  • I LOVE THIS BAND

    

  • You know, I'm a huge death and thrash metal fan, but there's something about power metal that is just fucking awesome. It makes me feel like some fucking fantasy warrior about to kill a bunch of shit, it's so fucking epic and brqazenly cheesy. Death and thrash may be heavy, but they can't hope to be as epic as a good power metal tune.

  • Awesome powermetal track!

  • Now this is music!

  • win

    

  • I really want to know how they get that "crying" tone on guitar at 4:05

  • @MTBowen11191993 One way is called an artificial harmonic, if you didn't know that. They sound similar to the thing in the song but I thing that is actually an effects pedal though. Maybe a wah? Not %100 sure but you can just research that stuff and most likely find what you want.

  • @MrSpartan341 I actually got a chance to use a Wah-wah pedal recently and found the effect. As you bend the string up, you open up the wah. It's really neat to mess with in minor keys.

  • Sam Totman was in powerquest. so who would you choose?

  • Dragonland > Dragonforce. Who would you pick? Dragonland, who are very creative and productive with theire music. Sound good live, probably sound exactly like their albums live. Use awesome melodies. The use of the orchestral sound yet very powerful. Or Dragonforce, who suck live. very repetative with their songs. no feeling in their music or lyrics. yes, they use to be good but you gotta admit that they dont put enough feeling and effort in their music. I respect Dragonforce only because

  • @xDiego8390x i would choose dragonland but to say df sucks is ignorant. they havent sucked since 07. anything past that they are actually one of the better live bands out there with a much higher stage production level and presence than dragonland. i saw them both in 07 and 09 and the difference in their performance was amazing.

  • @EnslaveTheEmos lol... you sir, must be american.

    DF one of the better live bands out there? You must have seen pretty few bands live... :P

  • @HyrkanianBlade you must be ignorant, and still think 2007 grasspop is the Df im talking about. there is a lot more to being a good live band than just playing well, you need to be just as good performers as you are musicians, and few bands rival the show that DF can put on.

    are they the best musicians? of course not, do they put on an amazing show? absolutely.

    ive seen more than enough shows in more than enough genres to know they do a high end performance.

  • @EnslaveTheEmos the most important part of the show is the actual music. They are almost sub-par in that, making them a mediocre live band at best. 

  • @HyrkanianBlade ya, you still think im talking about 2007 grasspop df. go to a show and then tell me they are sub par players now. they have been having spot on shows since 2009, that was the year of change they had, watch their documentary show, they talk all about it.

    i will say the new singer's voice does not work for zp's songs at all, and it doesnt sound good now when they play old stuff, the voices are too different. the new tracks they make around his vocal range are great though.

  • Excellent song !

    Did I read right that they are releasing a new album sometime this year?

  • @Hatchiroo You're absolutely right. In September this year, they are supposed to release a new album. "The Return" is it called.

  • Comment removed

  • @Arwenbrand There's no set release date. The album was supposed to be released september 2 years ago, but they only just got signed again so there's no way to know what they're going to do or when it's coming out. (Could be very soon. They go into the studio May 31st)

  • this is the best Album from Dragonland Epic Power Speed Melodie everything i Love it greetings from germany

  • That's just me or this song sounds like Stratovarius? O_O

    I'm saying it because the voice sounds such Timmo Kotipelto...

    Anyway, this band is great, good power metal !!

  • @AnEndlessPain what kind of fucking drugs are u on?

  • @MultiMetalWar Lol just enjoy the song dude, ignore my comment.

  • @AnEndlessPain I get what you mean. The beginning up to about 30 seconds sounds very Stratovarius-ey.

    Still, awesome song and band all the same :D

  • @Hatchiroo Yeah I know, this band is really cool.

  • The Astronomy album from these guys if phenomenal. I'm still trying to decide if I like these other albums.

  • Dragonland RULEZ!!!!!!!!! 

  • I FUCKING LOVE THIS BAND!

  • @mathijsjuh are u crazy ??? in most of bands in power metal are the guitars AND VOCALS the best. I am not telling that drums or bass are shit they are pretty good in this. so stop writing shit and just enjoy music and vocals.

  • @mathijsjuh :O dude, every power metal song needs a high pitched powerfull and melodic voice, any other and its just not power metal at all.

  • Perfect Band and Perfect Disc (L)

    greating from Chile.

