3.5/5 On her 12th solo album, German metal maiden Doro Pesch sounds more assured than ever, particularly as a songwriter on these 13 taut, Teutonic tunes. Doro and her band are particularly effective in thrash mode here, blazing through headbanging maelstroms such as "Rock Till Death," "Take No Prisoners," and "Revenge," while Ozzy guitarist Gus G puts a little extra crank into the bouncy "Grab The Bull (Last Man Standing)...

Perhaps still the reigning queen of melodic metal, Doro Pesch releases her seventeenth studio album Raise Your Fist, now on the Nuclear Blast label. Doro: lovely in leather. Here's the great things about Doro. (No, metal dude, I'm not going to start with the obvious, that she's attractive.)

"If there were ever any doubts that Doro is less mighty than an Amazon warrior, one listen to the opening track, 'The Night of the Warlock,' lays those to rest." Any fan of female-fronted metal knows the name Doro. Doro Pesch began her career twenty-five years ago as the founder and vocalist of cult-favored German metal band Warlock. Doro became the first female lead vocalist of a metal band, and to this day, is referred to by her fans as the "Queen of Metal...

It's hard to believe but last year heavy metal heroine Doro Pesch celebrated 25 years in the business. At the young age of 44, she's both an icon and a survivor always delivering the goods with strength and stamina. Even with the most cursory listen to her latest, Fear No Evil, you know this gal isn't slowing down one bit. Doro and band bring fundamental melodic heavy metal on Fear No Evil...
