dragon force



dragon force band beraliran power metal adalah band yang aku favoriti. band ini berdiri sejak tahun 1999, saat itu, dulu band dragon force bernama dragon heart. tapi, saat nama dragon heart di pakai ada yang punya dan band kena issu menggambil nama dari band brasil nama bandnya dragon heart. sehingga ia berganti nama dragon force. dengan nama itu yang di personili:

ZP Theart – Lead and backing vocals
Herman Li – Lead and rhythm guitars, backing vocals
Sam Totman – Lead and rhythm electric guitars, backing vocals
Vadim Pruzhanov – Keyboards, Piano, backing vocals
Dave Mackintosh – Drums, backing vocals
Frédéric Leclercq – Bass, backing vocals

dengan formasi yang spektakuler dan mengemaskan mereka terkenal denganm melejitkan album Valley of the Damned dari album ini yang paling melejit adalah lagu DragonForce’s Through the Fire and Flames lagu yang paling extrem dengan di hiasi aransemen melodi dari herman li dan sam tot man yang sangat mengelegar dari segi lagu ini.

Most of the members went on to form power metal band DragonHeart, which later became known as DragonForce.

penampilan dragon force di indonesia beserta band indonesia


Live In Concert Dragon Force "In Human Rampage World Tour"
Jakarta, tennis Outdoor Senayan
Sabtu, 19 Mei 2007


Dragon Force salah satu band beraliran Power / Progresive Metal asal London, UK ini akhirnya datang juga ke Indonesia dalam tangkain tour album ke tiga mereka "In Human rampage" setelah ada berita mereka gagal datang ke indonesia. Band ini sendirinya sudah tidak asing bagi penggemar musik heavy metal yang terdiri dari ZP Theart - Lead vocals ,Herman Li - Lead / Rhythm guitars & Backing,vocals ,Sam Totman - Lead / Rhythm guitars & Backing vocals, Dave Mackintosh - Drums & Backing vocals ,Frédéric,Leclercq - Bass guitar & Backing vocals ,Vadim Pruzhanov - Keyboards & Backing vocals.
band yang didirikan tahun 1999 dan semula memakai nama DragonHeart yang kahirnya berganti nama menjadi Dragon Force setelah bentrok dengan salah satu band brasil yang mengklaim mempunya nama band tersebut terlebih dahulu. setelah mengganti nama menjadi Dragon Force band ini semakin naik daun. ini dibuktikan penjualan dari album-albumnya yg cukup diterima dipasaran.Dragon Force sendiri semakin sering konser di beberapa negara dan pernah konser bareng Helloween, W.A.S.P. Iron Maiden, Killswitch Engage, Chimaira dan He Is Legend.

Dengan skill musik masing personil yang cukup handal, seperti herman li yang pernah bermain bersama Steve vai, joe satriani dan juga beberapa personil lainnya yang sering mendapat penghargaan. Band ini tampil malam hari itu dengan penuh skill dan power !! mereka bermain dengan kecepatan yang tinggi, lirik lagu yang cukup unik dan melengking, beberapa aransement backing vokal yang bervariasi, beat yang konsisten dan permainan yang memacu semangat tiap chorus-nya, permainan melody gitar yang sedikit noise dan terkadang efek sperti musik video games dan permainan keyboard yang keren membuktikan konser DRAGON FORCE tidak hanya sekedar Atraksi Sirkus dalam skala besar.

Konser Dragon Force di jakarta ini dipromotori oleh Solicite yang sudah punya nama alam mendatang band luar yang bergenre rock dan metal yang cukup extreme spt kreator,dll. Sebagai band pembuka konser ini Roxx mengawali konser ini, mantan vokalis Edane Trison yang sekarang bergabung dengan Roxx bersama kawan-kawan mencoba menghibur penonton di sore hari itu dengan beberapa lagu lama yang cukup menghentak, lagu seperti 5 CM, Rock bergema cukup mengembalikan memori kita akan lagu-lagu hits lama mereka dan membuktikan mereka masih cukup Eksis !!

