DORO
Conqueress - Forever Strong and Proud DLP SPLATTER

Nuclear Blast Records, ltd. white / black splatter double vinyl, etching on side D, gatefold, 2 inserts, Emerging from the explosion of heavy metal that began in the early ‘80s, DORO Pesch has been tireless in her devotion to the metal cause for four decades. In 2023, she celebrates 40 years of active service, with two special anniversary live shows (2.8. Headliner in Wacken, 28.10. big anniversary concert in Düsseldorf) and, most importantly, a brand-new studio album that looks certain to be regarded as one of her best. The fitting soundtrack for the big anniversary of the metal queen! "Conqueress - Forever Strong And Proud" is a big, bold heavy metal album. And it has long been a good tradition that DORO can win legendary heroes of rock for herself and her works. From Lemmy Kilmister, to Pete Steele of Type O Negative and Johan Hegg of Amon Amarth to Slash of Guns N' Roses - they all (and many more) have rocked on Doro albums. And now - for the anniversary album of the Metal Queen - Metal God Rob Halford of JUDAS PRIEST gave DORO the honor to record the immortal Judas Priest classic 'Living After Midnight' as a duet with her! "Conqueress - Forever Strong And Proud" also surprises with the ultra-catchy, absolutely hit radio rocker 'Bond Unending', a duet with Sammy Amara from German rock heavyweights Broilers. The diverse album is a lot of fun, as with the cool rocking 'Lean Mean Rock Machine', but also features dark, dramatic songs like the bittersweet 'Love Breaks Chains' and as another highlight 'Heavenly Creatures', which was born out of the artist's well-known love of animals. "Conqueress - Forever Strong And Proud" is the result of intensive, hard studio work that took the incomparable singer back to the studios of Miami, New York and Hamburg, among others. The album impressively confirms that DORO is more than ever at the peak of her creative powers, even after 40 years. No doubt: "Conqueress - Forever Strong And Proud" will conquer the hearts of fans and is already another milestone in the long and successful career of DORO.
