    This is power metal, characterized by fast, technical guitars, basses and drums with very melodic riffs. And of course a great voice by the singers. Not my favorite metal genre, but I can appreciate the virtuosity that this genre brings.
    Power metal was initiated in the late 80s by bands like Helloween and others.

      Also the lyrics are often of an epic nature. Ascending to the heavens, unleashing the hounds of hell, victory in battle, honorable death in battle, being strong, blah blah blah... also not just Helloween but a big chunk of the NWOBHM including Iron Maiden and to a greater degree Judas Priest kind of gave birth to this genre, or at least the prototype, but this is next-level power metal. Turned up to 11.

      As someone who grew up on Hair/Glam Metal, Thrash Metal and what we now call Traditional Metal in the 80s, I have actually grown to prefer Power Metal over the others. As the double bass drum with the galloping rhythm and stronger power chords gets my attention more. However, that's not to say I don't like Thrash or Traditional Metal anymore, because I do, it's just that I find that Power Metal has a bit more of that Classical Music element in Metal than other genres. Because you know, Metal is really just a blend of Classical Music and The Blues, right?

    • @WhatDayIsItTrumpDay
      @WhatDayIsItTrumpDay 2 роки тому +3

      @@glaframb Speed Metal is something you could apply to any genre of Metal that doesn't really fit into other genres. Megadeth for example was always co sidereal to be a Thrash Metal band, but if you listen to the structure of the riffs, they don't really have that Chug effect that Thrash is known for. Furthermore, Megadeth is clearly not Power Metal, for the lack of the galloping drum and bass lines, and higher pitched vocals, so it could and really should be characterized as Speed Metal because it's fast (for the most part) and has rough vocals. DragonForce is almost a different animal altogether. They're either Extreme Speed Metal or Extreme Power Metal. I'd go with the latter, because their song structure and themes are very obviously Power Metal, but played at such Speed and technicality that you almost have to apply the Extreme pejorative to it.

    This came out in 2006 and is generally categorized as power metal or speed metal. There are so many sub genres of metal now it's mind-blowing.
    Keep in mind, that really fast kick (bass) drum pattern uses a paddle apparatus that allows you to use both your left and right foot to operate the pedal on the kick drum, rather than just your right foot only traditionally. At one point, Lamb of God set a speed record on the kick drum of 420 beats per minute (bpm), which is about 7 beats per second.

      I would agree with Speed Metal. I put them in the same category as bands like Annihilator, Artillery, Blaze Bayley, Ygnwie Malmsteen and I would argue 3 Inches of Blood with at least half of their songs (Men of Fortune being a great example). It's cleaner, lacking the crunchy/dirty sound of Thrash, and doesn't rely very much on, if at all, the galloping, triplet feel for speed. Power Metal, in my opinion goes all in on a fantasy sound and feel. Great example of that would be: Dragonland, Tyr, and Rhapsody/Rhapsody of Fire. That's MY definition and I get other's may have other personal definitions. I'm just explaining where I'm coming from and where my lines are.

    As others have mentioned, DragonForce is power metal. Power metal usually has soaring vocals and guitars, and there's usually an epicness to the music/story being told. There's also a lot of double-base or beats that seem to hop through the song and work over 4 or 8 beats. Thrash metal is most often a lot crunchier (often palming the strings on the guitars), the singing still has notes but the growls are still there (as opposed to false-chord growls like Arch Enemy). There will be a lot more blast beats and often the drums either keep a basic rhythm with a lot of quick fills (such as Lars in Metallica) or they sound more like a machine gun firing (See, for instance, Divine Heresy on their song Facebreaker from the album "Bringer of Plagues."

    I would classify them as "Speed Metal". Speed Metal was a record label created off shoot of Thrash, which Megadeth promoted themselves as in their early career. Another band that I can remember that fell under this genre was a band called Riot. While not as fast as Dragonforce, they did have faster tempos and the more operatic style vocals.

