| Friday, January 14, 2011 - Metal Mind To Re-release Warlock titles, with bonus tracks | Warlock is without question one of the most prominent bands in the history of German heavy metal. This year, Metal Mind Productions are proud to present three exclusive re-releases of Warlock's amazing albums - Hellbound, True As Steel andTriumph and Agony, all of which capture the sheer essence of heavy metal, delivering fast and melodic riffs, intense drumming and stunning vocal performances by one of the best female metal singers of all times!
Their musical journey began in the early 1980's and came to a sudden stop in 1987, when the group's singer, Doro Pesch, was forced to continue her career under a new moniker.
After the recruitment of drummer Bobby Rondinelli (ex-Rainbow) and guitarist Jon Levin, Doro was ready to record Warlock's fifth LP. However, her plans were foiled by a law suit issued by the group's ex-manager who claimed the rights for Warlock's name. Surprisingly, he won and Doro, pressured by her record label, chose to continue her career under a new moniker. As DORO, the singer released many successful albums, the most recent being Fear No Evil from 2009.
In 2004, Doro reunited with the original members of Warlock for a few festival performances. Unfortunately, legal problems made it impossible for the band to continue using their original name. Warlock ceased to exist along with "Triumph and Agony", a title which proved to be an ironic metaphor of the group's future. Nevertheless, thanks to the exclusive re-releases of Hellbound, True As Steel and Triumph and Agony fans may once again revisit the golden years of Warlock - the years that brought the true quintessence of heavy metal. The albums will be available in a new digipak edition each limited to 2000 copies. Each title includes bonus tracks. Metal Mind Productions set the release date for 31st January 2011. |
