‘Inhuman Rampage’ left the press in a state of critical meltdown. “While most bands want to be bigger than Metallica, DragonForce have the capacity to exceed Star Wars,” gushed the UK’s Metal Hammer magazine. “How DragonForce will ever top this album remains to be seen,” agreed its gobsmacked sister title, Classic Rock. “It makes Manowar sound like St Winifred’s Girls School Choir.” Kerrang! had already got in on the act, declaring: “DragonForce are only getting bigger. Prepare for the onslaught.”

The six-man wrecking crew will have notched up 3 World Tours, including North America no less than four times for ‘Inhuman Rampage', winning kudos from peers and influences alike, accumulating several shelves full of awards along the way, and sending audiences wild with an explosive musical style that features the band members favourite elements from all styles of music from rock, metal all the way to early 90's video games music; a unique style that in the absence of anything more descriptive they like to call ‘extreme power metal'.

2007 started nicely with Herman Li receiving an invitation to perform as special guest with guitar legend Steve Vai at the Ibanez Jem/RG model 20th Anniversary show in Hollywood , California . As well as playing on Steve Vai's set, Herman shared the stage on the evening all star jam with guitar heroes such as Joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert, Tony MacAlpine and Andy Timmons.

“The entire the British tour sold out,” marvels a smiling Li. “That was incredible. But if there's a reason for all this success – apart from the work we put in on the road – it's because we're selfish and stubborn. We write the music that we want to hear; the opinions of others are irrelevant to us.”
