DragonForce have announced their ninth album.
The follow-up to 2019's 'Extreme Power Metal' is titled 'Warp Speed Warriors' and will arrive through Napalm Records on March 15.
Described as their "most ambitious and innovative full-length so far," the record will include their previously unveiled track Doomsday Party and the new campy, shred-heavy single, Power Of The Triforce, inspired by the Legend Of Zelda video game franchise. Commenting on it, guitarist Herman Li said:
"We're thrilled to unveil our latest track, a powerful homage inspired by one of our favorite video-game franchises, Zelda! We're eager for metal enthusiasts of all tastes to discover something special within its depths. Brace yourselves, as we're gearing up to unleash this sonic adventure live during our upcoming tours!"
On the LP, Li added: "After four years of creative incubation, we are beyond excited to release what we believe to be our most ambitious and grandiose record yet. This album showcases multiple facets of our artistic abilities, and we invite metal aficionados from every corner of the genre to discover something captivating within its layers. We can't wait to share this chapter of our musical journey with you, it's going to be EPIC!"
DragonForce will kick off a North American tour with a show in Mesa, Arizona on Friday (October 20), before a co-headlining trek with Amaranthe in February and March, which includes a trio of UK dates. Tickets are on sale now.
