Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s DragonForce! DragonForce are playing Graspop Metal Meeting for the fifth time this summer. Their brand of power metal is all about going full throttle so expect another riffing masterclass. Starting out two decades ago as a promising young band, the London-based outfit developed into a power metal giant with nine full-lengths to their credit. Their latest effort, ‘Warp Speed Warriors’ (2024), is another signature DragonForce album characterised by instrumental extravagance and warp-speed riffing as the main ingredient. Their live shows are no less energetic than their studio work and the Herman Li/Sam Totman tag team is famous for its stage antics. Who needs energy drinks when DragonForce is the ultimate energiser? #GMM25