  • in with sichari. enjoy the music or stfu and gtfo. this is great music. dragonland is fantastic

  • Now that I think about it, I only heard of this band because some retard put up some video called Dragonforce: Holy War.....

  • I agree with enslavetheemos... if it wasn't for DF's Sonic Firestorm I would have never listened to any song that was classified under 'metal'... perhaps not the best power metal band but i owe them grattiude all the same...

    btw. v nice song.. i'm listening to more of this band.

  • I must say once again .. NO Power Metal Dragonland ago, makes "Mistic Metal!"

  • dragonforce sucks dragoland rulez

  • dont say that, if it wasnt for dragonforce getting powermetal popular overhere in america, i would have never discovered dragonland or much of scandinavian metal.

    i owe DF that muh for bringing me to the light.

  • @EnslaveTheEmos if I say not bad but his songs tokan false Track anyone who knows knows that are altered but if you compare with dragonforce dragonnland there a difference in the professional with the false and say dragonforce sounds of video games but if that's what the nintendocore

  • ya dragonforce is a very unique band.

    they blend powermetal with with videogame and electronic stuff.

    i still love them and have seen them live 3 times, but i do enjoy the more powerful and epic feel of straight powermetal.

    it has a far more orchistral sound and deeper lyrics.

    but i still love my DF

  • but when playing live and never will be making changes to their songs in studio

  • ditto

  • Same for me. The first time I head TTFAF, I fell in love with it. I was looking up DF on here, and in the comments, I discovered Rhapsody Of fire, then this, then spellblast, elvenking, falkenbach, ensiferum, all that good stuff. Without dragonforce, I might have never liked music until I somehow saw this stuff.

  • @penguinofhell ya as a fan of fantasy genre movies (lord of the rings is my favorite ever) i never knew a genre based around that stuff existed.

    then i heard the musical style of DF and said holy shit i love the fast pased heavy hitting epic chorus stye of this stuff. then i look into it more to find out theres epic metal, viking metal, neo classical, fantasy stuff, everything amazing.

  • @penguinofhell Me too!

  • @EnslaveTheEmos Did you mean America or just U.S.????.

  • @antiregayton1 if you just say America and dont specify north or south America its safe to say they mean US. but im pretty sure a lot of canadians may have had a similar feeling, and south america has hardly any metal coming out of it. DF was the first of the genre to really penetrate over here and get a lot of us looking more into the genre to discover all the greatness it has.

  • @EnslaveTheEmos America is a continent!, and DragonForce penetrated what??, "America"?.

  • @EnslaveTheEmos no shit its a continent, its a matter of reference. and yes, DF penetrated America. power metal is an unknown genre here, but everyone knows DF, because of guitar hero . if i play a song that was made 8 years before a DF song, everyone will say "hey, sounds like DF". they dont know what the genre is, they think DF is it.

    DF is only the gateway for americans to discovery powermetal through. since they tour here often while many scandinavian groups dont

  • @EnslaveTheEmos Showing you the light.

  • agreed :).This bands actually more Epic

  • Jonas Heidgert is my favorite singer of all time and believe me i know a shitload about music!!! his voice is just perfect and he is my main vocal influence!!!!!

  • Dragonforce had very bad times in their Inhuman Rampage album tour. the technicain did NOTHING there guitars were untuned, and the members could not even hear themselves.

    youtube grasspop 2009 to see how good they are.

    but thats a different matter. now, lest just talk about dragonland

    DRAGONLAND PWNS!!!!!!!

    btw, Elvenking, Falkenbach, and Rhapsody RULE! not as much as these people though.

  • this song is an OWNAGE!

    this is the reason why i love power metal.. the fantasy lyrics...

    through the elven woods and dwarven mines is a bit better song than this 1i think

  • Hey guys! Shadow of the Mithril Mountains is on their myspace! New song!  OMG! Sequel?! Part of the story?! New Album!!!! OrGaSm!!

  • yes! new album!

    "The return" be called =D!!!!!

    im waiting

  • ok people, what the fuck is up with you? Why is it that on EVERY power metal song there is people bashing Dragonforce?

    THIS IS DRAGONLAND! NOT DRAGONFORCE!

    Both are good bands, even if you do hate Dragonforce because they are famous, but for fucks sake pay attention to the music instead of bashing them on unrelated videos!

  • Dragonland > Dragonforce. By the way.

  • No. While yes Dragonland is good, DragonForce has more experiance. Though they are dieing fast. But i disagree with your statement.

