Warp Speed Warriors is the ninth studio album by British power metal band DragonForce, released on 15 March 2024 through Napalm Records.[4] It is the first album with bassist Alicia Vigil following the departure of Frédéric Leclercq in 2019 and more than four years after the previous album Extreme Power Metal was released in September 2019, marking their longest gap between studio albums to date. It is also the band's shortest studio album, at 49 minutes and 7 seconds.
