LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Rock scene for almost a decade. Inspired by bands like
Scorpions, Accept and Judas Priest, they turned into one of
the few successful female-fronted metal bands. Doro Pesch
quickly became the band’s spokesperson and on August
16, 1986 she was the first woman to front a band at the
legendary Monsters Of Rock festival at Castle Donington in
England, sharing the bill with such big names as Motorhead,
Ozzy Osbourne and Def Leppard.
True As Steel is Warlock’s third album (1986) and became
their highest charting record in Germany. The band made
their very first music video, for the single “Fight For Rock”
and thus gained rotation on MTV. US radio stations also
picked up on the single. However, towards the end of that
decade, Doro was the only remaining original member. On
top of that, the band’s former manager claimed the rights to
the band’s name and merchandise, thus forcing the singer
to continue under her own name.
