Earlier this week, DRAGONFORCE announce dtheir tenth studio album, ‘DragonForce’, out March 19, 2027 via Napalm Records. Alongside freshly united lead vocalist and frontwoman Alissa White-Gluz and vocalist Alessio Garavello, longtime members Herman Li, Sam Totman, Gee Anzalone, Alicia Vigil and new addition Billy Wilkins together take their biggest step forward, elevating new sides to each of their artistry and virtuosic prowess, while building on all of the elements that have made DRAGONFORCE so beloved for nearly three decades and counting. Harkening back to their formative material, DragonForce promises high energy, relentless speed and heavy, triumphant hooks, all woven in ways unlike anything fans have heard from them before. In celebration of the album announcement, the band now releases the first single and video, for the song “Hunger of the Beast”.
Watch “Hunger of the Beast” below.
“Hunger of the Beast” is available now exclusively on YouTube alongside its official music video. The song will be released worldwide across all streaming platforms on Thursday, September 24, 2026.
Produced, recorded, mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren, the tenth studio album is driven by the uncompromising musicianship and technical precision that have always defined DRAGONFORCE.
DRAGONFORCE on the new album:
“Every time we begin making another album, we just think, ‘Wow – I can’t believe we’re still doing what we love after all these years.’ The approach of the tenth album is as important as the first one, or any of the albums, because the way we look at music is we’re making a piece of art that’s going to be frozen in time,” says DRAGONFORCE co-founder and lead guitarist Herman Li. “We always try to use everything we’ve learned from our years of experience, and put that into the new music. This is unlike any DRAGONFORCE album you’ve ever heard, and unlike any metal albums out there. There’s just nothing like it, and everyone listening will realize that straight away. We’re not trying to be commercial. We’re not trying to be popular. We’re not trying to be famous. We make music because we want to make something that we love to hear and elevate our musicianship to the next level.”
“I have loved the entire process of making music with DRAGONFORCE. It’s great to connect with such elite musicians and work together to really bring out the best of our respective styles.” adds Alissa White-Gluz, who became DRAGONFORCE’s first frontwoman this past spring. “I think this new combo of speed and ferocity is refreshing and exciting. It’s going to be so much fun to perform live.”

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.”
