Live Photos: Dragonforce - Kings Arms Tavern, Auckland

Dragonforce frontman Marc Hudson suffered an arm injury and narrowly missed more serious damage after an incident that saw him jump out of a moving van in Brisbane, but he didn't let that stop the band's three-date tour of New Zealand. The long-standing British power metal group hit our shores for a whirlwind three-date tour in support of their seventh studio album Reaching Into Infinity over the weekend, with Hudson rocking a sling due to the injury.  

Before hitting Auckland, the lightning fast riff masters worked their way through Christchurch and Wellington, where they scooped up Bulletbelt and headed to The Kings Arms on Saturday for the final show of their three-stop tour. Photographer Thiago Amaral went along to the Saturday night and captured some shots of the two acts in action, check them out below...
