Doro Pesch Prepares to Unleash 'Wild At Heart' EP
In a recent chat with TotalRock's Dawn Osborne at the raging Maid Of Stone festival in Maidstone, UK, German metal icon Doro Pesch confirmed the exhilarating news that she is gearing up to drop fresh tunes. With her signature passion, she declared, "Yes, yes. Got new music on the way. I think in November, December, I wanna put out a mini album, an EP." While she won't be unleashing a full-length opus just yet—thanks to her relentless touring schedule—this upcoming release, tentatively titled 'Wild At Heart', promises to satiate the hunger of her die-hard fans.
Doro's previous offering, 'Warriors Of The Sea', released through her own Rare Diamonds Production label, was a bold statement that showcased her unwavering commitment to her craft. It was a limited edition gem, featuring a liquid-filled vinyl that caught the eye of collectors, alongside a CD digipak and a vividly designed picture disc. This release followed the triumphant success of her 'Metal Queen Metal Cruises', where fans rallied to celebrate their devotion on the high seas, igniting the demand for more sonic assaults.
The title track of 'Warriors Of The Sea' quickly became an anthem among festival-goers, a testament to Doro’s ability to connect with her audience through powerful themes of strength and camaraderie. With nine additional tracks that delve into the realms of "Warriors" and "Cruise" motifs, the album was a treasure trove for collectors and metal enthusiasts alike, featuring rare studio cuts and electrifying live tracks from her sold-out 2024/2025 tour.
In March 2025, Doro was honored with a lifetime achievement award in Düsseldorf, her former hometown, presented by none other than Klaus Meine of SCORPIONS fame. This accolade recognized her indelible mark on heavy metal, as she shattered barriers since the '80s with her band WARLOCK. With over ten million albums sold and 3,500 concerts under her belt across 60 countries, Doro stands as a titan among female rock musicians.
As we edge closer to the release of 'Wild At Heart', Doro’s latest full-length album, 'Conqueress - Forever Strong And Proud', released in October 2023 via Nuclear Blast, only amplifies the anticipation. The Metal Queen is ready to reign supreme once again, and the metal world is here for it.
