“ Sam and I pretty much came up with the concept for all this,” Herman reveals to us via Skype. One of the most striking things about Extreme Power Metal comes before you even hit play on the album itself, with the album’s cover art conjuring up an immediate mental image of the best in 80s action movies, with its comic book visuals depicting the band’s members as futuristic armored soldiers in front of a giant explosion and monstrous metallic dragon. Now on the cusp of releasing their eighth studio album, we caught up with guitarist Herman Li to find out more about the record’s retro-futuristic style, how the band embraced streaming culture during its creation, and their imminent worldwide touring plans. Since forming back in 1999, the band have gone from strength to strength, notably scoring mainstream recognition back in 2007 when Through The Fire And Flames set the internet alight as part of Guitar Hero III, and have continued on strongly ever since. Over the last twenty years, few British bands have made as much of an impact within the realms of power-metal as DRAGONFORCE.
