DragonForce - 'Astro Warrior Anthem' (music video)
Sands of time are running low, the clock is ticking
Light the fuse about to blow, escape this city
Our planet under siege, unleash the Necron fleet
Strapped in and set to go,
Now blast into the great unknown,
Into the great unknown
Protectors of the stars we blaze towards
The battlefield in force tonight
A pulse of energy lights up the sky
Like supersonic dynamite
The star of death awaits our power growing
Brighter than the burning sun
Hold down your triggers and prepare
To blow them all into oblivion
In a distant dream, but it's time to let it go
With a burning in your heart,
Like lightning in the dark, flying
Faster than light deadly we strike
Under the gun, nowhere to run
Meltdown approaching the earth is burning
Masters of the cosmic skies
Faster take a rocket ride
Through solar clouds our anthem sounds
To defend to the last survivor
Warriors of galactic fire
Soldiers of the great empire
For future kings our anthem rings
To defend to the last survivor
Astro Warriors guardians of the sky
Hear our battle cry
We laugh at death another enemy fighter
Bursting right into flames
Feel the G-force caught in the crosshair
Of their lasers fire in our veins
For the empire we fight and die above
The wasteland burning down below
So one more time it's do or die
We're sent to fly into the danger zone
In a cosmic sea only memories of home
With a vengeance in your hearts
On the highway of the stars flying
Fighters deployed, cities destroyed
Under the gun out on the run
Meltdown approaching the earth is burning
Masters of the cosmic skies
Faster take a rocket ride
Through solar clouds our anthem sounds
To defend to the last survivor
Warriors of galactic fire
Soldiers of the great empire
For future kings our anthem rings
To defend to the last survivor
Astro Warriors guardians of the sky
Hear our battle cry
Through the black hole, through the galaxy
For the glory of the federation
Through the firestorm, through the hurricane
For the dawn of a brand new day
Through the black hole, through the galaxy
For the glory of the federation
Through the firestorm, through the hurricane
For the dawn of a brand new day
Start a riot, start a war, touch the path to glory
Every age comes to an end
Tearing up, crashing down it's an endless story
But we are one, the battle born, still flying
Faster than light deadly we strike
Under the gun, nowhere to run
Meltdown approaching the earth is burning
Masters of the cosmic skies
Faster take a rocket ride
Through solar clouds our anthem sounds
To defend to the last survivor
Warriors of galactic fire
Soldiers of the great empire
For future kings our anthem rings
To defend to the last survivor
Astro Warriors guardians of the sky
Masters of the cosmic skies
Faster take a rocket ride
Through solar clouds our anthem sounds
To defend to the last survivor
Warriors of galactic fire
Soldiers of the great empire
For future kings our anthem rings
To defend to the last survivor
Astro Warriors guardians of the sky
Hear our battle cry

Οι DragonForce μας έρχονται από την πρωτεύουσα της Αγγλίας. Δημιουργήθηκαν το μακρινό 1999 (τα δύο πρώτα χρόνια ως DragonHeart), μας συστήνονται ως «Grammy nominated, RIAA Platinum extreme power metal band», αυτοχαρακτηρίζονται ως «the fastest band in the world» και έχουν κυκλοφορήσει -μεταξύ άλλων- εννέα (9) full length albums. Το ένατο (και πλέον πρόσφατο) φέρει τον τίτλο "Warp Speed Warriors" και "βγήκε" προ διμήνου...
Δελτίο τύπου: «The world’s fastest band, GRAMMY nominated extreme power metal legends DragonForce, are Warp Speed Warriors! The iconic unit is known for their masterful, unparalleled and lightning-fast signature guitar solos that influenced a whole genre.
The band around virtuoso guitarists and founding members Herman Li and Sam Totman are highly inspired by a myriad of heavy metal styles, fantasy realms and video games.
Formed in 1999, DragonForce has captivated audiences worldwide with their highly successful records and iconic singles, including the platinum-selling hit "Through the Fire and Flames" - the ultimate challenge for gamers on the legendary “Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock”.
Renowned for their epic compositions that expand the boundaries of heavy metal, on their highly anticipated new full-length, DragonForce explore a wider range of varying musical styles than ever before, evolving their sound throughout the exciting musical journey.
Breathtaking opening track “Astro Warrior Anthem” lives up to DragonForce’s reputation as the world's fastest band, captivating the listener from the very beginning and stunning with guitar solos delivered at an extreme speed.
Following Zelda inspired track “Power of the Triforce” keeps the volume high before DragonForce temporarily slows it down for the ballad ”Kingdom of Steel”. Rapid drum patterns and thrilling guitars carry the catchy “Burning Heart”, while chanting “Space Marine Corp” features a strong and uplifting chorus.
Electronic influences on grandiose power metal anthem “The Killer Queen” hypnotize, as singer Marc Hudson’s vocals reach for the skies. On “Doomsday Party”, 80s rock influences meet captivating retro video game soundscapes and epic guitar solos in true DragonForce manner.
The last original track on Warp Speed Warriors, “Pixel Prison”, is followed by DragonForce's unexpected yet brilliant cover of Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams (Taylor’s Version)”, that wraps up the epic adventure.
Warp Speed Warriors, produced by Herman Li, Sam Totman and Damien Rainaud -and mixed and mastered by the latter- is a matchless, innovative listening experience that continues the band's legacy with songs that will, without a shadow of a doubt, become instant classics in and beyond the DragonForce canon.»
