O DragonForce é uma banda inglesa de power metal que surgiu em 1999, após o fim da banda de black metal, o Demoniac. Todos os integrantes, exceto Lindsay Dawson, juntaram-se com ZP Theart e fundaram a banda, com o nome DragonHeart. Dois anos depois, eles tiveram que mudar o nome por causa do filme DragonHeart. Em 2008, foram nomeados ao Prêmio Grammy de "Prêmio Grammy de Best Metal Performance" pela canção "Heroes of Our Time", do álbum Ultra Beatdown.
Algumas características tornam o DragonForce uma banda difícil de se encaixar em qualquer rótulo, a começar pelos seus integrantes: três deles são egressos de bandas de black metal: os guitarristas Li e Totman fizeram parte do Demoniac, uma banda da Nova Zelândia, enquanto o baterista Dave Mackintosh gravou dois álbuns com os ingleses do Bal-Sagoth.
A música de DragonForce é caracterizada por rápidos solos de guitarra e teclado e letras fantasiosas. DragonForce pode ser classificado como uma banda de Extreme Power Metal e de Quest Metal(gênero musical referente a bandas de metal ou de algum subgênero do metal em que suas músicas possuam letras fantasiosas). Tanto Herman quanto Vadim usam sons de Video games em seus intrumentos. As letras são fantasiosas, cantadas em tons altos (mas nem sempre agudos); o baterista Dave toca com elementos da batida "metranca".
