Guitars blazing at light speed! Lyrics about fighting and flames! Running time exceeding three minutes! Keytar! DragonForce not only conjured the "Guitar Hero" track of 2007, it's broken every rule for getting airplay with "Through the Fire and Flames." The videogame has brought the multi-culti act mainstream attention because of this edge-of-your-seat adventure that is dizzying in its ambition and execution: Imagine a band running a power-prog-themed amusement park with speed metal rollercoasters that do loops and hairpin turns at 150 mph. Herman Li and Sam Totman are fast becoming guitar gods of the new millennial generation, but don't forget singer ZP Theart, keyboardist Vadim Pruzhanov, drummer David MacKintoch and bassist Frederic LeClerq. They all have to keep time as one to gloriously cavort through a song that's so over the top, you have to smile—and air-guitar with glee. —Christa L. Titus
