Staying with metal, of sorts, Roadrunner Records have announced that they have signed 'extreme power metal' icons (apparently) Dragonforce for a new deal that will cover the UK, France, Australia and New Zealand. Confirming the deal, guitarist Herman Li told CMU: "We are very excited about signing to Roadrunner and look forward to working with one of the most respected rock labels in the world. This will give us the opportunity to take the band to the next level and beyond!"

27 Jan: Manchester Academy 2
29 Jan: Nottingham Rock City
