It is with great regret that DragonForce announce a parting of the ways with singer ZP Theart. This is due to insurmountable differences of musical opinion but the rest of the band sincerely wishes ZP great success with his future projects.

They had an audition page up but it looks like it got taken down. Maybe they got over their insurmountable differences in a few minutes.

All the new singer has to do is say "flames, war, ice, fire, wind, battle, carry on, fight" over and over again.

I couldn't even imagine what their arguments were about:

Herman: All the lyrics you write are about dragons and elemental forces!

ZP: Well the band name is DragonForce...

Herman: Uhhhh *really fast guitar solo* I can't hear you! I can't hear you!

They should just become a instrumental band, listen to some Blotted Science, take notes, throw in some of their own flare, and make a record...

Yes it would, but you know they won't choose a decent singer. Herman Li will have to approve them, and Herman Li is one of the biggest idiots in the music industry. I am not kidding, I've seen him in interviews and he is an absolute retard.
