DragonForce - 'Power of the Triforce' (Zelda)

See the legend rising from the gates of time
Now all feel the magic of the Master Sword

We need a hero
In the magical land of Hyrule
A hero feared by all ghosts and ghouls
With the power to save us from Ganons dark force tonight
Fighting through the overworld fast as lightning
With the thunder and rain behind him
To the castle to crush the evil demons grasp tonight

For the Twilight Princess
And the Evil Priestess
For the lost treasure chest far beyond the sky

See the legend rising from the gates of time
Now all feel the magic of the Master Sword
Wisdom, courage, and the power unite
Now all feel the glory of the Master Sword
Power, power
Power of the Triforce
Power, power
Power of the Triforce
All feel the glory of the Master Sword raised high

Over lakes and mountains
The hooves of our horses pounding
The cries of our enemies sounding
The numbers of the dead pile high in the mire of mystery
Raging with the magic hammer invading
Break the chains of the Seven Maidens
Now the pyramids power destroyed by the lonely Cursed Fairy

In the swamp of evil
Find the ancient seal
With the light restored behold the golden key

See the legend rising from the gates of time
Now all feel the magic of the Master Sword
Wisdom, courage, and the power unite
Now all feel the glory of the Master Sword
Power, power
Power of the Triforce
Power, power
Power of the Triforce
All feel the glory of the Master Sword raised high

Dark wizards rise from dungeons down below
To the final battle now with Agahnim we go
Now we go

With the stones of power, at the mystic tree
With the green lands of Hyrule now freed
See our arrows fly, Ganons last defeat
And the stars awaken now forever free

See the legend rising from the gates of time
Now all feel the magic of the Master Sword
Wisdom, courage, and the power unite
Now all feel the glory of the Master Sword
Power, power
Power of the Triforce
Power, power
Power of the Triforce
All feel the glory of the Master Sword raised high

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 ημερών...

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.»
