Dorothee Pesch, known as DORO in the world of music,
became most popular in the second half of the 1980s with
her founding of WARLOCK. At that time, men dominated the
heavy metal scene. She built a stable position on the scene
within a very short period. She gained the respect of her fellow
musicians from the very beginning. In various corners of the
world, she created a very strong fan base immediately after
the release of her debut album Burning the Witches (1984); her
fans have remained loyal to her to date. WARLOCK released
their first 3 albums in Europe. This was quickly followed by
their first major successes, but disappointment also followed
afterwards. DORO recorded her third album under pressure.
She yearned for a change and pursued her next dream. She
embarked on a fateful journey to New York, where she worked
on her next studio album. She signs a recording contract with
the American record label Mercury Records and her popularity
skyrockets. For DORO, the album Triumph and Agony (1987)
meant an absolute turning point in her life and, at the same
time, it turned out to be the most successful album of her
career. MTV, the biggest music station in the world, started
airing two songs from Triumph and Agony – the rock anthem
“All We Are” and the German-English ballad “Für Immer.” For
the fans, she became the Queen of heavy metal music. She
gets offers to participate in big world tours and the biggest
festivals. In 1986, she performed as the first female musician
ever with the biggest rock bands in the world at the legendary
Monsters of Rock Festival in Donnington, UK in front of 120,000
rapturous fans. DORO manages to do something that many
musicians, not just in Europe, secretly dream of. Something
that no other European rock/metal singer has achieved until
now. Thanks to her incredible merchandise sales, she enjoys
