Beloved power metal champions DragonForce have announced plans to commemorate the 20th anniversary of their seminal full length release, Inhuman Rampage. Following the recent addition of legendary frontwoman Alissa White-Gluz as the band begins their newest era, DragonForce will embark on a comprehensive North American tour which will feature a performance of the album in full for the first time ever.
Additionally, the set will include a collection of fan favorites and preview new music in what will already be a monumental tour, marking Alissa White-Gluz's debut headlining tour out in front of DragonForce. Guitarist Herman Li spoke about the magnitude of the North American tour, "Alissa joining the band is an expansion of everything we’ve done up to this point. Twenty years is a long time to do anything, let alone survive the music industry and still be so inspired to continue doing what we love. Together we will honor what made ‘Inhuman Rampage‘ matter, while showing people exactly where we’re going next. Having Alissa in the room changes everything. She doesn’t just sing, she makes all aspects of our music better. And she sounds incredible live! I can’t wait for the fans to see her and hear what we have been working on.”
Alissa also spoke about the excitement she has to begin this next chapter with the band, “As a long-time fan of DragonForce, having seen them in concert multiple times over the last 20 years, I am beyond excited to be bringing such iconic music to life with these amazingly skilled musicians in such a fun and inspiring environment. It feels great to showcase all the colours of my voice in technically challenging, deeply energizing, highly addictive songs. Creating and performing with musicians who deeply care about the music and concerts as much as I do is so refreshing. Plus, with Blue Medusa going full throttle and gaining so much momentum in parallel, I feel like I am permanently in the creative zone, which is exactly where I want to be!”
The year-ending trek begins November 13th San Diego, CA and concludes in Los Angeles at The Wiltern of December 13th. The tour will feature supporting sets from Ensiferum and Rhapsody Of Fire.
The general on-sale is set to begin May 29th at 10am local time.