  • I respect your opinion, but no matters the years that Dragonfoces has playing; the think is the talent, and Dragonland has more talent: The concerts sounds better than the album records. Dragonforce cheats at the studio, thats why they don't sound good at the concerts. But thats a choice for tastes on music.

  • True enough, i haven't heard these guys play live yet, And both concerts i went to for DragonForce Herman thought he was too good to practise and Sam showed up drunk saying "Fuck you all" at the end of it. The bar is set so fucking low for these guys to be better its not funny. But DragonForce is bigger and more well known

  • dragonforce plays very fast and cool but their songs havent got as good feeling as Dragonland has!

  • Ah very true. They don't quite have the ability to tell a tale the way Dragonland does.

  • dragonforce is a very unique band.

    its a mix of powermetal and electronica and video game metal.

    they have an awsome sound, but its more instrumental and effect based than like straight powermetal groups who have that epic feel and powerfull lyrics.

    both are amazing i say.

  • ha! that's funny.

  • esta mas perro iron mask

  • Sounds like Rhapsody :D

  • Yeah, i could see them doing a successful cover of an RoF song.

  • Jonas Heidgert's vocals is really different than rhapsody's singer...

    its whether like hammerfall's singer

  • Dragonland has the spirit and the idea. Every album is about something bigger than a particular thing.Holy war is about dragons, glory, freedom,faith,homeland, but actually it could be interpretated as something different. It opens your imagination.For example Manowar is great but they are telling a story and there is no space for imagination.I think this is what makes the good powermetal when it gives you the basic idea without much details (about someone and something).

  • dragonlands first two albums are about a series of fantasy books about dragons or somethin

  • Why is people writing crappy stuff in here anyway? Enjoy the music instead of writing about something else, this isnt a forum. If u dont like it, then leave it.

  • This song is the best from DragonLand

  • Please stop comparing Dragonland to Dragonforce, yes they both play Power Metal and they are both awesome, but we are here to listen to Dragonland, go to a Dragonforce video to talk about Dragonforce.

    This is my fav song by Dragonland, awesome

  • Perfectly Said

    Both Are Amazing But Since We're Here On A Dragonland Vid....Talk About Dragonland

  • I think Dragonland is way better than Dragonforce, but this is just my opinion. All of Dragonforce's songs sound the same and they can't play live. They are ok...Somewhat, but again this is just my opinion so don't get mad please. Power metal rules btw!!

  • Too bad, I'm infuriated! lol j.k but still....I'm coming for you..,

  • I Respect Your Opinion But I Would Like You To Know That Dragonforce Can play Very Well Live Now

    If You Want Proof Look Up Dragonforce Belfast

  • what does it matter? dragonforce are posers and unnoriginal morons

  • no. they suck.

  • Lets not bicker about Dragon Force and DragonLand. thats not what we came here to do. we came here to listen to some great music and dis rap and everything else :D

  • yup

    great music

    screw rap it sucks

    DrizztDoUrden1234567

    and i agree completely

    if you are going to argue

    argue over how much rap sucks

    and try to out do one another :D

  • man rap sucks so badly there r no words how crapy it is

  • i heard some "r&b" today or somthing like that. now im not one for swearing by the only words i could think of were "fucking pathetic" it was soo crap. amen to your comment

  • this is epic

  • shhh it's o.k, we have metal, and your not listening to it!! stops the hate and grab a pick and put out good metals, cuz rap is taking over, and metal sinks into darkness. harness this hate and bring forth a jewel of epic proportions to send rap into space for eternity!!

  • not into space send rap back to hell or africa

  • africa? wtf

  • this is music

  • i love that part from 3:08 - 3:30 so much

  • dragonforce= crap dragonland = good music

  • I like both to be honest. But maybe thatÄs because I know dragonforce sicne about 3 years, where they only had 2 albums, didnt repeat themselves and did not pose that much around. I think I also know dragonland since about 3 years, but I forgot them again, unfortunately, but now I know them again and they fucking rule ;)

  • How is DragonForce gay? I used to listen and still d ot othere original album " Valley of the Damned" The rest arn't bad. I only dislike there new album, it';s to tech.

  • Personally I think they both have high points, and should be seen as allies and not enemies. Dragonland has a much better singer than Dragonforce, while Dragonforce has much better Guitar solos, while Dragonland has near none at all, they both perform live, and therefore I think their skills can be vouched for....

  • Except Dragonforce can't play their solos.

    ProTools plays them for them.

