Inhuman Rampage is the third studio album by British power metal band DragonForce, released first on 28 December 2005[4] in Japan, and 9 January 2006 elsewhere, through Victor Entertainment and Roadrunner Records, respectively. Its first single, "Through the Fire and Flames", has received rock radio and Fuse TV airplay, and has appeared as a playable track on the video games Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, Rock Band 3, and Rocksmith 2014 Edition – Remastered. It is the band's first album to feature harsh vocals, which were recorded by Demoniac vocalist Lindsay Dawson; the album is also the last to feature bassist Adrian Lambert, who left the band in 2005 and was replaced by Frédéric Leclercq before the album's release.

In the United States, Inhuman Rampage reached No. 1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart and No. 103 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album was certified Silver by the British Phonographic Industry for selling over 60,000 copies in the United Kingdom[5] and has been certified Gold in the United States. Metal Hammer included the album in their 2016 list of ten essential power metal albums[6] and Loudwire ranked it as the 24th best power metal album of all time.[7]
