Dragonforce Redefines Epic (Again) this FALL

DRAGONFORCE RETURN FOR ANOTHER ROUND

EMBARK ON A MONTH-LONG HEADLINING

TOUR IN EARLY FALL



SONATA ARCTICA, TAKING DAWN SUPPORT



New York, NY: DragonForce will be back to administer another ‘Ultra Beatdown’ upon American venues. The band will embark on a month-long, headlining tour this Fall, which kicks off on September 18 in Hollywood and runs through October 11 in Philadelphia. This will probably be the band’s final US tour in support of their most recent album, Ultra Beatdown.



Sonata Arctica, as well as DragonForce labelmates Taking Dawn, will serve as support. The band’s latest power-riff fueled opus, Ultra Beatdown, was unleashed upon the world last August and the momentum around the band is still going strong.



Critical praise was heaped upon the record when it was released. Here’s what critics had to say about Ultra Beatdown.



“With its dedication to speed, fantasy, and heart-warming vocal harmonies, Ultra Beatdown is sure to please more than just guitar geeks and Final Fantasy nerds.” –DRUM!



“No one can fuck with DragonForce…” –Decibel



“Exultant and diverse.” --Revolver



“Your fingers may blister just listening to these guys” –MSN Music



“Everything is bigger and better…” –Guitar World



“Beatdown beats anything from the Reagan years for two simple reasons: Herman Li and Sam Totman, whose twin guitar solos are so incredibly fast, they sound like Yngwie Malmsteem on a serious meth binge while being processed through a military super computer.” –Las Vegas City Life

“One listen to the powerful a capella opening of ‘The Fire Still Burns’ will instantly make your hair grow down to your ass and your Bon Jovi records will mysteriously find their way into the garbage.” –Alternative Press
