The way we approached working things out was really different to the previous album. “You got the musical side there, but you also have to be able to work with the singer of course. The new songs have low range and high range, so they had to be able to pretty much cover everything. They had to be able to sing all the old songs well as well as the new stuff too, but I guess the old stuff is actually in a different style in some ways. Of course they had to sing well, and had to have a good sense of melody. There were so many things we were looking for. “We pretty much approached singers from other bands that we like, and also had a few sending us auditions. “Since DragonForce has been around for awhile, we thought the best way to look for a singer was to do a worldwide search,” explains Herman Li, lead guitarist and co-founder of DragonForce. Musical differences were cited behind the parting at the time, though DragonForce sadly doesn’t wish to discuss ZP’s departure due to legal concerns. The departure of frontman ZP Theart from United Kingdom-based power metallers DragonForce was confirmed in early March 2010 following an 11-year stint, the man having lent his voice to the albums Valley Of The Damned (February 2003), Sonic Firestorm (May 2004), Inhuman Rampage (January 2006), and Ultra Beatdown (August 2008).
