Dragonforce!

If you crave over-the-top metal about fantasy-worlds, Dragonforce is where it's at! It's a pedigree of Maiden and the NES Megaman sountrack. Absurdism on par with Alfred Jarry!

DragonForce is what happens when metal heads go to The Juilliard School of Music. all 6 of them play so fucking fast its crazy. i have always known about them, but nerd/math-metal aint for me.

It's like they were sitting around, bored, and one of them postulated, "Hey, we all have incredible musical chops, what's the cheesiest thing we could do with that?"
The lyrics make me chuckle, of course. And it's good to listen to while making monster populations and dungeons for the sandbox. But I really do like the passages that sound like Nintendo music.
