Dragonforce原名Dragonheart,1999年在英格兰成军,后来为了避免造成混淆于2001年更名为Dragonforce,国内翻译成“龙的力量”和“猛龙军团”的比较多,个人更喜欢“龙势力”这个称呼,不过国内已经有用这个称号的了,其实又干嘛非要翻译呢。值得骄傲的是其中的吉他手是出生于香港的华裔Herman Li(李康敏),有华裔成员的世界级乐队可是屈指可数的,而其他成员也都来自世界各地。
Dragonforce的风格融合了速度、力量和旋律,最具代表性的作品可能要数第一张专辑的同名歌曲《Valley Of The Damned》,也是让我第一次注意到他们的歌。《Trail of broken hearts》是我最喜欢的也是为数不多的柔情之作,出自第三张专辑《Inhuman Rampage》,极佳的旋律,第二张专辑《Sonic Firestorm》中那首《Dawn Over A New World》也不错。

Lyrics:
Here we are, far beyond the distant sky
I've seen all the world and how the story will beat over
Through the snow and tainted mountains we have climbed
Now we have found the light that guides us over
Through the falling rain we've travelled far and wide
And through the blackest of these stars above shining bright
Through the sun and winter rain will fall
All our lives we all were waiting for a sign to call
We're walking hand in hand in dreams of endless time
How do we know when we will leave this life behind?
Stare at life through eyes of mine
The hate, the fear and the pain
There's a feeling held deep inside
When life you live is in vain
(Life you live is in vain)
Fly away down the lonely roads of yesterday
We close our eyes to see the light of brighter days
And all alone we'll be where time can never heal
With the trail of broken hearts flying free
Once again we walk this lonely road
There are times that we were wading through the rain and cold
We're lost in memories of what we left behind
Relive the dreams, the endless screams of pain inside
Lives are filled with emptiness
The fear returns once again
Searching endlessly, now we will see
Drown your mind in the pain
(Drown your mind in the pain)
Fly away down the lonely roads of yesterday
We close our eyes to see the light of brighter days
And all alone we'll be where time can never heal
With the trail of broken hearts flying free
The last temptation will be all that's left for me
When I see those tears you cry
When I hear those lies you lie
When I feel all creation now falling down on me
Is this the reason to be?
Solos : Sam/Herman/Sam
Fly away down the lonely roads of yesterday
We close our eyes to see the light of brighter days
And all alone we'll be where time can never heal
With the trail of broken hearts flying free...
The trail of broken hearts flying free
