Herman Li on ‘Warp Speed Warriors’:

“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!”

Following the opening track “Astro Warrior Anthem”, the Zelda-inspired track “Power of the Triforce” keeps the volume high before DRAGONFORCE temporarily slows it down for the ballad “Kingdom of Steel”. Rapid drum patterns and thrilling guitars carry the catchy “Burning Heart” while chanting “Space Marine Corp” features a strong and uplifting chorus. Electronic influences on the grandiose power metal anthem “The Killer Queen” hypnotize, as singer Marc Hudson’s vocals reach for the skies. The last original track on ‘Warp Speed Warriors’, “Pixel Prison”, is followed by DRAGONFORCE’s unexpected yet brilliant cover of Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams (Taylor’s Version)” as a bonus track that wraps up the epic adventure as a bonus track on some formats.

‘Warp Speed Warriors’ was produced, mixed, and mastered by Damien Rainaud at Mix Unlimited in Los Angeles, California with Sam Totman and Herman Li. This album is a matchless, innovative listening experience that continues the band’s legacy with songs that will, without a shadow of a doubt, become instant classics in and beyond the DRAGONFORCE canon.
