The second track “The Fire Still Burns” picks up where “Heroes Of Our Time” ends, and both songs are filled with great amounts of speed, catchy chorus lines and fast and melodic twin guitar solos with their trademark Nintendo-sounding squeals. For instance, the album opener “Heroes Of Our Time” could easily have been taken from their 2006 release Inhuman Rampage. The album is filled with songs that have the typical DragonForce trademark. It’s easy to use the song “Through The Fire And Flames” as a reference to how their music sounds and those who like that song is going to love their new release Ultra Beatdown. DragonForce is a band you either love or hate, and if you like Power Metal you’re most likely already a fan of theirs. The band’s musical style is characterized by their twin guitar solos, their insanely fast pace (at times close to 200 bpm!) and electronic elements that at times can remind you of the classic Nintendo 8-bit songs. The band is best known for their song “Through The Fire And Flames” that was included in the video game Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock and the band’s music sales increased dramatically due to this. They started out as Dragonheart in 1999, but changed their name to DragonForce due to possible issues with a Brazilian band with the same name. DragonForce has been around for almost a decade now, and have released four studio albums to this date, their 2008 release Ultra Beatdown being the latest.
