Guitarist Herman Li shared:
“Twenty years is a long time to do anything, let alone survive the music industry and still be so inspired to continue doing what we love. Together we will honor what made Inhuman Rampage matter, while showing people exactly where we’re going next.”
New vocalist Alissa White-Gluz added:
“As a long-time fan of DragonForce, having seen them in concert multiple times over the last 20 years, I am beyond excited to be bringing such iconic music to life with these amazingly skilled musicians in such a fun and inspiring environment.”
She continued:
“It feels great to showcase all the colours of my voice in technically challenging, deeply energizing, highly addictive songs.”
Released in 2006, Inhuman Rampage became one of the defining modern power metal albums of its era, propelled by the breakout success of Through the Fire and Flames, which achieved massive mainstream recognition through rhythm games and viral guitar performances.
The anniversary run celebrates two decades of hyper-speed riffs, neoclassical shredding, and the band’s signature over-the-top melodic power metal sound.

The band promises additional new material previews during the tour, signaling the beginning of a new chapter following the legacy of Inhuman Rampage.
