DRAGONFORCE PREPARES THE WORLD FOR AN ULTRA BEATDOWN
New York, NY: Attention heavy metal warriors and guitar heroes across
the land. DragonForce are pleased to announce Ultra Beatdown as the
title of their forthcoming new album for Roadrunner Records, due in
stores on August 26.
Ultra Beatdown is an epic, sweeping, grand collection of infectious
guitar anthems that’ll inspire all who listen to either pump their fists
in the air or pick up a guitar, whether it be real or virtual.
DragonForce’s single from 2006’s Inhuman Rampage, “Through The Fire and
Flames,” exploded on the public beyond the metal world thanks to its
appearance on the massively popular guitar simulator game. The single
has been RIAA certified Gold in the US, with the album scanning over
300,000 copies (and counting) to date.
The track listing for Ultra Beatdown is as follows:
1. Heroes of Our Time
2. The Fire Still Burns
3. Reasons to Live
4. Scars of Yesterday
5. Heartbreak Armageddon
6. The Last Journey Home
7. Inside the Winter Storm
8. The Warrior Inside
DragonForce will spend the summer as a main stage attraction on the
inaugural Rockstar Energy Mayhem tour, which features
labelmates/headliners Slipknot, as well as Disturbed, Machine Head,
Mastodon, and Airbourne, to name a few. DragonForce will undoubtedly
tear up the stage with their blend of guitar acrobatics, traded off by
the virtuosos known as Herman Li and Sam Totman, as well as the soaring,
room-filling vocals of ZP Theart. Bassist Fredric Leclerq and drummer
Dave Mackintosh continue to fortify the band’s rhythmic backbone, while
Vadim Pruzhanov laces the band’s power sound with keys.
May the “Force” be with you this summer.
