Production[]
The recording of Inhuman Rampage took place at Thin Ice Studios in Surrey and LamerLuser Studios in London between March and September 2005 and during the recording of "Through the Fire and Flames", lead guitarist Herman Li snapped one of his guitar strings. Despite this, Dragonforce decided to keep this recording and left it on the final album version. It was then mixed at Thin Ice Studios by Karl Groom, Sam Totman, Herman Li and Vadim Pruzhanov and engineered by Karl Groom and Herman Li. The mastering was performed by Eberhard Köhler at Powerplay Mastering in Berlin, Germany. Also, the album had Clive Nolan and Lindsay Dawson as guest backing vocals.
