WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT VADIM'S WORK?! Just remember who composed and wrote Storming the Burning Fields, one of the most talented metal songs this band has ever produced!
Yeah, this to me was the definitive line-up. It kinda boggles me how this album isn't held in high esteem by a lot of DragonForce fans, because looking back across the discography I think it's one of their strongest efforts. Every member was at the top of their game and firing on all cylinders, that's the only way you really CAN make an album as overwrought and bombastic as this. If you go through track-by-track and identify weak links that you would want to just skip, there really aren't any for me. MAYBE Heartbreak Armageddon, but only because I want to get to The Last Journey Home, which is one of my favourite DragonForce tracks.
Yeah they were clearly bolstered by the success of TTFaF, and wanted to make an album that took things even further than IR, to get even more success (which didn't exactly happen, but still resulted in an amazing album)
Inside the Winter Storm and Last Journey Home are some of DragonForce's best work. As well as My Spirit Will Go On which I think was on Sonic Firestorm and Body Breakdown which I believe was on Inhuman Rampage?

it sounded like shit lmao. and the part they went on to record is probably their best instrumental section across their whole discography, so there's that.
1: Reaching Into Infinity 2: The Power Within 3: Maximum Overload 4: Valley Of The Damned 5: Sonic Firestorm 6: Inhumane Rampage 7: Ultra Beatdown 8: Killer Elite
Well...dragonforce songs are pretty tuff to sing, imagine singing 20 songs, 3 or 2 days a week, and combine that with heavy drinking and smoking. I think that took it's toll on zp voice. And the guys (especially herman) didn't get that.
@@bensroom But tbh, they sounded like shit at the end of the Ultra Beatdown tour because of ZP. They even tuned down for him which basically killed the songs. That's coming from someone who thinks this was their best album and line-up. But I'm glad that they went back to standard tuning with Marc. ZP never grew up, I guess. He should have taken it more seriously
Zippy has a way better sounding singing voice, also has way more charisma. But I would say Marc is more technically proficient with his vocals. Like you rarely see Marc majorly fuck up and is consistently great, Zippy was very inconsistent his lows were really rough but I will say when he was on his A game he was near god tier. Plus I miss how good Zippy's somber vocals were the ballads aren't the same without him.
7:52 sam, the guitar isn't plugged in!!! you're just miming to the solo you already recorded! honestly surprised it took me this long to notice that, with how many times I've seen this video
This was the OG lineup. Some of the best songs they put out IMO.
I definitely think Marc and Gee are upgrades.
2020 anyone?
Me!!! New fan going through good old memories😂
no?
@@shirleyhuang7833 and how the fuck could you go trough old memories if your a new fan ;v
Shirley Huang the classics lol. did u get into them before or after vadim left?
2022
Every motion of every joint of Vadim commands such respect and at the same time are unable to be taken seriously.

UB is truly groundbreaking stuff. Best album besides Sonic Firestorm, my all time fave.
Yeah they were clearly bolstered by the success of TTFaF, and wanted to make an album that took things even further than IR, to get even more success (which didn't exactly happen, but still resulted in an amazing album)
9:56 has to be the most magical and RAWEST solo and riff. Its my most favorite section from The Last Journey Home. 10/10 song, 11/10 album
Vadim is one of the most gifted pianists I've seen in a long time. Even on this album (Which wasn't the greatest) he showed he's extremely talented.
Hey Ultra Beatdown almost got them a grammy. Not trying to be a douche
Inside the Winter Storm and Last Journey Home are some of DragonForce's best work. As well as My Spirit Will Go On which I think was on Sonic Firestorm and Body Breakdown which I believe was on Inhuman Rampage?
@@BW_Drums yes
Poy31 no way
Rough Divide heartbreak Armageddon is the magnum opus
its been 10 years since the album started. Time flies so fast.
Vadim doing the Heartbreak Armageddon solo at 12:56 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I dont care what anybody says. This was the dragonforce lineup.
2:02 ZP Theart singing the Most Underrated DragonForce Song "The Last Journey Home" in my entire life. XD
I agree, I love this song but almost nobody agrees with us
@I Centurioni Official True, it will "Shine glorious" with us while "We run". XD
Heartbreak Armageddon is the most underrated DF song
@Cuzjudd
The Most Underrate DragonForce Single is TLJH. :)
Noob Killer no
The "hot damn! Curse" ZP and Dave said that and both left the band!
Hot damn
HOT DAMN!!! XD
Also Vadim said it before ZP, and Vadim left too. Man, 100% curse confirmed
4:18 oh my god that was epic
matibaski Reasons to live
What had to happen so that this intro was not placed? it was epic
that version of reasons to live actually sounds better than the one we got in the album
The last journey home is one of their best songs on Ultra beatdown. Love the studio work here on that beautiful song. ❤
Mark is great. But I will always like more Zippy's voice.
I like both
I had the bonus disc that had this video on it. Suuuuuuuper nostalgic.
1:58 Sam: ''Hot dayum!''
ZP Theart: ''HOT DAYUM! Okay, let's go.''
XD
And Herman still says he doesn't remember Heartbreak Armageddon...
Lol
That video was great
@@heavymetalrules436 haha it was unexpected
5:54 sounds epic without guitars 🥁🥁
I'm a Fin too. Meeting ZP was a beautiful time.
love the banter
The way herman says amazing.
seeing as how much work they put into this, ima grab myself a copy

