Maximum Overload

Whether you love them or hate them, Power Metal titans DRAGONFORCE have made an iconic impact on the Rock and Metal community and if their latest instalment "Maximum Overload" doesn't secure their place in the Rock and Metal Hall Of Fame I don't know what will.

Guitarist Herman Li explained that the album's title and artwork were inspired by "the constant bombardment of information we are subjected to during our daily lives"

"We were in an airport departure lounge surrounded by TV screens, flight information screens and advertising screens. We then looked around and no one was saying a word, they were all looking at more screens on tablets, laptops and mobile phones. There's no escaping it; it's complete information overload!"

Totman said it also reflected the musical direction of the album...

"We were trying to come up with a title to try and describe the music, it's kind of like an overload of music, faster guitar playing and more of everything. The theme of the album is talking about our society and what it does at the moment - information on the internet and phone and absorbing a lot of this unnecessary stuff."
