In March 2010, the group [[Creative Differences|parted ways]] with singer ZP Theart.

Line 82:
* [[Manly Tears]]: DragonForce's songs use the words 'tears' and 'cry' within their lyrics frequently, but this has more to do with the fantastical, over-the-top and epic settings and situations they sing about than trying to pull [[Tear Jerker|Tear Jerkers]] from their audience.

Line 92:
* [[Rated "M" for Manly]]: Even Chuck Norris sheds a manly tear when ''Starfire'' plays, and their themes are about war and heroes and other hypermasculine pursuits.
