Here's a fantastic new song from DragonForce, with additional orchestration by yours truly, at orchestralmetal.com. Produced by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios, Sweden. The album 'Reaching Into Infinity' will be released on the 19th of May.

I enjoyed working on this track, combining 8-bit electronic sounds with the pizzicato strings to pay homage to the computer-game soundtrack vibe that DragonForce are known for, but in the surprising and refreshing context of a orchestral metal ballad.
The strings in the final chorus dance around the beat with their wide interval leaps, making a soaring melody that compliments the band's groove quite effectively (if I might say so myself!).
