DragonForce Set to Game of Thrones Rock Metal Shred Guitar Hero Beijing, Sep 4

Prepare for war, Beijing. DragonForce returns on September 4 to the Valley of the Damned Yugong Yishan, where dragons rule, in a sonic firestorm.

This is the group's third inhuman rampage in Beijing, having previously created fields of despair throughout the city in 2009 and again in 2011. This particular ultra beatdown is part of a birthday celebration for top Beijing metal magazine Painkiller, which is celebrating its 15th anniversary.

DragonForce has a particular draw in China, thanks to Hong Kong-born guitarist Herman Li, who seems to have the fastest fingers in the East and West. Herman's speed has landed the group's track "Through Fire and Flames" at one of the top levels of video game Guitar Hero.

Tickets for this invocation of the apocalyptic evil are RMB 260 in advance, or RMB 320 at the door. Buy them online or call 6215 9844 or 6404 2711. Rock on.
