DragonForce Announce North American, UK, and European Tour Dates
Big news today from DragonForce, the 5-hour Energy of metal: the band has completed work on their eighth studio album. Produced by Damien Rainaud (Fear Factory, Once Human), the still-unnamed record will be released sometime before the end of the year, and a press release assures we can expect to hear a single soon. Guitarist Herman Li even has some of the studio sessions now available for streaming on his Twitch channel.
