Twenty years after the record that made "Through The Fire And Flames" a household noise, DragonForce opened their largest North American tour in more than two decades on 13 November at The Observatory North Park in San Diego.
The run is twenty two dates and it exists for the 20th anniversary of Inhuman Rampage, which the band play front to back every night, with a stage production built around it. The set also carries songs they have never played live before and the live debuts of new material, among them "Hunger Of The Beast" and "Neverending Nightmare".
Inhuman Rampage spent twenty three consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200 and its best known song went platinum. The new material comes from the self titled album Napalm Records releases on 19 March 2027, the band's tenth.
That record is the first with Alissa White-Gluz, formerly of Arch Enemy, as the band's frontwoman and permanent vocalist, announced in May, alongside Alessio Garavello on the male vocals; Garavello had stood in for Marc Hudson in 2016 and again in 2023. Herman Li, Sam Totman, Gee Anzalone and Alicia Vigil remain, with Billy Wilkins added. Jens Bogren produced it, recorded across the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Sweden.
