Sonic Firestorm is the second studio album by English power metal band DragonForce, released through Noise Records on 11 May 2004. It is the first album to feature bassist Adrian Lambert and drummer Dave Mackintosh.
This album features the song, "Soldiers of the Wasteland", which includes the longest guitar solo section on any of their songs. At 9 minutes and 47 seconds in length, it was DragonForce's longest song for 13 years, until it was surpassed by the 11-minute "The Edge of the World" from the 2017 album, Reaching Into Infinity.
Sonic Firestorm was rereleased on 22 February 2010, along with the remastered and remixed version of Valley of the Damned. It also came with the bonus track "Cry of the Brave" which was originally on the Japanese version of the album.
The recording and mixing for the band's second album took place at Surrey's Thin Ice Studios, from 6 October to 10 December 2003. All the guitars were recorded at Herman Li's LamerLuser Studios in London.
