South African), Vadim Pruzhanov (Ukrainian) on keyboards, plus two more Brits in bassist Adrian Lambert and drummer David Mackintosh. The sound of the group is a rare combination of various metal, hard rock styles and video games music, although the sonic fury they conjure up in no way hides their greatest strength....songwriting ability. The release of their debut album Valley Of The Damned in 2003 saw the group tour Europe, South East Asia and the Far East. A swift follow-up, Sonic Firestorm , was issued in the spring of 2004; buoyed by massive critical acclaim throughout the rock press, its release saw the band launch into a sustained period of activity that included a seven weeks European tour with WASP, and a first full UK headlining tour that saw most venues sold out.

DRAGONFORCE has just completed a summer schedule that saw the band playing several of mainland Europe's largest rock festivals, as well as a batch of stadium shows as special guests of Iron Maiden.

Nominated for the 'Best UK Band' category but losing out to Lost Prophets, DRAGONFORCE six stringer Herman Li went one better in winning the inaugural 'Best Shredder – Young Guitarist' award at the Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards 2005.

In September they embark on their latest UK tour, which was set up with the intention of including a number of smaller, out of the way towns and venues. Incorporating a weekly London residency at The Barfly in Camden for what has been dubbed the 'Meet The Sonic Firestorm' tour.

DragonForce will record their third album later this year for release in early 2006.
