[edit] Overview
On February 2, 2012 the band revealed details about their forthcoming album on their Facebook page and later on the official website. They released the album cover, tracklisting and release date. It was also announced that four different editions of the album will be released: CD, Digital Download, LP and a limited edition box set.
Herman Li Stated:
The last two years have been the most fun we ever had making an album. Through writing, jamming and touring together, we have built this incredible energy and it has been fully captured on the new album. This time around we’ve really brought our metal side to the surface and made some of the best music of our career. From the fastest song we’ve ever recorded to the slower songs, and some things you would never expect from us, this is by far the most diverse DragonForce album yet.” Li added, “This is an exciting new era for DragonForce with Marc joining the band, so we figured this was an ideal time to take full control of our own destiny and establish our own record label for Europe. It’s all hands on deck running it, but a great buzz!”
On February 18th, the track "Fallen World" was streamed free on Metal Hammer's website.
