bdquoWorking with Jens gave us a different perspective on the songs and a different sound dynamic. We always previously recorded in our own studios but recording in Swedenmade us focus and maybe drove us harder, Jens certainly did, he doesnlsquot believe in days offldquo said guitar maestro Herman Li.bdquoThe album title and album cover artwork is inspired by the constant bombardment of information we are subjected to during our daily livesldquo Li added. bdquoWe were in anairport departure lounge surrounded by TV screens, fl ight information screens and advertising screens. We then looked around and no one was saying a word, they wereall looking at more screens on tablets, laptops and mobile phones, therelsquos no escaping it, itlsquos complete information overloadldquosbquoMaximum Overloadlsquo features a couple of surprises, notably a guest appearance on some of the songs from Triviumrsquos Matt Heafy. bdquoWelsquove always gotten on really well withthe Trivium guys and it was great when Matt had a couple of days to spare and agreed to weigh in on some of the songsldquo added Frederic Leclercq.The album also features an all time fi rst for DragonForce…..a cover version Sam Totman explained bdquoJust before the last Australian tour our manager suggested it mightbe interesting to do a cover for the next album, something welsquove always refused even to consider. Because we had all had a couple beers every band member wrotedown 3 songs each and we compared them all, just for a laugh. I wrote down sbquoRing Of Firelsquo by Johnny Cash, an idea which the rest of the band loved, so welsquove DragonForceized itldquo Dragonforce CD is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £5.35
