DragonForce fills "Neverending Nightmare" with mannequins and guitar solos
Alissa White-Gluz moves from quiet singing to growls in a horror-styled video whose chapter list supplies its own running commentary.

DRAGONFORCE - Neverending Nightmare (Official Video)
The nightmare comes with jokes. DragonForce's "DRAGONFORCE - Neverending Nightmare (Official Video)" puts the band inside a decaying building full of mannequins, then gives the guitar solos a knowingly silly commentary in the chapter list.
The video drew nearly 200,000 views in a little more than half a day, already far beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for regular uploads. It arrives just ahead of the band's North American Inhuman Rampage anniversary tour, which starts November 13 with Alissa White-Gluz as frontwoman.
Here, White-Gluz sings in an ornate bedroom surrounded by mannequins, moving from quieter vocals into harsh growls. Elsewhere, trapped figures struggle through candlelit and industrial settings. Herman Li and Sam Totman play customized guitars with illuminated fretboard displays, bringing some arcade brightness into the abandoned-building gloom.
The description offers a second, much less sinister experience. A chapter asks whether anyone likes Dire Straits; later entries invite listeners to keep count of the solos. It also marks separate vocal sections for Alessio Garavello and White-Gluz before the final chorus.
Those details have become talking points in the comments: viewers single out the chapter jokes, Li and Totman's extended guitar work, and Garavello's history singing with Power Quest. Others pick up on White-Gluz's unexpectedly quiet opening. For all the horror scenery, there is plenty here for listeners who came to inspect the playing.
