Metal heavyweights Dragonforce have announced details surrounding their upcoming sixth studio album Maximum Overload.

The LP is the first of the band's albums to be produced by an outsider, normally opting to record themselves alongside frequent collaborator Karl Groom. This time around though, they've enlisted Jens Bogren of Fascination Studios for the task, recording the album in Sweden. Bogren's previous credits include Soilwork, Katatonia and Opeth.

The record includes a surprise guest appearance from Trivium's Matt Heafy and a Johnny Cash cover, potentially making this one of the band's more unique releases in their long career that began in the late '90s.

Maximum Overload will be available via 3Wise Records on Friday 15 August.
