White-Gluz comments on the collaboration: “As a longtime DRAGONFORCE fan, it was such a fun experience to sing ‘Burning Heart’! This band knows no speed limits — even as a vocalist I found myself tripping over consonants trying to keep up. It was a refreshing challenge. I’m happy to be a part of such a cool song and video.”
DRAGONFORCE guitarist Herman Li adds: “Alissa has been one of my favorite metal vocalists for a long time. I’m thrilled that the stars aligned, allowing us to collaborate on this track. I believe ‘Burning Heart’ is the perfect song for Alissa to showcase her remarkable vocal range and her stunning performance has elevated the song to another level.”
