With hyperactive playing DragonForce strives onwards... I still remember the day when I first heard their debut album - and I've got to admit, back then I wasn't too impressed with their music. Instead I thought they were just another mediocre power metal band. Nevertheless, their latest album "Inhuman Rampage" shows maturement, and is actually their best album to date. The ridiculous speed still remains as one of their trademarks, but one should note power metal isn't to be taken too seriously.

In case you aren't too familiar with the music of DragonForce, I'll try to enlighten you. The band plays somewhat "traditional" power metal, although the tempo of their music is often greater than that of their rivals. One could actually say their music is hyperactive power metal. The material on this CD is fairly balanced, so there's some diversity to be found within DragonForce's music as well.

The production of this record has been handled quite well, although there's definitely some room for further enhancements. The recordings, however, are rather clean while the sounds are quite fitting. If you like your power metal served with rapidity, be sure to check out Inhuman Rampage. Although it isn't the best power metal album out there, it's definitely good enough to appease most power metal headbangers.
