Part two of a three-part interview with the members of DRAGONFORCE about their new album, “Reaching Into Infinity”, can be seen below. In this clip, the musicians talk about the the songwriting, recording with drummer Gee Anzalone for the first time and funny moments on stage.
“Reaching Into Infinity” will be released on May 19 via earMUSIC on CD, LP and a special-edition CD and DVD. The follow-up to 2014’s “Maximum Overload” marks the band’s third full-length studio release with singer Marc Hudson, who joined the group in 2011 following the departure of original frontman ZP Theart (now in SKID ROW).
The bulk of the recording sessions for “Reaching Into Infinity” took place at Fascination Street studios in Örebro, Sweden with producer Jens Bogren, who has previously worked with OPETH, THE DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT, AMON AMARTH, KATATONIA, SOILWORK and SYMPHONY X, to name a few. The band also laid down tracks while touring their “Killer Elite” best-of album, utilizing Lamerluser Studios in London, U.K.; Dark Lane Studios in Witney, U.K.; as well as the band’s own Evil1 Studios in Charleville-Mézières, France and Shredforce One Studios in California.
“We were flying out, playing a festival, then back into the studio, then back out again,” explained DRAGONFORCE bassist Frédéric Leclercq, who also handled the majority of songwriting on this album. “It was very intense and very tiring. I obviously played bass but also a lot of rhythm guitar, electric and acoustic, and lost my temper a few times. I think we all did at some point, because we wanted to deliver nothing but the best.”
For their seventh studio album, DRAGONFORCE have opened up their sound like never before, capturing the fierce, forlorn and fun with both menace and melody.
“I think we have proven that playing fast was something we were good at, so this time I wanted to bring even more diversity into our music,” Frédéric continued. “It’s great to challenge ourselves instead of staying in a comfort zone, and I really wanted to experiment with Marc‘s vocals. I think people are going to be surprised at his brutality.”
“Reaching Into Infinity” is DRAGONFORCE‘s first album to feature Gee Anzalone, the Italian drummer who has laid down an insanely impressive performance to provide the perfect backbone to the DRAGONFORCE sound, which, of course, still boasts the bands trademark crazy-fast solos, courtesy of guitarists Herman Li and Sam Totman.
“The title of the album explains pretty much what we are trying to do with our music,” Frédéric concluded. “Today’s world is really crazy — there is fear of the future, uncertainty. But the power of music is infinite, and it can give strength and hope to people.”
