Herman Li wants to reunite DragonForce’s 'Inhuman Rampage' lineup for album’s 20th anniversary

During a recent livestream, guitarist Herman Li expressed interest in reuniting DragonForce's Inhuman Rampage lineup to celebrate the album's 20th anniversary in 2026. This includes vocalist ZP "Zippy" Theart.

Li said the following about playing Inhuman Rampage in full on a headlining tour:

Why is it good? Well, first we've gotta play 'Through The Fire And Flames' not last. That would be a great change. And I do like those songs. I think they're great songs. I'd love to play some of them again. Of course, we played 'Revolution Deathsquad' recently. We've been playing… Oh, shit. That's right. 'Cry For Eternity' will be on it. Is 'Cry For Eternity' on that album? Yes. Well, that's the bad thing. I've gotta learn that song finally — I've gotta shut up and learn it. But 'Operation Ground And Pound', we played that song, we played 'Body Breakdown', we played all those songs before. So it shouldn't be too hard to learn mainly, and it would be kind of cool.

I'll ask the people that were part of that tour lineup to see if they would do it too. So we will see what result I'll get. But I have started asking people to see if they wanna be part of it.

Life has changed for a lot of people that was once on that tour lineup. So, we'll see what happens. But I'm telling you, I will ask them, I will talk to them. If this doesn't happen with them, it's not my fault. I have asked them. So, that's the plan.

So we're still in the early stage of planning. We'll see if we can get a tour for that too.

He continued after asking fans if they would rather have a new album or an Inhuman Rampage tour:

This is interesting. I'm putting this in my mind. I'm calculating what this all means. Well, from what it seems from the chat right now in my mind is you guys don't give a fuck about us making any more new songs. That's right. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. But it seems like a lot of people wanna see 'Inhuman Rampage' being played from beginning to the end.

He also added the following about Theart:

We will ask Zippy to see if he wants to be part of it. That's all I can say. What's the probability of him being on that tour, that he would like to do it? Mm, I don't know. We'll find out. Like I said, people's lives change — one minute they wanna do it, one minute they don't wanna do it. I don't know. Maybe they wanna do it again. Maybe next they don't wanna do it. But we'll see. If not, we've gotta find a way to do it.
