DragonForce are an English power metal band formed in London, England in 1999. They are known for their twin guitar solos, speed, and epic vocals.
DragonForce's musical style includes:
* Emphasis on fast, twin-guitar harmonies (Kirk Hammett has called them "the fastest guitar players [he's] ever seen")
* Lyrics of a fantastical or epic nature
* Use of background choral singing throughout songs
* Generally optimistic and uplifting chorus sections (musically and lyrically)
* Video game influenced melodies and guitar noises
* Heavy usage of keyboard
Although the band take their musicianship seriously, they do not embody the themes in their music. In an interview with Metal Hammer, Herman Li has stated "Oh no, it's completely serious, we just have fun doing it...". DragonForce's influences are drawn from all kinds of metal, melodic rock, and in particular video games such as "Wonder Boy in Monster World", with lyrics comparable to themes present in fantasy games.
