So this is a chance for them to get into some of our biggest and best tracks from the albums that predate the current era.” They’re not familiar at all with our earliest stuff. “For Sam and myself, who’ve been there since the beginning, it’s a little strange to meet fans who’ve attended a DragonForce show and only know the songs from the albums we did with Marc, plus our biggest hit ‘Through The Fire And Flames’. “Marc has now been in the band for quite a while, and the fans have really taken to him,” Herman Li explains. This latter fact partially explains the existence of the collection that you hold in your hand. ‘Maximum Overload’ was also the second release to feature Marc Hudson, the singer who joined them in 2011. 2014’s ‘Maximum Overload’ was the sixth studio album of a career that brought them a Grammy Award nomination in 2008. The DragonForce sound is as exciting as it is unmistakable, and the band’s willingness to tour around the globe has paid off handsomely. The line-up was gradually completed by musicians from various countries, their cosmopolitan pedigrees adding extra colour and texture to a style that mixed thrash- and speed-metal with power-metal, performed with high quality musicianship and blessed by a strong, stirring melodic undercurrent. The band was formed in October 1999 by London-based twin guitar shredders Herman Li and Sam Totman, who used the name DragonHeart for two years. A special edition adds a third disc collating all seven of the band’s promotional videos, plus an additional live track. ‘Killer Elite’ offers almost two hours and 20 minutes of music, its 21 tracks, which include a smattering of concert material, touching upon the group’s entire repertoire. Their song " Through the Fire and Flames" is one of their most famous songs and is featured on the game " Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock" The first song and first single, " Heroes of Our Time", from their album, Ultra Beatdown, was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance on December 3, 2008, and is also in the video game Skate 2.DragonForce, the long running, hugely popular extreme power metal band, release their first ever ‘best-of’ collection on XXX XXXX, 2016. They first called themselves "DragonHeart", but found that a band with this same name already existed. DragonForce was founded in 1999 by singer ZP Theart, bassist Steve Scott, guitarists Sam Totman and Herman Li, drummer Didier Almouzni, and keyboardist Steve Williams.
