DragonForce Announce Re-issues

2009-11-18 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 52 Comments
Having canceled all of their 2010 tour dates in order to record a new album, British power metallers DragonForce will re-release their first two albums on February 22 via Spinefarm Records UK.

2003's Valley Of The Damned will be remixed, remastered and, along with 2004's Sonic Firestorm, re-issued with bonus tracks, live footage and behind-the-scenes interviews assembled by guitarist Herman Li.

The Valley Of The Damned re-issue will include the unreleased studio track 'When Dragons Rule' and a bonus DVD containing live footage of 'Valley Of The Damned' from Japan, behind-the-scenes film, studio clips and interviews from Japan, Denmark and the UK.

Sonic Firestorm will include the track 'Cry Of The Brave,' which was left off the original pressing, and more live footage from Japan ('Fury Of The Storm'), as well as newly-recorded interviews with the band members.

Worldwide release details are not yet known.

What's the difference between them re-releasing these and writing a "new" record? Oh yeah, artwork. Not going to lie, I personally enjoyed their live performance. I had heard bad things but they were solid and rather fun when I saw them like two years ago. Monotonous band but when I'm in the mood for them - which is a rare occasion - they are entertaining.

Idk, maybe people aren't criticizing Dragonforce for being sell-outs since they're only really a novelty act to begin with (and everyone I ever talk to about them think the same thing), but what else do you call it when a band cancels a tour for no real reason and then tries to cash in on something that doesn't require any actual work?

But so many people in the United States might not be aware of their previous records and availability is awfully limited for them. Cause you know it's not like torrents exist or anything.

Just saw them live...got free tickets. They sounded EXACTLY like their records. I saw them two years ago opening for KSE, and they weren't in sync...but most recently, they were spot on.

Whether you like that or not is up to personal opinion.

Remasters will obviously be way better than the Beatles remasters. If you listen carefully you can actually hear the bass!!! :O oh and some extra tremelo work that was previously burried in the mix!

tbh, i actually want to hear the re-issues. with all the layers that their music has, it will be interesting to hear how a modern take on it sounds.

Modern? Those albums were released only about 5 years ago or so.

Dragonforce is pretty much the most overrated band ever. I sit next to this kid in Physics class who thinks they're amazing because they were on guitar hero. I explained their wankery to me and he still says they are amazing cause they can play fast.

Reason for these releases = became popular only because of TTFAF/Guitar Hero. Which were released after their first albums.

There's a rather amusing youtube video that (in an obvious parody) tries to sell the albums based on their musical diversity, then plays samples of all their songs sounding the same.

So, let me get this straight...

Thrice loses their guitarist for a tour and THEY'RE STILL TOURING, but Dragonforce decides they need to record and cancel their entire tour?

This is what separates the men from the boys. Also, that UUUUBER fast riffage is obviously them compensating for their extremely small penises.
