Interview with DragonForce's Herman Li

PCM's Kristyn had the recent opportunity to catch up with DragonForce guitarist Herman Li at the last stop of the band's North American tour in Philadelphia.

A little about the band: In the space of two short years, the UK-based DragonForce have risen steadily, advancing up the ranks of the hard rock elite. They've grown from relative unknowns in the United States to an impossible-to-ignore phenomenom that's spread across message boards and schoolyards, thanks to their tuneful, epic and guitar-driven anthems, their high-level inclusion on Guitar Hero 3:Legends of Rock and a near-constant touring schedule. The single "Through the Fire and Flames" has been RIAA-certified Gold and 2006's Inhuman Rampage, which debuted at #1 on Billboard's Heatseeker's Chart, has sold over 300,000 copies in its wake.

Over those two fateful years following the album's release, the band toured America for the first time in their career and were embraced with open arms. The first tour was sold out before Inhuman Rampage even hit record store shelves and the marathon cycle continued for well over a year, as they dominated the main stage of 2006's Ozzfest, followed that up with a sold-out headline run and a plum support slot opening for new labelmates, Killswitch Engage, before heading home to work on Ultra Beatdown, an excellent effort that rivals its predecessor in every facet.

Check out the interview clips below to find out more about the band's upcoming re-release's and what the future has in store!
