DORO Sings the new Wacken Hymn
Every nation in the world has its own hymn and
now one of the biggest metal festivals gets its own one as well.
This year the Wacken Open Air celebrates its 20th anniversary and
therefore a new song called “We Are The Metalheads” has been
written exclusively for the festival.
DORO will sing the new song which was written and produced by Olaf
Stern (Stern Entertainment Productions). “The lyrics and the music
of the song really reflect the ideas and the life of Heavy Metal
Fans. Heavy Metal means more than just listening to music – Heavy
Metal means to be free and it is about true feelings and values,”
says Stern.
Wacken Boss Holger Hübner adds: “DORO will sing the new song live
on July 31 in Wacken. She will perform it with Skyline, the band
my partner Thomas Jensen was in a couple of years ago. They will
reunite for this special and unique show. DORO really is the best
person to sing the song as she embodies everything the song is
about. She is a great singer and her voice will give the new hymn
a unique touch. The Fans will surely get shivers up and down their
spine.”
DORO is honored to sing the song. “It is a great song. I hope the
Fans will love it as much as I do. I can't wait to play it live
for the Fans at the Wacken Open Air.”
Those of you who didn't get a ticket for the festival (it is sold
out since December 2008) must not be too sad. DORO will play live
at the Wacken Rocks Festivals in Aurich and Rieden/Kreuth, Germany
in August where she will perform the new song “We Are The
Metalheads” as well.

Comments ARCH ENEMY frontwoman Angela Gossow: "I am so excited to rock hard with the one and only Mrs. Doro Pesch! She is not only my teenage idol ('All We Are' from WARLOCK was about the only song I liked at school disco!) and basically my neighbour (Cologne — Düsseldorf is right next to each other), but she is hands down one of the nicest, down-to-earth and most beautiful musicians I have met so far. I can hardly believe it's her '25 Years In Rock' anniversary — she is still as youthful as ever! She's got the power for sure! You don't want to miss out on this extraordinary event and maybe seeing me and Doro on a stage together! Make sure you get your tickets early!"
