According to the press release, “Wildest Dreams (DragonForce’s Version)”, is included as a bonus track on select editions of their anxiously anticipated upcoming album, Warp Speed Warriors, out on March 15, 2024 via Napalm Records!” Evidently, the band’s version of the song is so magnetic and enlightening that they have decided to include it in their album, which is a great way to recognize and appreciate Swift’s talents. As seen above, their version of the song is a lot more upbeat with instrumentation that makes the listener want to dance and feel extremely energetic.

In this manner, they are implementing elements of metal music in the cover which brings the song to life and adds another tone to it. 

The band is not the first to cover another artist’s song. In the industry, it is very common to cover other artists’ work as a way to recognize their talent but also to add new perspectives and elements into an already existing piece. In this case, Dragonforce effectively took the already successful song and transformed it into their style of metal.
