British power metal favorites DragonForce have turned up the heat on their North American ‘Extreme Power Metal Tour‘ with the addition of some proverbial Greek ‘fire’. Newly announced for that bill is Greek power metal outfit, Firewind, who will be playing a 20th anniversary best-of set and more each night.
They are taking the place of Battle Beast on the trek, who said in a statement issued today (February 09th,) that, “…under present circumstances it has become impossible for Battle Beast to go on with the planned North American tour together with Dragonforce.”
Visions Of Atlantis and Seven Spires will remain as openers for the tour, dates for which can be found below. Speaking of the roster change for the tour, DragonForce guitarist herman Li stated:
“Unfortunately, due to unexpected circumstances, Battle Beast is no longer able to make it on tour. We will miss them, but we are beyond excited to share the stage with our good friends in Firewind. Firewind is legendary, Herbie Langhans has an incredible voice, and Gus G is one of the best guitarists around today. I can’t wait to hear Firewind‘s 20th Anniversary set, I know the fans are going to love it.”
