Afterall, they are the pioneers of the post-music and post-speed genres.. Nobody hasn't heard of them. I hate to have to say something all elitist and everything...but exactly what did Dragonforce pioneer? -_- | ||

Kamelot deserves another mention because it hasn't come up enough in this thread, although they have a more vocalist centric style (though with Roy Khan doing your vocals you'd be dumb not to emphasize them). I'd suggest checking out the albums Fourth Legacy, Epica, and especially The Black Halo - the entire albums are so good it's difficult to recommend individual songs. Additionally, as far as Dragonforce goes, yes, a lot of the songs sound similar, but if you really want fast guitars and drums and don't care about a lot else, Dragonforce delivers in spades. TTFAF is really not one of their better songs; it's just well known because of Guitar Hero. Check out the entire Valley of the Damned album for a better primer on Dragonforce than TTFAF. | ||

About Dragonforce, my opinion is that once you've heard 1-2 of their songs, you've heard them all =P They seriously all sound the same =P Doesn't mean I'm not partial to Fury of the Storm and Soldiers of the Wasteland though... These are some songs, but I would recommend the entire discography of basically all these bands. Sonata Arctica - Eighth Commandment Nightwish - Poet and the Pendulum; there's a significant number of people who don't like Dark Passion Play, but it's actually my favorite Nightwish album, and I also like all of the one with Tarja. Blind Guardian - Valhalla Iron Maiden - Hallowed be Thy Name Dream Theater - Octavarium; haters gonna hate, I loved that album. Communic - Raven's Cry Epica - Reign to Surrender Kamelot - The Black Halo Symphony X - The Sacrifice Ho-hum. Power prog metal ftwl \m/ | ||

It is really depressing you guys.. why can't someone say "I like Dragonforce, give em a shot" without everyone saying "They are fucking trash." This is music, if it isn't his taste he won't listen. If it is however he will gain SO MUCH from it.. why snub him that opportunity with your nay-saying just because it didn't fit YOUR taste. most of us can agree that country music sucks right? Well guess what? For others that is like, the most harmonic beautiful sound ever.. gives them memories and feelings of joy. I don't like it at all.. but I certainly wouldn't waltz around telling everyone that likes it they are bad/retarded.  | ||

I listen to power metal AND i like DF. Am I powermetal enthusiast, nope. But I like the genre. And yes boesthius you could word it differently: And get different messages. On the 1 side you come off like an elitist douche (metal on this site is tainted because of the laarge number of people that are that way) OR you could sound helpful and be like "huh, well if you like them try this X I think they are better" I'm not going to crusade the matter since it'd be 1 versus 500 but I really think some of you should try and tone it down. I LOVE metal but almost never discuss it here because I am tired of getting judged for what I like musically. | ||
