Dragonforce – Metaldays 2016 – Tolmin, Slovenia – Day 5, Main Stage – July 29, 2016

This was such a special, emotional performance because the Dragonforce vocalist Marc Hudson was told by his doctor that he could not perform today, so Dragonforce actually called up PelleK, whom they interviewed for a vocalist position for their band 6 years ago, but didn’t hire. However, tonight, he was flown in at the very last minute to save the day (or night, perhaps – as they were a headliner!) and it was such a special moment being able to watch the band explain what happened, and watch the vocalist read off the lyrics, all while hitting every note. Then again, the Norway vocal superstar is well-known for his four-octave singing range, and has 200 million YouTube subscribers to his channel. He really did a fantastic job at the last minute!
