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.
Ultra Beatdown. Love that title. I guess that means they aren't changing the sound much, except to play even faster. Which works just fine for me.
And 300,000 units sold in the US? Amazing for a power metal band. We need to get Edguy on the next Guitar Hero.

The others were really similar, but that one change was damn near non-existent.
Can this band get any more unoriginal? Every song just seems to be recycled material from the previous one. And Ultra Beatdown? Come on guys.
These guys kicked major ass in concert the last time I saw 'em! Their CDs and videos are awesome, as well! Hail DragonForce!
