Inhuman Rampage is the third studio album by English power metal band DragonForce, released on 28 December 2005 via Noise Records. Its first single, 'Through the Fire and Flames', has received rock radio and Fuse TV airplay, and has appeared as a playable track on the video games Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock and Rocksmith 2014 Edition – Remastered. It is the band's first album to feature harsh vocals, which were recorded by Demoniac vocalist Lindsay Dawson; the album is also the last to feature bassist Adrian Lambert, who left the band in 2005 and was replaced by Frédéric Leclercq before the album's release.
In the United States, Inhuman Rampage reached no. 1 on the BillboardHeatseekers chart and no. 103 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry for selling over 60,000 copies in the United Kingdom[4] and has sold over 350,000 units in the United States.[5]Metal Hammer included the album in their 2016 list of ten essential power metal albums.[6]
Production[edit]
The recording for the album took place at Thin Ice Studios in Surrey and LamerLuser Studios in London between February and September 2005 and during the recording of 'Through the Fire and Flames' guitarist Herman Li snapped one of his guitar strings.[7] Despite this, the band decided to keep this recording and left it on the final album version.[7] It was then mixed at Thin Ice Studios by Karl Groom, Sam Totman, Li and Vadim Pruzhanov and engineered by Karl Groom and Li. The mastering was performed by Eberhard Köhler at Powerplay Mastering in Berlin, Germany. A music transcription book was released for the album on 15 September 2008 by Hal Leonard Publishing Corporation (ISBN9781423433484).
