DORO To Release Special 'Winter Edition' Of 'Warrior Soul' In November:
German hard rock singer DORO will release a special "winter edition" of her latest album, "Warrior Soul", on November 20 through AFM Records. Dubbed "20 Years A Warrior Soul", the set will include the regular album plus a bonus DVD featuring footage from Doro's December 2003 20th anniversary gig in Düsseldorf, Germany and a CD containing new/previously unreleased tracks. A special "fan box" will also be included, according to a posting on the AFM web site.
"Warrior Soul", was released
in North America in May via Locomotive Records. The CD was created in
Switzerland, Tennessee, New York and Germany; and inspired by her first feature
film role earlier this year in Luke Gasser's "Anuk - The Warrior's Way". The
sound returns Doro to the ways of her first band, WARLOCK, which she fronted to
forever change the face of modern metal music. It stands in perfect contrast to
her last opus, 2004's "Classic Diamonds", in which she stretched out to perform
decidedly non-metal ballads and mid-tempo rockers with a symphony orchestra.
Here — with bassist Nick Douglas, guitarist Joe Taylor, keyboardist Oliver
Palotai and drummer Johnny Dee — Doro is back to major league metal form,
hard-charging through 12 tracks in a beefy 54:10.
*On March 9th, 2006 a photo shoot for the motor cycle company Yamaha will take place. DORO will present the new street quad YFM-R for the company and will also be part of the complete advertising campaign for Yamaha.
*The US clothes company Edy Hardy is also very interested in working with DORO. At the moment they are checking ways of cooperating and if everything works out all right DORO will be presenting their clothes as Steven Tyler of Aerosmith is doing it at the moment.
*On July 21st, 2006 DORO will be playing live at the Blaze Of Glory Festival 2006 in Schliersee, Germany. http://www.blaze-of-glory-festival.de/home.htm
It's done! The new album "Warrior Soul" is ready and will be released on March 27th, 2006 (March 24th, 2006 in Germany). The reactions to the album are overwhelming so far. The regular album contains twelve great tracks and the limited edition will have two bonus songs. This album surely presents DORO from her strongest side presenting both great metal hymns and wonderful ballads. Its time for heavy metal again, guys!!!
