they're guitarrists for a band called Dethklok, a... *cough* ficticious *cough* band on the show Metalocalypse. Skwisgaar is the lead guitarrist playing a Gibson Explorer and Toki is the rhthym guitarrist playing a Gibson Flying Vee.

Fastest band? Not when every note they play is a screwup. It doesnt matter if you can play at the speed of light when its SLOPPY.

Epic? Doesnt sound very epic to me. Mediocre power metal bands are more "epic" than dragonforce. You want epic power metal, its time for some wintersun. at least they can play their songs live.

And actually, i like one of their songs, its "valley of the damned". But i cringe when i hear the pathetic shitfest of a solo. And try counting how many of their songs have the singer sing a little line solo, right after the guitar solo. It gets old really fast.

Holy crap, that IS fast! - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oii1EF7DnFM

Just about everything they pride themselves in, many bands do it better. Really hard solos? I think of Nevermore, Stratovarius, Symphony X, COB, Wintersun.. Theres a whole list of them, and i'm still staying in the power metal subgenre. Technicality? I really dont need to list it out. Epic? Just about any power metal band. I have no idea how they can advertise themselves as "extreme power metal" without being embarassed. Whats so extreme about them?

lol, YES, i didn't want to bring up Wintersun again without sounding monotonous, but THATS EPIC, and frankly, that's GREAT musicianship on part of Jari Maenpaa.

You want great musicianship? listen to Norther, Ensiferum, Solefald, Wintersun, etc.
Similar band to Dragonforce that pulls off power metal much better? leave it to the vets like Blind Guardian.
