Dragonforce live at the MEN Arena
Pride Of Manchester's Pick of the Month
DRAGONFORCE (metal) listen / buy cd's|listen / download
Manchester Academy 1 - 26th September
Technically proficient British metal act, Dragonforce, have been selling out arena's across the country despite never having a UK Top 40 album. They stand out from the pack with their relentlessly brutal attack of metal and melodies, with vocals reminiscent of a 1980's perm-metal act. Offering a nice middle ground between soft rock and death metal, this is swords and sorcery power metal at its best!
