about

Doro Pesch (full name: Dorothee Pesch, born 3 June 1964, Düsseldorf, Germany) is a female vocalist, formerly of the German heavy metal band Warlock and one of the few female singers of the 1980s heavy metal scene, which was primarily a male-dominated genre of music. After Warlock went through many line-up changes, Pesch was the only remaining original member of the band. After changing her record label, she released the fifth album as Doro, as the former label owned the trademark on the Warlock name. Pesch now pursues a solo career and lives in New York City. The 2004 album Classic Diamonds was a collaboration with The Classic Night Orchestra which reworked some of her earlier songs. Her latest album is Fear no Evil which was released in 2009. Originally, Pesch was a member of the group Snakebite, but in 1983 she left the band to join Warlock. In 1987, after Warlock's fourth album, Triumph And Agony, and after many line-up changes within the band, Doro Pesch remained as the only original member of Warlock. 1989 saw Warlock release its fifth album Force Majeure. Her ten year contract with Polygram expired in 1995, after which she signed with WEA (now Warner Music Group). In 1995, Doro made her acting debut on the German television program Verbotene Liebe (Forbidden Love). After the "Love Me In Black" tour in 1998, Doro parted ways with WEA and signed with SPV Steamhammer. She also signed a U.S. deal. In 2000 she sang a ballad with Lemmy called Alone Again on Calling The
