During Li's solos, Totman stands to Li's left drinking. During the guitar solos, the camera focuses on Li and Sam Totman alone, with an inset shot of the current player's fretboard.
After the rapid intro riff, guitarist Herman Li holds onto his Ibanez S series guitar with just the whammy bar. The simple video primarily shows the band performing the song in a dark room illuminated by amber lights. For the video, a shortened version of the song was used, lasting only five minutes. The track was used in the first music video by DragonForce. Despite this, the band decided to keep this recording and left it on the final album version. Near the end of the recording, guitarist Herman Li broke one of his guitar strings. This song is written in the key of C minor (but in standard E tuning), and like most other DragonForce songs it is written in a fast tempo of 200 beats per minute with a common time signature (170bpm in the first half of the guitar solo). While the song had appeared as a background track in several video games, the inclusion of a playable version of "Through the Fire and Flames" in the rhythm game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock as one of the most difficult songs in the game helped to raise the popularity of the song, and it has appeared in numerous rhythm games since. It has sold 1.1 million copies in the United States alone and has been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. It also enjoyed briefly renewed popularity in March 2015 when a cover version (Tina S.) uploaded to YouTube became popular, sending the song to number 13 on the Rock Songs chart.
The song peaked at #86 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #61 on the Canadian Hot 100 in 2008, making it the band's only single to reach either chart.
It is known primarily for its rapid twin guitar solos by Herman Li and Sam Totman. The song was the lead single and opening track from DragonForce's third album, Inhuman Rampage. The song is acclaimed as the most successful song by the band. " Through the Fire and Flames", often abbreviated as TTFAF, is a song by British power metal band DragonForce.
