Rock.

So I know I am WAY behind the ball on this one, but I have recently been introduced to a band called Dragonforce. I'd heard one of their songs "Through the Fire and Flames" on Guitar Hero III and really liked it, but had since put them out of my mind. It wasn't until I heard "Heroes of Our Time" from the band's new album Ultra Beatdown that I really began to take new interest.

It's tough to classify this band within the metal genre. Some say "speed metal" others say "hair band revisited." I think of it as DIO and Journey having non-ugly rock children together, or a really cool 80's metal song played as if everyone in the band was rushing the song so they could go pee.

With album covers like this, how can you NOT love them?? Prepare your eyeballs for an overdose of awesome:






Check out a video here. This video is everything an 80's metal video SHOULD have been.
