Your new favorite band.

DragonForceFrom the "Wowzers, I wish I could take credit for this, but I can't, because JP found it, and I think he's too embarassed to post it" department.

Huge amounts of crimped hair: check.
Lots of "flying v" guitars: check.
Rock jumps: check.
Drum kit with more drums than the drummer could possibly even use: check.
Dueling guitar solos: check.
Eddie Van Halen style finger-tapping: check.
Lyrics written like Meatloaf + Yes + Iron Maiden + Magic, The Gathering: check.
I mean, just look at the first words to be uttered:

On a cold winter morning, in the time before the light,
In flames of death's eternal reign, we ride towards the fight.

More double-bass drum than ever before used in one song: check.
Lots of synchronized lights: check.
Headbanging: hell yes.

Watch it. Listen to it. Love it.

DragonForce - Through the Fire and Flames.

If, for some strange reason, you get bored of the video, be sure to at least fast forward to approximately 3/4 of the song's duration. You'll find a shredding set of dueling guitar solos WITH picture-in-picture to watch the frenzied plectrum action.
