Ada sedikit kecewa ...
Saat saya telat baca berita DRAGONFORCE menggelar show di Yogyakarta
pada 5 Mei 2017 lalu
Mungkin karena rutinitas membuat saya jadi tidak terlalu aware pada live music show
Dunia saya saat ini agak sedikit terbatas dengan berita seperti itu
Kasihan ya ...
Hahaha
Biarlah ... yang lalu biarlah berlalu
Saat ini saya ingin menulis tentang sosok group band asal Inggris ini

Seperti yang diinfokan Official Website mereka, grup yang dinominasikan sebagai band heavy metal melodius versi Grammy Award ini, merilis album ke-7 mereka, 'Reaching Into Infinity', pada tanggal 19 Mei 2017 lalu.
'Reaching Into Infinity' memperkenalkan drummer terbaru Gee Anzalone yang berdarah Italia.
Yang bergabung dengan band ini untuk koleksi 'best-of' pertama mereka, 'Killer Elite: The Hits, The Highs, The Vids', dirilis pada tahun 2016.
Sekaligus semakin menegaskan bahwa mereka adalah grup band aneka bangsa.
Herman Li berdarah Cina, Sam Totman sendiri adalah gitaris kelahiran London, Frédéric Leclercq berkebangsaan Perancis.
Sedangkan Marc Hudson sang vokalis asal Oxford dan Vadim Pruzhanov dari Ukraina.
Mereka dengan latar belakang berbeda-beda ... bersatu dalam satu tujuan ... ROCK MUSIC !!!
Kereeeen kan ....
Ini juga menjadi album DragonForce ke-3 untuk Marc Hudson,
yang telah memasuki tahun ke-6 bergabung di DragonForce.
Bahkan Marc semakin terlibat dalam penulisan lagu, terutama liriknya.
Sedangkan sebagian besar lagu ditulis oleh Frédéric dan Sam.
Berbicara secara musikal, 'Reaching Into Infinity' mengusung musik yang temponya lebih cepat dari album 'Maximum Overload'.
Sisi melodi lebih serius pula digarap.
Meskipin mereka juga tidak perlu meminta maaf atas dimasukkannya balada bergaya rock tahun 1980an berjudul 'Silence'.
Ada juga "The Edge Of The World" sebagai lagu terpanjang dari DragonForce yang pernah ada (durasi 11 menit),
Lagu ini menurut Herman sangat ambisius, memadukan vokal menggeram dari Hudson dan sisi musik yang berputar dan meliuk seperti ekor naga DragonForce.
Terkait dengan album terbaru ini, Herman Li menuturkan ...
"Kami telah membuktikan bahwa bermain cepat adalah sesuatu yang kami sukai,
jadi kali ini saya ingin membawa lebih banyak keragaman ke dalam musik kami,"
Fred menimpali bahwa
"Ini tantangan untuk kami keluar dari zona nyaman, dan saya benar-benar ingin bereksperimen dengan vokal Marc. Saya pikir orang akan terkejut dengan kebrutalannya."
Ok Guys ... Lets Rock The World
Ini dia "The Edge of The World" ...

CLOSE TO YOU Lyrics
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
Of golden starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
(Girls in town)
Follow you
(Follow you)
All around
(All around)
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
Of golden starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
(Girls in town)
Follow you
(Follow you)
All around
(All around)
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
(Why? Close to you)
(Why? Close to you)
(Haa, close to you)
(Why? Close to you)

I peeked in to say goodnight And then I heard my child in prayer And for me some scarlet ribbons, scarlet ribbons for my hair All the stores were closed and shuttered All the streets were dark and bare In our town, no scarlet ribbons Not one ribbon for her hair Through the night my heart was aching Just before the dawn was breaking I peeked in and on her bed, in gay profusion, lying there Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons, scarlet ribbons for her hair If I live to be two hundred, I shall never love one other Came those lovely scarlet ribbons, scarlet ribbons, for her hair
