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.
