Doro

Unquestionably the queen of metal in Europe (and perhaps the world as well), Doro Pesch has parlayed her classic good looks and strong vocals into a stellar career for over 25 years now, as her first proper solo album came out in 1989. She got her start in the eighties with Warlock, a decent enough band in its own right, but one that soon evolved into her backing band, before making the official jump to solo career after four albums and never looking back. Her style has been and always will be traditional Euro-flavored hard rock/metal.

Recent album: Conqueress - Forever Strong And Proud, released on October 27, 2023.
