DragonForce Discuss Second Far East Tour with Commentary by Guitarist Herman Li

British power metal band DragonForce have announced their second tour of the Far East for early April.

Their popularity in the Far East following their initial sold-out tour in 2007 in which they promoted their previous album, "Inhuman Rampage," took many by surprise, except Hong Kong born guitarist of DragonForce Herman Li. "I honestly always knew we would have agood shot at success in the Far East; the people there like a good show and appreciate good music. Many bands don’t pay enough attention to the various countries in that area of the world and I should know because Hong Kong is my homeland! To be honest it was difficult for us to do our first tour because all of us in the band knew the demands and expectations being made of our time in the US, Canada, UK, Europe, Japan and Australia, and the Far East tour came at the end of an eighteen-month-long world tour, but we all promised fans we would play there live and honoured that promise. This time around we are adding other countries as well. Obviously I’m looking forward to playing Hong Kong, but we’ll put on a great show for all the fans in China, Taiwan, Thailand and Singapore also! It will be great to be back!"
