The video for the CD’s first single, “Temptation”, can be seen HERE. The clip was directed by Patrick Fogarty, who has previously worked with BLACK VEIL BRIDES, PICTURE ME BROKEN and THE BURNING OF ROME.

Of the new album, Sebastian Bach enthused: “I could not be more proud of the new CD, ‘Give ‘Em Hell’. As a rock music fan myself, I listen to it every single day. As a musician, I honestly feel like I have reached a new level of album recording...

DragonForce will embark on a massive 20 date UK & Ireland tour in September under the tagline: “….this time it’s personal,” alluding to the fact that instead of playing a handful of larger venues the band are playing many shows geographically spread out across the country.
