Dragonforce - Reaching Into Infinity (New CD)
Description
2017 release, the seventh studio album from the Grammy-nominated extreme melodic power metal band. The album was recorded with Jens Bogren (Opeth, Katatonia, Soilwork), the producer extraordinaire who helmed the UK-based group's now three-year-old previous record Maximum Overload. Reaching Into Infinity introduces Italian drummer Gee Anzalone, who joined the band for their first ever 'best-of' collection, Killer Elite: The Hits, The Highs, The Vids, released in 2016. It's the third DragonForce album to feature frontman Marc Hudson, whose reign at the mic now enters it's sixth year. Musically speaking, Reaching Into Infinity continues where DragonForce left off with Maximum Overload, the band's faster material becoming even faster still, while the melodic parts head even further in that particular direction. The band offer no apologies for the inclusion of a 1980s rock-style ballad entitled 'Silence' and, at the other end of the spectrum, there's even an 11-minute multi-tempo monster called 'The Edge Of The World'.
