Drum Hero

Have you ever played Guitar Hero 3? Did you play Through the Fire and Flames? Every try to beat it on Expert and succeed?

Today's song of the day features a man who not only can answer yes to all of those questions but can also claim he did so by playing it on a homemade midi drum kit. 

"Through the Fire and Flames" is easily the most difficult song in the Guitar Hero series. British power-metal band DragonForce, who were recently nominated for a Grammy in Best Metal Performance for "Hero of Our Time," formed in 1999 and have since been known for fast guitar solos.

Inhuman Rampage, the album containing today's song, was the third installment of studio albums by this group of rockin Brits. On August 20, 2008, they released their fourth album called Ultra Beatdown, from which "Hero of Our Time" was the first single. 

Rumor has it that, although their music sounds incredibly polished on their studio albums, they cannot necessarily play all of the notes they're supposed to.

Regardless, these guys can flat out shred. 

Ready. Set. Rock.
