Metal Epic Eneas: DragonForce - Maximum Overload (2014)
.jpg)
DRAGONFORCE released their sixth full-length album entitled "Maximum Overload", on August 18th, 2014 in Europe via earMUSIC, the Hamburg, Germany-based international rock label which is part of Edel Group and August 19th, 2014 in North America via Metal Blade. The CD was recorded at Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden with Jens Bogren, who has previously worked with OPETH, THE DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT, AMON AMARTH, KATATONIA, SOILWORK and SYMPHONY X, to name a few. It marks the band's first-ever album involving an outside producer, having historically opted to record themselves in association with Karl Groom.
"Working with Jens gave us a different perspective on the songs and a different sound dynamic," said DRAGONFORCE guitarist Herman Li. "We always previously recorded in our own studios, but recording in Sweden made us focus and maybe drove us harder. Jenscertainly did; he doesn't believe in days off!"
He continued: "The album title and album cover artwork is inspired by the constant bombardment of information we are subjected to during our daily lives.
"We were in an airport departure lounge surrounded by TV screens, flight information screens and advertising screens. We then looked around and no one was saying a word, they were all looking at more screens on tablets, laptops and mobile phones. There's no escaping it; it's complete information overload!"
"Maximum Overload" will be released on standard CD, standard digital version, special edition CD with five bonus tracks and a bonus DVD, special edition digital version (same bonus material as special edition CD), and vinyl. The effort features a couple of surprises, notably a guest appearance on some of the songs from TRIVIUM's Matt Heafy.
"We've always gotten on really well with the TRIVIUM guys and it was great when Matt had a couple of days to spare and agreed to weigh in on some of the songs," saidDRAGONFORCE bassist Frédéric Leclercq.
"Maximum Overload" also features an all time first for DRAGONFORCE... a cover version! Guitarist Sam Totman explained: "Just before the last Australian tour, our manager suggested it might be interesting to do a cover for the next album, something we've always refused even to consider. Because we had all had a couple beers, every bandmember wrote down three songs each and we compared them all, just for a laugh. I wrote down 'Ring Of Fire' by Johnny Cash, an idea which the rest of the band loved, so we've DRAGONFORCE-ized it."

LYRICS
This timeless story through the end of times
where my love was so great that I had to cross borders and eras.
From a world of battles until this cold reality
I hope you come back,
a lifetime with you makes sense of this eternal curse.
I was born to meet you and miss you,
seek you and find you,
There’s no life enough to dream.
Nor is there time to love you,
to comfort the life that you leave
when you’re gone.
What is my price to pay to live forever?
In view over the years if you are not by my side.
And that helps me see the birth of life
if I don’t have you in my hands, in my hands.
I was born to meet you and miss you,
seek you and find you,
there’s no life enough to dream.
Nor is there time to love you,
To comfort the life that you leave
when you’re gone.
Once again, I failed again,
in breaking this curse that will never end…
Hating my immortality!
I was born to meet you and miss you,
seek you and find you,
there’s no life enough to dream.
Nor is there time to love you,
To comfort the life that you leave
when you’re gone.
Past, present and future are in you.
I’ll fight for our eternity,
through the end of times.
