Roots: "Extreme Power Metal" by Dragonforce

Welp. Dragonforce has the honor of being the first show I was attending to be canceled. First it was moved, then canceled.

All of this sucks, but that's the pandemic in which we live at present.

Honestly, it's been a very long time since I've really checked in on our international friends of Benetton Power Metal crusaders. There's been some member shake ups since when we last spoke, but in the end, Dragonforce remains the same.

They're the comfort food for the metal soul. It doesn't really seem like there's been any significant growth or change in the band, but who the  fuck cares?

Just crank those amps to 11 and melt my face off. 

Dragonforce Hitting The Road This Week

Extreme power metal unit DRAGONFORCE will kick off their anticipated US headlining tour this week! Slated to commence on March 5th in Mesa, Arizona, the journey winds its way through over two dozen cities upon its conclusion March 21st in Brooklyn, New York. 

Support will be provided by Unleash The Archers and Visions Of Atlantis.

The journey will see Alicia Vigil (Vigil Of War) handling bass and backing vocals for the band while Aquiles Priester (Angra, Tony MacAlpine) will temporarily take over drum duties for Gee Anzalone, who was recently hospitalized for Myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle. 

Comments guitarist Herman, "We will miss our brother Gee on the upcoming US tour, but health is most important. We wish Gee a speedy recovery and we know he will be back on tour with us soon. We want to thank our friend Aquiles for stepping up and helping us out on short notice."

DRAGONFORCE will be streaming their tour live on twitch.tv/hermanli. Livestreams will include performances, backstage footage, and special guest appearances.
