I have to say, the combination was incredibly fitting and not a bad way to spend a Thursday evening. Considering I would already be listening to the nerdiest Metal subgenre in existence, I thought I might as well throw the rest of my senses into the fire as well.

Incredibly vague as this explanation is, I have a nagging feeling that Theart wanted to push the band’s style in a new direction, and that this clashed with the creative forces of the rest of the band. Apparently the separation was due to “insurmountable differences of musical opinion”. A couple years ago, I was surprised to hear of ZP Theart’s departure from Dragonforce.
