Recommended Album:
Inhuman Rampage
This album has some fantastic guitar work by Herman Li and Sam Totman. Dragonforce plays power metal a little faster and a little more intensely than your average band and call their style "extreme power metal." Vocalist Z.P. Theart has a voice that's perfect for the genre. It's powerful and soaring with a lot of range and emotion.
