DragonForce Ultra Beatdown World Tour Hits Singapore

By News Desk

2009 Grammy Nominee - London based melodic metal band DragonForce returns to Singapore with a one-night only concert at D'Marquee, Downtown East on Saturday, April 11, 2009 at 8pm.

Nominated for Best Metal Performance for the track "Heroes of Our Time" in the upcoming Grammy awards on February 8, DragonForce has achieved incredible worldwide success over the past two years with their explosive and entertaining live shows.

The Singapore leg of the world tour will feature songs from their latest album Ultra Beatdown as well as hits from their previous albums. Their last album Inhuman Rampage sold in excess of 350,000 copies in America alone, over 85,000 in the UK and 600,000 worldwide, spawning the US Gold single "Through The Fire and Flames," thus giving DragonForce the cachet of being the most successful new British metal act in America for two decades!

Ultra Beatdown is the album that has taken DragonForce to new heights, and has escalated to the Top 20 charts in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Taiwan, Singapore and the Top 10 in Japan. DragonForce's appeal extends beyond music fans; Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock fanatics will definitely recognise the song "Through the Fire and Flames" from their Inhuman Rampage album. This is listed as the most popular song on the game's official website. With the game spanning all three major consoles: Xbox 360, Wii and Playstation 2, the latter song will possibly be the best exposed Metal single to gamers, being notorious as the most difficult to play in the game as a bonus track.
