La música alternativa es uno de los estilos musicales más populares a nivel internacional. El rock alternativo fue producido como una alternativa a la música a finales de los 80 y principio de los 90. Siendo en esta última década donde alcanza gran aceptación por parte de los amantes de la música, y esto se debió en gran medida a la colaboración de bandas punk de los años 70 y 80. La baja en popularidad del rock alternativo fue debido a la sobresaturación del mercado causado por los ejecutivos de compañías disqueras quienes solo pensaban en ganar plata.
Formada el año 1999 a partir de los remanentes de una banda de Black Metal llamada Demoniac y de otras agrupaciones, tomaron en un principio el nombre de "DragonHeart", que tuvieron que cambiar posteriormente debido a la existencia de de una banda brasileña con el mismo nombre, que también tocaba Power Metal.
Bajo el nombre de DragonHeart sólo sacaron un Demo llamado 'Valley of the Damned'. Un tiempo después, y bajo el nombre de Dragonforce, 'Valley of the Damned' fue editado como disco completo.
Close your eyes, hear the thunder and rain
Fear inside of the torturing pain
For the cries of the world and the last lives remain
Chain your heart, swear to the for their gain
Deep inside slowly fading away
And the last breath remains, and the fear turns to rage!
Locked in a world by the fallen evil souls
Torn right apart for your life insane
Burning in my mind now to bring my life to hold
Reach out and die in the flames
See through the lies and their ever staring eyes
Now is the time to defend your ground
Destiny will call to remind us all now
Fly free so far from here this life we know will end
In dreams of everlasting pain the fallen now rise again
Through the fire, through the flames, like the sun will rise again
Lost in time, lost in space, to the end of all their days
See their endless ways, insanity
The quest deranged, not meant to be
In flames will now forever burn, eternally
So free your heart, leave your life far behind
In the cold of winter skies escape the pain inside
Now feel your soul lost in seas of all eternity
Every day this life defending, and the flames of youth not ending
In a lifetime, searching, we must fight through the eternal pain
So alone in a world far away
Memories of a dream will remain
As the world falling calls and our lives all in vain
Fire in my soul will forever rise again
Nothing in my mind to remember now
Broken by the fear of the dark night calling
Ride free on endless seas, the final curtain falls
Cut the ground from down below
The time to lock and to load
Through the fire, through the rain, far across the distant plains
Feel the wind beneath the steel, as your mind becomes insane
Save the pain from all humanity
That rides throughout our destiny
For freedom now we rise for all again
So free your heart, leave your life far behind
In the cold of winter skies escape the pain inside
Now feel your soul lost in seas of all eternity
Every day this life defending, and the flames of youth not ending
In a lifetime, searching, we must fight through the eternal pain
[Solos: Herman/Sam/Herman/Vadim/Herman/Sam]
So free your heart, leave your life far behind
In the cold of winter skies, escape the pain inside
And when the memories are all but left behind
And the days have gone forever, lost within my mind
Now feel your soul burn in seas of all eternity
Every day this life defending, and the flames of youth not ending
In a lifetime, searching, we must fight through the eternal pain
