It's a little sad that "Through the Fire and the Flames" is the only song by Dragonforce that normies are aware of because "The Warrior inside" is still like the greatest speedmetal song I have ever heard.
Like... "Through the Fire and Flames" is great, don't get me wrong, but "Warrior Inside" just hits different.

(they also did a speedmetal cover for "My Heart will go on" but I'm still trying to process that)
"I KNOW THIS ALBUM IS A BIG INSPIRATION TO THE WHOLE SCENE..."

VOICES FROM THE DARKSIDE: "What do you think of "Obsessed By Cruelty" these days? You once said it’s a really strange album…"
TOM ANGELRIPPER: "I know this album is a big inspiration to the whole scene… And I know a couple of SODOM fans who say that this was the best SODOM album ever. This time was really chaotic."

I remember when this 1986 @metalhammeruk (Germany) came out. I was thinking damn this is like a dream come true. It’s still unreal how you can make your own band in the garage find some local gigs to start playing clubs and somehow end up in a German top-tier Metal Magazine. Life is a trip and it’s been like a dream so far. At times it can also be a nightmare but that’s what makes it interesting #POSSESSED #MetalHammer#GasMetal #SpeedMetal #ThrashMetal #heavymetal (at Worldwide) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdQG3SdrLgO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

PIC INFO: Spotlight on Kirk Hammett ripping it up on his Flying-V during one of his earliest shows with METALLICA, c. mid 1983. 📸: ? Photo from the collection of Lars Ulrich [Never seen this one before, either].
No bullshit, from all the pictures I've ever come across of '83-'86-era METALLICA, Kirk has to be the guiltiest member of the band when it comes to the iconic "three skull" Dis-fathers tee, and that's a beautiful thing, period. He @$*%!# loved that tee!
