Power metal unit, Dragonforce, have shared a video for their new song, “Power of the Saber Blade,” originally composed for the VR game, Beat Saber, and featured on its Original Soundtrack 6. The track will be the fastest ever introduced in Beat Saber at 10.66 notes per second, and with a music video, drawing the listener into the Beat Saber universe. Dragonforce are also working up to the release of their next album, Warp Speed Warriors, as well as a co-headlining tour with Amaranthe, kicking off in February. Keep reading below for the new video and more information.

Dragonforce guitarist Herman Li says:
“It’s truly an honour for Dragonforce to create an exclusive track for Beat Saber, a game we are wholeheartedly passionate about. We hope fans will discover the exhilaration of ‘Power of the Saber Blade,’ finding it both enjoyable and challenging across all levels. We’re eagerly anticipating the skillful attempts on Expert+”
“Power of the Saber Blade” is part of the sixth installation of the Original Soundtrack, affectionately known as OST, which is a free release for all players. OST 6 will feature four songs, including other high-profile artists such as Lindsey Stirling, Camellia, and Far Out. All songs were exclusively composed for Beat Saber and will be world-wide premieres. Dragonforce has been a community request for a long time, so the Beat Games team is honored to have a completely original song by them in Beat Saber.
All OST songs (including OST 6) are Content ID free. This means that influencers, streamers and regular players can stream the songs without limitations or fear of getting copyright claims or strikes on social media or platforms like YouTube, Twitch, etc. None of the OST 6 songs are limited by UMPG restrictions, so tracks can be posted to any platform without limitations.
Herman Li on Warp Speed Warriors:
“After four years of creative incubation, we are beyond excited to release what we believe to be our most ambitious and grandiose record yet. This album showcases multiple facets of our artistic abilities, and we invite metal aficionados from every corner of the genre to discover something captivating within its layers. We can’t wait to share this chapter of our musical journey with you, it’s going to be epic!”
