Well I've found myself listening to Dragonforce a lot lately, and I thought I'd share some excellent songs with you guys.

Just note, Dragonforce is "Pure" Power. They are fast, very fast. And if you're not a fan of guitar solos then why do you like metal? then you might want to stay away from this band.

Honestly though, at first I really didn't care for them. My friend gave me their Sonic Firestorm album, I listened to it, and the first time I listened to the album I didn't care. But, eventually I wanted to listen to it ... again, and again, and again. It quickly grew on me, and now I really like it actually.

At first, I didn't like the speed and their style. I mean, they are seriously fast paced. But now I've gotten used to it, and it's almost weird going back to listen to Edguy or something. I also hated the vocals at first, but now I really like them ...

So yeah, this band at first may not sound too great to you, but if give these songs a few listenings, you may end up really liking them.
(PS: Spy, I sent you probably the worst song on the album, so give these songs a try )

(Right click and save as)

Dragonforce - My Spirit Will Go On. A heavy song that introduces the album, and easily one of my favorites.
Dragonforce - Soldiers of the Wasteland. This song is an absolute master piece. If you didn't like the style of the first song, I'd still recommend checking this one out, it's quite different. An opera-ish intro, fast paced Megaman-ish soloing at the beginning, then the song goes on and builds up to an awesome solo part.
Dragonforce - Prepare for War. This song isn't as heavy as the first two, but it's still incredible. It's got a nice intro, and even a great slow part to it. This is one of their best songs on this album.

Their other songs on this album I'm really not that much of a fan of. Track 2 for instance, which I sent Spy awhile ago, is almost aboslutely nothing but speed and soloing, and it does kind of get annoying. So, I hope in the future Dragonforce will make their songs more diverse, and have more style to them like these 3 that I've posted.

Also, Dragonforce only has 2 albums out now, and they're already pretty well known. So, I'd say that's saying something.

My highest recommendation for Power Metal fans.

I personally think there great and since I've been fans of Metallica, Iron Maiden, and bands like that I definately recommend this band to anybody who is a fan of the bands I've listed before. I still think Edguy and Rhapsody are more of what I like but I also have the craving for some speed and fast metal type of music. Usually all type of metals are fast imo at least. I only have Sonic Firestorm but I need to hear that other album since I've liked the first one so much. If anybody knows where to get it pm me.

Also any other suggestions on what other power metal or metal bands I could listen to?

I've heard only great things about Sonata Arctica. I still would like to check them out.

I also have a song by 403, a Japanese Power Metal band.

That sounds awesome a japanese power metal band and I'm fan of j-rock so I bet I would love it. Only thing is that its hard to find downloads of power metal bands. At least the non-heard of ones. Edguy and Rhapsody is easy stuff to find.