    What’s amazing with this song isn’t the speed and technicality, though those are clearly impressive. What is do amazing is that they all hold the tempo so steady. I would think there would be an urge to either speed up or slow down with everything going on. I agree with another commenter; seek out the full version.

    Herman Li and Sam are prime examples of understanding guitar theory and taking the instrument to the extreme. Herman has a UA-cam channel and it is something to watch how he picks up a riff so easily.

    I think Lex got more out of this one than Brad did. I was surprised neither one of you mentioned the drummer. Both the guitarists demonstrate amazing reflexive speed and accuracy. Most guitarists can't play even the wrong notes that fast. The guitar duet in this song reminds me of the guitar duet at the end of Hotel California by the Eagles; except on steroids. Tina S does an interesting cover of the guitar parts from this song, where she plays both the guitar parts. Herman Li of Dragonforce posted a very positive reaction video about her playing. You guys are great by the way.

    This song came out around 2005. Power metal. Bands like Rhapsody of fire, unleash the archers, blind guardian, beast in black, stratovarius, gloryhammer etc. are considered power metal. They can have elements of classic heavy metal as well. Imo classic heavy metal bands like Dio, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Manowar, Yngwie Malmsteen influenced the genre that became power metal.

    Also, Dragonforce have done some very 80's sounding songs. One of which was advertised as this video went off. If you want some really good melodic metal check out "Strangers" by them. I would also recommend "Hero's of our time" which was nominated for a grammy award for best metal performance.

    True story:
    This song gained popularity on Guitar Hero as the most difficult song - obviously.
    My wife of 12 years now is a 4th generation musician here in Detroit. The 1st time I went to her parents house when we were dating, I heard this song's guitar solo BLASTING from the upstairs.
    Me: "Who's that upstairs?"
    Wifey: "That's my 16 year old little bro. "
    Me: *not realizing what level of musicians I was dealing with yet
    "Oh cool. So the little guy likes guitar hero?"
    Wifey: "That's him! Don't ever say guitar hero in this house or he'll kill you."
    TL/DR: My GF's lil bro was shredding this song on his guitar upstairs and i thought he was playing guitar hero.

I would describe Dragon force as a thrash version of Melodic Rock but with higher notes and more of a verse chorus song construction, if that makes sense.

    Hi guys.
    The looks on your faces made me chuckle quite a bit. 😁
    As much as I know a lot of this didn't make sense to you, I'm going to request a reaction to a cover of this song.
    The artist is Tina Setkic, better known as Tina S.
    She uploaded this cover in 2016, she was 17 years old.
    She very suddenly disappeared from the public eye in 2017 after sharing her cover of Ludwig Van Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata (3rd Movement) on her UA-cam channel.
    She has also covered Van Halen, Steve Vai, Megadeth, Metallica, Vinny Moore, and many more.
    And her reason for covering such intense and complex songs?
    "Because they're difficult to play." - Tina S.-
    There are many guesses as to why she disappeared.
    From, "She took a break to go to college" to even suggesting she died. 😬
    Guitar player Herman Li, from DragonForce did a livestream where he reacted to this cover and was completely blown away stating that this may very well be the best cover of this song out there.
    From loss for words, to swearing, he couldn't believe this young girl is the new record holder for the best cover of "Through the Fire and Flames".
    I hope to see this reaction, I know Lex is going to enjoy it and I say that because I know guitar is her thing. 👍
    ua-cam.com/video/XpASSx0ecTU/v-deo.html
    Thank you for the video, reaction and comments. Stay safe and stay blessed.

    DragonForce is a SPEED METAL band. Speed Metal is kinda like Thrash Metal (like Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax were back in the early 80's), but focuses way more on the speed component than the heavy aspect of it (but as a metal subgenre, is still heavy). For reference, Pantera was considered "Groove Metal" (which is much more describable as "headbanging metal").
