DRAGONFORCE - English Metal band born in 1999. Still active.
DragonForce is a Metal/Power Metal band, which sings with epic or fantastical lyrics and uses twin-guitars and keyboards to create an awesome musical atmosphere. DragonForce is composed of 6 members.
ZP Theart : He's the main vocalist of the band. ZP's voice is a relatively rare voice-type among men, known as countertenor. He usually sings in high-pitch.
Herman Li : Herman Li uses an Electric Guitar and it's a backing vocalist. Li draws influences from video game music and mimics sounds from popular retro games from late 80's, early 90's arcade and PC Engine games. For example, Li has been known for making several Pac-Man type noises in the song "
Through the Fire and Flames"
on Inhuman Rampage. He is also noted as being able to mimic other noises such as motorcycles and a neighing horse.
Sam Totman : Lead and rhythm guitarist. He's also a vocalist. Totman is the writer of many of the songs from DragonForce, and he's also the main composer of the band.
Vadim Pruzhanov : He's the keyboardist. Vadim recently switched to playing a Keytar in order to be able to move about whilst playing at the extreme speeds for which DragonForce are known. Pruzhanov is well known amongst the DragonForce fan community for his frantic headbanging and extremely fast, techno/video game inspired keyboard solos.
Dave Mackintosh : He's the drummer and backup vocalist. Dave was influenced by Neil Peart, Mike Portnoy, Tommy Aldridge, Charlie Benante, Ingo Schwichtenberg, Nicko McBrain, Jonny Maudling, Vinnie Paul.
Frédéric Leclercq : He's the bassist. His passion for Heavy Metal music started at the age of 12. Leclercq is influenced by various guitarists such as Uli Jon Roth, Adrian Smith, Trey Azagthoth and Marty Friedman.