Seringai tampil di urutan kedua, band yang terkenal dengan hits-nya membakar jakarta ini berusaha tampil maksimal dengan lagu-lagu yang mereka pilih di konser ini seperti lagu amplifier, KM terakhir dna tentunya membakar jakarta !! NETRAL tampil diurutan ke 3 dengan mengumumkan awal juni atau akhir juni, album terbaru mereka bakal launching. lagu air , sorry,cahaya bulan, terbang tenggelam mereka bawakan dengan sempurna dan tidka ketinggalan pula mereka memainkan salah satu lagu dari album terbaru-nya "maut".

Edane yang cukup diperhitungkan sebagai band pembuka di konser ini malah mengalami kesialan, gitar EET sebagai frontman di band ini sempat tidak terdengar di 3 lagu. cukup disayangkan tapi dilagu keempat dan Kaupikir kaulah segalanya kembali EDANE mengajak penonton untuk menaikkan adreanalin !!

tanpa kendala teknis, DRAGON FORCE akhirnya tampil dengan hentakan musik yang membuat seluruh penonton saat itu di festival maju ke depan panggung dan "moshing" mengikuti irama permainan mereka. Lagu pertama sampail agu ke enam mereka bawakan dengan sempurna, terkadang sentuhan giatr yang atraktif, suara efek gitar, bass dan keywboard yang asyik dan aransemen tempo seperti musik game sering mereka mainkan.

Lagu ke-7, mereka mulai menurunkan tempo permainan dengan dibawakannya lagu slow, penonton yang hafal dengan lagu tersebut langsung ikut menyanyi. Dilanjutkan dengan permainan giar solo dan keyboard yang asyik mereka mulai memainkan lagu yang cukup menghentak. tapi sepertinya penonton tidak cukup agressif untuk mengikuti permainan mereka yang sebenanrnya lebih menghentak. penonton agak ragu-ragu untuk "moshing" mereka lebih banyak diam mengamati permainan gitaris dan atraksi sang vokalis.

Akhirnya lagu Through The Fire and Flames mereka mainkan setelah penonton meneriakan kata-kata yang lazim di konser "We Want more.. We Want more".

DRAGON FORCE live in Concert di jakarta kali ini, sebuah konser metal yang besar tapi lumayan membosankan dan kurangnya greget. lagu-lagunya kurang untuk bikin moshing kaleeee yahh ? tapi secara permainan dan skill bisa diacungin jempol !! dan Salut buat solucite yang konsisten terhadap konser-konser metal di indonesia.

through the fire and the flames


On a cold winter morning in a time before the light
In flames of death's eternal reign we ride towards the fight
When the darkness has fallen down and the times are tough alright
The sound of evil laughter falls around the world tonight

Fighting hard fighting on for the steel through the wastelands evermore
The scattered souls will feel the hell bodies wasted on the shores
On the blackest plains in hell's domain we watch them as they go
In fire and pain now once again we know

So now we fly ever free, we're free before the thunderstorm
On towards the wilderness our quest carries on
Far beyond the sundown, far beyond the moonlight
Deep inside our hearts and all our souls

reff:
So far away we wait for the day
For the lives all so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on

As the red day is dawning and the lightning cracks the sky
They'll raise their hands to the heavens above with resentment to their lies1
Running back through the mid morning light there's a burning in my heart2
We're banished from a time in a fallen land to a life beyond the stars

In your darkest dreams see to believe our destiny this time
And endlessly we'll all be free tonight

And on the wings of a dream so far beyond reality
All alone in desperation now the time has come
Lost inside you'll never find, lost within my own mind
Day after day this misery must go on

reff:
So far away we wait for the day
For the lives all so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on

Now here we stand with their blood on our hands
We fought so hard now can we understand
I'll break the seal of this curse if I possibly can
For freedom of every man

reff:
So far away we wait for the day
For the lives all so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on
