DragonForce - 'The Killer Queen' (official audio)

Feel the chill run down your spine
Fear what lies behind your blinds
In the night just close your eyes
Nowhere to run nowhere to hide

She’s out to put you in a tomb
Now there’s nothing you can do
She hunts beneath the blood red skies
Behold her power now rising from the

Shadows, fires
Fuel your deep desires
Mistress of the dark night takes your soul

Hide and scream she’s a killer queen
With heart of fire and ice, better run for all your lives
Hide and scream she’s a killer queen you know
She’s a phantom flying free
Angel of your destiny
Gonna haunt you in your dreams
She’s a killer queen

Silently haunting the streets
A trail of blood with each heartbeat
Her poison lips whisper sweet lies
She spins her web you're hypnotized

My mind a slave unto her power
Her grip grows stronger by the hour
A symphony of twisted games
An empty soul now forced back to the

Shadows, hideouts
Spend the night in silence
Mistress of the dark night takes control

Trapped in her kingdom feel the storms embrace
Strong is her presence like a razorblade
Beg for her mercy feel the lightning's spark
Hand her your wealth and she'll crush your bleeding heart

In this cosmic sea where destinies collide
With my heart’s desire now walking side by side
A craving for her touch so sweet
The dance of love is now complete
Souls aflame with life's eternal fires

Solos: Sam / Herman / Sam / Herman / Sam

But as dreams become the true reality
Thousands blinded by her dangerous beauty
Spellbound and trapped in this maze
A bitter twisted serenade

An evil temptress once more flying free

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 μηνός...

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.»
