A lot of people hate the whole "really long songs, speed of light guitar work" thing, but personally I just think it's what they do. They have established their style and like them or not have definitely made a huge impact on the metal community. In a word, "Sonic Firestorm" is a decent and awesome album. It has some shortcomings as well. Considering the incredible and innovative solos, I would like to recommend it to every power metal head, and if you like swift solos, you can't miss it.

But is it stronger that Valley Of The Damned ? In some ways, Dragonforce upgrades a bit. The speed and the sound, yeah, it’s faster and sounds better – but the songwriting is not quite as strong this time around. Not as strong means: still strong enough, just not that strong. Remember, Valley Of The Damned was perhaps the best debut album since Angra’s Angels Cr. Favourite songs? Quite a few, the opener, My Spirit Will Go On is killer (the intro gives me a . feel for some reason), Above The Winter Moonlight.

Sonic Firestorm is Dragonforce's second album, which was released through Noise Records on May 11, 2004. Sonic Firestorm features Dragonforce's longest recorded song, "Soldiers of the Wasteland" at 9:46. This song also includes the longest guitar solo on any of their songs. The album was rereleased on February 22, 2010, along with the remastered and remixed version of "Valley of the Damned". It also came with the bonus track "Cry of the Brave" which was originally on the Japanese version of the album.

Exclusive discount for Prime members. Sample this album Artist (Sample). Sonic firestorm was can't easily be described indifferent from their debut album, valley of the damned unless you listen very closely to its overall rhythm. It has a much more complex guitar riffs and solos throughout the songs and faster vocals that arguably gave birth to the power metal genre early in the 2000s. The whole album is a solid and satisfactory artwork. 2 people found this helpful.