14:02 One of the biggest reasons to leave was that. He wanted to make his own music
That techno part did sound like shitty club music though. He left because he wasn't being considered during the creative processes of songwriting.
lmao no it's because he's a religious nutjob. For real, check out his social media.
it sounded like shit lmao. and the part they went on to record is probably their best instrumental section across their whole discography, so there's that.
@@snoopdogg3677 I thought he left cause he needed to be with his family whilst they were on tour
@@sundaedream6088Nah bro, he got kicked
This was the best line up. They are still great, but it seems like the band is starting to fall apart.
Agreed! It’s just not the same with ZPs on stage presence and mackintosh or Fred or vadim.
I agree. They were having fun as a band, now they seem kinda bored on stage
They are actually very productive right now as a band, with all the live streams and youtube videos etc. They seem to be having a lot of fun actually.
Since Marc joined the band, they haven't lost any stride. Even now during the pandemic.
In the future, Beast in Black made a song recently that sounded like what Vadim wanted: Power Of The Beast
9:15 wished to see that from the front view
Sem and Li roasting each other 🥰🥰
Anyone feel ZP's pre-pro natural vocals here sound better than the vocals on the final album? Overproduction fucked ZP's vocals on this album.
I agree that ZP's pre-pro vocals sounded better, but I still loved his vocals on the album nonetheless.
"I'm a middle aged electrician" "I'm pretty bored"
8:00 perfection
Miss Zp :(
Zp heart no singing in live
Marc can sing in live
@@AdanDeluxeXD ur spelling skills LMAO
@@heavymetalrules436 maybe English isn't their first language
vadim and janne from children of bodom are 2 of the most talented keys players alive
i agree!
Can't forget Jordan Rudess
13:40 this is so fuckin funny 😂
My personal fav lineup:
ZP
Herman
Sam
Fred
Vadim
Dave
Entertainment wise:
Marc
Herman
Sam
Fred
Vadim
Gee
Gee is pretty boring, definitely Dave for entertainment for me.
2022 and I'm here
The OG Dragonforce bring back ZP,Dave and vadim and Fred
Anyone in 2024?
Send Totman is seriously underrated, as a rhythm and lead. But I still think Herman Lee is a great guitarist.
anyone else who noticed Herman playing smells like teen spirit at 6:25 ?
No. He just took a G chord. Also SLTS is in F.
LMAO you fucker xD
that's LITERALLY not Smells Like Teen Spirit lol
Ultra Beatdown is da besss DF album
the worst you mean
Reported
by far the best.
I'd rank em as
1. Sonic Firestorm
2. Valley
3. Ultra Beatdown
4. Reaching into Infinity
5. Inhuman RAmpage
6. Maximum Overload
7. Power Within
1: Reaching Into Infinity
2: The Power Within
3: Maximum Overload
4: Valley Of The Damned
5: Sonic Firestorm
6: Inhumane Rampage
7: Ultra Beatdown
8: Killer Elite
8:49 someone please tell me what song this solo is from it slapps
I think it was supposed to be in Inside the Winter Storm (time in the song ~5:32/8:11), but just turned out a bit different on the final recording.
I'd like to see Vadim vs Rudess key-off.
Rudess can out perform him I bet. I doubt Vadim can play 13/8 or a complex 5 against 7 polyrhythm.
That one song.. the one no one got to hear..
Wowww sick!
I CRACKED THE CODE, THE SONG AT THE BEGGING AND AT 8:46 IS THE BEGINNING OF THE SOLO OF "INSIDE THE WINTER STORM" (Minute: 5:31)
i think 5:31 was heartbreak armageddon
@@clankerdevries yes, but I meant that, at 8:46 the song is Inside The Winter Storm at the minute 5:31
sam at 13:23 looks like the singer of coldplay just with long hair lol
9:04 oh no, Herman's 2nd string fail...
What is the name of the instrument the vadim uses in reasons to live at the beggining
nuke boy 920 I think there is a type of theremin
I know I'm late, but what music program did they use?
Pro tools I think?
What song was Sam playing before he said "well, that's me done for today."
The last Journey home
***** Thanks :)
13 50 sounds like dream theater
2:49 song title?
A Flame For Freedom
JPs voice = 😍😍😍
2:03 that sounds absolutely perfect. How come he sometimes sounded terrible live? He’s definitely got the talent and the voice to be perfect.
I think he was just drunk

@@heart_of_chrome yeah you right, at least they kinda revived the fire with marc, im just happy that dragonforce is still around and making music
@@bensroom Not really, Marc seems pretty dead on stage.
Ya'll did Vadim dirty
i prefer ZP over Marc
zp was awesome but i think marcs way better
Marc is more versatile though I don't think ZP cud have growled like him on Maximum Overload
Zippy has a way better sounding singing voice, also has way more charisma.
But I would say Marc is more technically proficient with his vocals.
Like you rarely see Marc majorly fuck up and is consistently great, Zippy was very inconsistent his lows were really rough but I will say when he was on his A game he was near god tier.

I like both
I like both, though when I saw them live, Zippy hit an ass-ton of sour notes
1:58 Hot Damn
