You can’t call yourself extreme with a GD Celine Dion cover.

They did a good job aging the look of the vid. Looks like it's right from the 90s

Until checking out this song I hadn't listened to these guys in about a decade. Looks like they are still releasing slights variations on Sonic Firestorm.

I hate when bands name their album after whatever genre they play. I know Dragonforce has always been cheese, but this is some next level shit, even for them.

RIP

Saw them on their last US tour and it was a nice swansong

there's a fine line between enjoyably corny and plain idiotic and this is way, way past it.

Man they're still doing this huh? And I guess it's STILL easy to pander to the internet with lame, trite 80's vibe? Gonna puke the next time a 15 year old sees neon and unrionically types "AESTHETIC" or "OUTRUN".

Yiiiikes.

I don’t really listen to this band that much but I love them because they don’t pretend to be anything other than what they are: a goofy, cheesy, nostalgia fueled power metal band. Anyone who spends their time making fun of them for being exactly what they want to be is a dork.

I find these guys at the least pretty fun, especially the last two albums. Sounds overly silly but hey they have fun

Power Within - Reaching Into Infinity was a nice resurgence for them, but this makes me wish they'd stop while they're still on a high note.

On the other hand...I need to hear "Cosmic Power of the Infinite Shred Machine"

Damn, this thing sounded decent until the chorus devolved into their typical Dragonforce-ness. Will definitely check this out though, these guys are harmless fun

Changing vocalists brought this band all the way to zero and they haven’t even glanced upward since. hard rip

Didn't realise it was a new vocalist, probably how it hit me so hard that the guy sucks total
ass.

"I hate when bands name their album after whatever genre they play."

Agreed in every instance I can think of other than Darkthrone's 'Unholy Black Metal'

I'm glad they're still using Dragonforce-y catchphrases like "...STAND BEFORE THE WORLD!"

just skip to the halfway point and there's some fun wanky stuff in this
otherwise it's overstuffed and boring, and Marc's vocals sound especially squeaky

Haven't they played this one already?
They all sound the same - structure, chorus, ridiculous solo and terrible singer.
Awful.

I haven't even listened to it and I know what it will sound like. All they will ever have is when "through the fire and flames " went viral on like AOL back in the day because of the solo lol. I mean good for them for lasting this long, but unless you're a hardcore fan, no one really cares lol The album title is pretty dope though

You still gotta enjoy it for embracing the extreme corniness. That's probably my favorite part about this whole band even though I don't listen to them