    Dragonland is much better.

  • You have no room to talk.

    Mainly because Linkin Park is shit.

  • i agree man

  • @gunnarisme linkin park sucks its a crappy hard beat metal band and yet so over rated they aren't even considered rock in any metal heads eyes

  • man i agree linken park a peic of mother fuckins shit no one wants to by there crapy ass albums

  • sorry but i disagree olof has done alot of guitar solos dude

  • Olof is better than both herman and sam...obviously xD

  • i agree

  • dragonland is way better, i mena dragonforce is ok, i really like it but its like comparing hammerfall with blind guardian.

    Hammerfall has great songs, with great riffings, but blind g has so much more.

    U can like either one, the things its blind g composal of songs its much depper than just a riff, and a double bass dumming.

    i love hammerfall btw.

  • jehaa godlike guitar :P

  • crappy sound quality

  • Why is everybody discussing about Dragonforce and Dragonland??? Both bands play with similar styles, but they still have their own ones

  • Why is everybody talking about f*cking Faggotforce here?? Just because their name is quite similar to Dragonlands'??

    Dragonforce sucks, Dragonland does not.

  • Introduction to the series of stories told by Dragonland's music, such as Beethoven's nightmare and Cassiopeia.

    So inspiring and full of life, Bursting with sound and thought!

    I enjoy this music so much, I cannot fathom who wouldn't.

  • wenawena

    viva el power methal

  • i love this song

  • ooo i like dragonland and dragonforce they both are awsome bands a thousand points of light is a kick ass song and so is soliders of the wasteland

  • Well b0rk your shank

  • Very Good song!!! Metal forever

  • Great great great!

  • good stuff

  • Dragonforce just fucking sucks. Go ahead and argue but the battle ends here, basically if you enjoy dragonforce your opinion on music doesnt count lol. Youre just disqualified for being so stupid. I love power metal, dragonforce is NOT real powermetal. On with galneryus, sonata arctica, dragonland, and all other real metal bands.

  • DragonForce doesn't "fucking suck," and they are real power metal, but extreme power metal, so shut up. Just because you don't like them, and Inhuman Rampage was a huge fucking let-down doesn't mean they suck. They actually have skill, compared to almost ALL of the bands in the main-stream these days. Study your facts, ass.

  • i'd respond with something witty but you just called dragonforce "extreme power metal" any insult i could possibly think of would pail in comparison to that. lol, whyd you put fucking suck in quotes? what are you seven lol

  • I call it extreme, because a lot of the power metal (I listen too at least) is like DragonLand and Edguy, and they're not that fast. And the reason I put it in quotes was to put an emphasis.

  • I do agree though, DragonForce is 10000X better than any mainstream musician these days.

  • Alright, I'm down with this statement.

  • Agreed but there's still much better metal out there XD

  • dragonforce is fake. they record there stuff regular speed, speed it up with software, then get on stage and get drunk so they have an excuse for not being able to play what's on their cd's. plus all there music sounds the same.

  • why is it so important that it's "real"? why can't you just enjoy the music?

  • I agree, it makes no difference whatsoever to me but you get some isiots like whoaitsGate who have no livs so all they do is bitch

  • (continue) a studio can carry notes, and speed up sounds. so blowing yer fricking minds with pots and pans...well unimpressive if u can't preform.

    and if u can't do it with all the variables, then don't try.

    oh before i forget...hurry to true metal

  • why do you all hate dragonforce? They are great. The skill that is needed by the guitarist to stay together and weave together their playing is spectacular. Their drummer is absolutly amazing. and so what if they cant play live? If you dont wanna listeb to a live recording of a song, then dont. And you dont have to like them. But u cant be childish enough not to regonize their genre as power and speed metal. And power is questionable, but speed is what they are known for. But i like DL too o.O

  • Dragonforce is good but WAYYYY to overrated...

  • dont compare? even tho they both do neoclassical riffs? even tho they're both "swords and sourcery" music? and besides the point, this is a DRAGONLAND song, so if your just gona talk about dragonforce and there "greatness" go to someoe who cares. dragonland rules.

  • i wish my recording of this didn't have the breaks in it where they start/stop the song when they are recording it in the studio =( it would be wicked awesome.

  • DON'T fucking compare Dragonforce with Dragonland. They're different. Dragonforce is Speedmetal, Dragonland Melodic Powermetal. The only Thing thats similar is the Bandname.

