Opening with Alissa’s haunting clean vocals, 'Neverending Nightmare' unfolds across more than six minutes of relentless speed, intricate guitar work and dramatic vocal contrasts. Powerful passages collide with multiple extended guitar solos, each showcasing a different facet of the virtuosic interplay between Herman Li and Sam Totman. The dynamic combination of clean and harsh vocals from White-Gluz and vocalist Alessio Garavello adds further depth and intensity, highlighting the new vocal dimension at the heart of DRAGONFORCE’s forthcoming album.
'Neverending Nightmare' is available now exclusively on YouTube alongside its official music video. The song will be released worldwide across all streaming platforms on Thursday, 12th November.
DragonForce consciously brings back some of the raw energy and intensity of DRAGONFORCE’s early records while pushing those elements forward through the new lineup. “Neverending Nightmare” continues the high-speed assault with captivating melodies and virtuosic guitar work. Produced, recorded, mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren, the tenth studio album is driven by the uncompromising musicianship and technical precision that have always defined DRAGONFORCE.
DRAGONFORCE on the new album:
“Every time we begin making another album, we just think, ‘Wow – I can't believe we're still doing what we love after all these years.’ The approach of the tenth album is as important as the first one, or any of the albums, because the way we look at music is we're making a piece of art that's going to be frozen in time,” says DRAGONFORCE co-founder and lead guitarist Herman Li. “We always try to use everything we've learned from our years of experience, and put that into the new music. This is unlike any DRAGONFORCE album you've ever heard, and unlike any metal albums out there. There's just nothing like it, and everyone listening will realize that straight away. We're not trying to be commercial. We're not trying to be popular. We're not trying to be famous. We make music because we want to make something that we love to hear and elevate our musicianship to the next level.”
“I have loved the entire process of making music with DRAGONFORCE. It’s great to connect with such elite musicians and work together to really bring out the best of our respective styles.” adds Alissa White-Gluz, who became DRAGONFORCE’s first frontwoman this past spring. “I think this new combo of speed and ferocity is refreshing and exciting. It's going to be so much fun to perform live.”
With their tenth studio album, DRAGONFORCE bring more than two decades of history into a new era. DragonForce combines the band’s signature high-speed sound with the new dynamic of frontwoman Alissa White-Gluz and vocalist Alessio Garavello, merging their melodic power metal DNA with raw energy, infectious hooks and uncompromising guitar work. The artwork was created by Mark Riddick.
