DragonForce is a British power metal band from London, assembled in 1999. The band's style is considered unique due to the considerably high tempo in which most of their songs are played, with extensive use of guitar and keyboard solos.

The band was originally assembled under the name of DragonHeart, but switched names to DragonForce due to possible trademark issues with a band with the same name. DragonForce's career began with the publishing of some of their songs on the first incarnation of MP3.com, claiming the top of the site's Heavy Metal charts. They have enjoyed increasing popularity over the years, publishing two albums and touring extensively, supporting Helloween, W.A.S.P. and Iron Maiden. Their most recent tour (as of 2005) in support of the Sonic Firestorm album included the band Angra in support, as well as Mendeed during their passage through the UK. On the 28th of October 2005, bassist Adrian Lambert announced his departure from the band to raise his young son. On the 23rd November 2005, it was announced that Dragonforce have signed to Roadrunner Records in the UK, France, Australia and New Zealand. Roadrunner will release the forthcoming album, Inhuman Rampage, on the 9th January, 2006 in the aforementioned territories.