  • Dragonforce doesnt deserve to be called Power metal. if anything, and this is being leinent, they're speed metal. which of you lads are with me?

  • Have you seen dragonforce live?? ...they suck BADLY. and the only reason they can pull off the change of tones is all the damn petals he has to use.... Dragonland is by and far, MUCH better

  • ey lads. Imagin playing trying to play the million or so notes that there are in dragonforce song infront of a screaming crowd with pyrotechniques going off around you. im willing to bet everyone i own that you would blow your wad all over the place trying to do so

  • dragonforce are sweet but axenstar are better

  • Dragonforce is for kids sorry

  • hahaha what do you say dragonforce has really the best powermetal songs for all of time

    there can all give up

  • dragonland is by far greater than dragonforce

  • dragon force is for wannabe metalheads kids

  • dragonforce play their live in drunk ´their a rl good studioband but dunno in live if they wouldent play in drunk lol.i like only holy war of dragonland.dragonforce has many awesome songs.this is nothing for dragonforce

  • A world full of magic and gloooooryy!!

  • Dragonland is awesome. Period.

  • wow why is it every dragonland post they start talking about dragonforce they are two different bands with two different guitar solos...... is it that they have almost have the same name so you guys keep bring them up???

  • Dragonforce is a very nice band that performs great songs in Studio and very complicated, but they just can't play their songs live cause they record 5 guitars and 2 keyboards etc. Dragonland is a humble gruop, and they can play live, even if their songs are not too complicated. They are very nice and they don´t believe it as Dragonforce do. Sorry for my bad english : /

  • U r right man!

  • lol, the fact that Dragonforce sounds really bad at live, is because they play always drunk XD.

  • Sounds more like an excuse in my opinion. Furthermore, why would you continue to see a band that always plays drunk? Piss poor excuse.

  • lol man, are u a moron or what?.. if do u play guitar, try to play it drunk, u wont be the same as if u were normal.. lol, ur question.. they play really really good, well...just when they arent drinking, but if u have at least a little bit of love to metal, i dont care if they are drunk, dragonforce is dragonforce..

    and finally, isnt an excuse, so shut up (:

    PD. I love Dragonland, even more than Dragonforce, but both are excellent.

  • I'm a huge metal fan, I enjoyed most early Dragonforce, but I have been to their concerts as of late, and have been pissed because they were so called "drunk" on stage. If they weren't drunk, they didn't play well. I do play guitar as well as bass and have played them drunk, and of course its harder to play. From an artist's perspective though, you would think they would want to put on the best show possible...meaning not playing drunk. Majority of the bands I enjoy play sober, and I'm glad.

  • i also enjoy the firsts Dragonforce cds, and u are right about the idea of giving the best show; but the fact, unfortunate, is that Dragonforce has a lot of publicity, a lot of fans, girls, money, so they only.."play" in stage...but, i give the drummer 10 stars, because, even though he is always drunks as the others, he still plays very good..

  • tho the best drummer in all of history was john bonham from led zeppelin

  • funny if there so bad only because there drunk, how about they stop playing drunk...omg omg omg, thats a great idea. can't believe i was the first person to think of it. shit they should make me there manager.

    because there is no way they havn't heard themselves and cringed at least 1 time for every note of every song every show lol.

    a great live preformance easily trumps a great studio with horrible live preformance.

    like come on anyone can sound good with a studio.

  • What are you talking about? dragonforce is a pretty good band, so is this they are both good.

  • Any powermetal band is good, don't whine about it.

  • exactly

  • Wow.. power metal noobs saying this song sounds like dragonforce. Pfft. Dragonland has a pretty unique sound overall, but this sound is a carbon copy ripoff of a stratovarius song. Stop jacking off to guitar hero and go expand your power metal knowledge, kids.

  • Amen!!! What Stratovarius song you talking about btw?

  • not to mention Dragonforce is a total fools band

  • Meh, these guys are pretty good.

    I still prefer Dragonforce. At least their name doesn't sound like a blatant rip-off of Fairyland.

  • Omg man .. DragonForce are only loosers .. They dont know a shit about playing music in LIVES .. they are only a STUDIO-BAND and nothing more .. And they are fucking posers too .. sorry man but Dragonland are way better than Dragon(studio)Force Cheers
  • go listen to download and japan live! Dragonforce rocks and of course their songs are much more difficult than dragonlands ones

  • i wanna hear you play better then herman then you can say whatever you want and ill consider it as truth and not just some bumbling idiot
