Album Review
DragonForce – “The Power Within”
Two years after the departure of vocalist ZP Theart, DragonForce return and release their new album The Power Within via Roadrunner Records. Taking over vocal duties is Marc Hudson, who basically sounds identicle to ZP save for the fact that his pitch isn’t as high. Even his vocal lines are very similar to what we’ve heard from past DF albums. So not too much vocal change for those worried fans.

Again the band rips out uber-fast and super-human instrumentals with a level of complexity that continues to astound. The predominant focus is once more on the guitars of Herman Li and Sam Totman, both of whom shred and tap all over their fret boards with reckless abandon. The Power Within is pretty much just “another” solid DragonForce album, but with a different vocalist. If one liked past DF releases, then this one too should be right up your alley.
