The songs "Heartbreak Armageddon", "The Fire Still Burns" and "A Flame for Freedom" were all played on 106.1 Rock Radio during an interview with ZP Theart on 15 July 2008.

The music video for "The Last Journey Home" premiered on the Xbox Live Network on 21 January 2009.

Before the release of Ultra Beatdown, the band members were interviewed upon the topic of the album's structure and deliverance.

Totman, Theart and Li all generally stated that the sound of Ultra Beatdown would not vary much differ from their previous records but would improve in some categories.

They had planned to carry out their world tour to Latin America in May 2009, but delayed their arrival to November 2009 due to the swine flu epidemic as well as "exhaustion" according to what Herman Li stated in an interview.

However, to make up for the false DVD, the band recorded the audio from every show on the final leg of the Ultra Beatdown World Tour to release the best cuts on a live compilation album.

"These recordings really capture the raw sonic energy of a Dragonforce show in fine detail.

The song "Heroes of Our Time" was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance, losing to Metallica's "My Apocalypse".

Not only does it aptly describe the nature of their hyperkinetic "extreme power metal," but also their vertiginous ascent from utter music community obscurity to new media, errr...juggernaut, when their breakthrough single, "Through the Fire and Flames," became first a YouTube sensation and later a keystone of the Guitar Hero video game phenomenon".
