**THE WORLD’S FASTEST BAND IS BACK WITH ALISSA WHITE-GLUZ ON VOCALS!**GRAMMY-nominated extreme power metal pioneers **DRAGONFORCE** announce their tenth studio album, ***DragonForce***, out March 19, 2027 via Napalm Records. 

Alongside freshly united lead vocalist and frontwoman **Alissa White-Gluz**and vocalist **Alessio Garavello**, longtime members **Herman Li**, **Sam Totman**, **Gee Anzalone**, **Alicia Vigil** and new addition **Billy Wilkins** together take their biggest step forward, elevating new sides to each of their artistry and virtuosic prowess, while building on all of the elements that have made **DRAGONFORCE** so beloved for nearly three decades and counting. 

Harkening back to their formative material, **DragonForce** promises high energy, relentless speed and heavy, triumphant hooks, all woven in ways unlike anything fans have heard from them before.With *“Hunger of the Beast”*, **DRAGONFORCE** unleash the first single from ***DragonForce*** and offer the first taste of their new era. Rapid-fire guitars, driving drums, infectious melodies and the combined energy of two exceptional vocalists meet the virtuosic guitar work of Herman Li and Sam Totman. 

Written specifically for the multiple dimensions and double-sided skillsets of White-Gluz and Garavello’s ferocious range, the song serves as the first taste of the forthcoming album, immediately showcasing the new dynamic at the heart of the band.

**Watch The Official Music Video For *“Hunger Of The Beast” below:***

  
*“Hunger of the Beast”* is available now exclusively on YouTube alongside its official music video. The song will be released worldwide across all streaming platforms on Thursday, September 24, 2026.

***DragonForce*** consciously brings back some of the raw energy and intensity of **DRAGONFORCE**’s early records while pushing those elements forward through the new lineup. *“Neverending Nightmare”* continues the high-speed assault with captivating melodies and virtuosic guitar work, while *“The White Wolf”* reveals another facet of the new material, combining melodic power metal with explosive instrumentation and monumental guitar work. Produced, recorded, mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren, the tenth studio album is driven by the uncompromising musicianship and technical precision that have always defined **DRAGONFORCE**.

**DRAGONFORCE on the new album:**  
“*Every time we begin making another album, we just think, ‘Wow – I can’t believe we’re still doing what we love after all these years.’ The approach of the tenth album is as important as the first one, or any of the albums, because the way we look at music is we’re making a piece of art that’s going to be frozen in time,”* says **DRAGONFORCE** co-founder and lead guitarist **Herman Li**. *“We always try to use everything we’ve learned from our years of experience, and put that into the new music.* 

*This is unlike any *DRAGONFORCE* album you’ve ever heard, and unlike any metal albums out there. There’s just nothing like it, and everyone listening will realize that straight away. We’re not trying to be commercial. We’re not trying to be popular. We’re not trying to be famous. We make music because we want to make something that we love to hear and elevate our musicianship to the next level.”*

*“I have loved the entire process of making music with *DRAGONFORCE*. It’s great to connect with such elite musicians and work together to really bring out the best of our respective styles.”* adds **Alissa White-Gluz**, who became **DRAGONFORCE**’s first frontwoman this past spring. *“I think this new combo of speed and ferocity is refreshing and exciting. It’s going to be so much fun to perform live.”*
