🔥 A Powerhouse Collab Against the Odds
In an electrifying twist, DragonForce has tapped Arch Enemy’s powerhouse vocalist Alissa White‑Gluz to re-record their hit “Burning Heart.” Her sharp, dynamic growls elevate the classic track into a modern juggernaut—blending DragonForce’s lightning-speed riffing with her signature melodic ferocity.
Initial fan reactions online highlight: “The version with Alissa is fire for me. Her clean vocals go so well with it.”
This crossover is part of the recently released Alliance bonus disc, which also features guest spots from Matt Heafy, Elize Ryd, and others reddit.com. The duo’s chemistry breathes fresh urgency into the song for both longtime devotees and new listeners alike.
🎸 Band’s Perspective & Creative Vision
DragonForce guitarist Herman Li shared in a February 19 interview: “I’m in the happiest time I can remember a band… Alicia’s been the band for more than four years now… every lineup change had to be done.”
Li’s reflections underscore the band’s current creative unity and experimentation—including bold collaborations like Alissa’s vocal takeover on “Burning Heart.”
