London based metal superstars Dragonforce have revealed details of their forthcoming new album. Entitled 'The Power Within', the ten track monster is the bands fifth studio album, and first with new singer Marc Hudson in the fold.
DragonForce guitarist Herman Li said, "The last two years have been the most fun we ever had making an album. Through writing, jamming and touring together, we have built this incredible energy and it has been fully captured on the new album.
"This time around we’ve really brought our metal side to the surface and made some of the best music of our career.
"From the fastest song we’ve ever recorded to the slower songs, and some things you would never expect from us, this is by far the most diverse DragonForce album yet."
'The Power Within' will be released in the UK on April 15th via the band’s own Electric Generation Recordings, distributed by Essential Music.
Li added, "This is an exciting new era for DragonForce with Marc joining the band, so we figured this was an ideal time to take full control of our own destiny and establish our own record label for Europe. It’s all hands on deck running it, but a great buzz"!
