Doro-2018

“Forever Warriors, Forever United“, the new studio album of metal queen DORO, is being released today. This is DORO‘s 20th album – and it’s arriving just in time for her 35th live stage anniversary! And yet it’s not just these two great anniversaries that make “Forever Warriors, Forever United“ a truly extraordinary album. It’s also not just the fact that the metal queen is releasing her very first double album.

No, “Forever Warriors, Forever United“ is so special because DORO presents 25 (!) brand new hot tracks that all have one thing in common; an incredible variety and stylistic range, paired with the highest quality. There is simply no weak song on this album – it‘s “all killer, no filler!”

On “Forever Warriors, Forever United“, DORO delivers a musical firecracker with an unbelievable amount of hits. From stadium anthems to ballads, from heavy metal to classical – the queen of rock & metal proves beyond doubt on this double album that she rules all facets within the rock genre (and far beyond)! And: “Forever Warriors, Forever United“ is also more than just a double album – it‘s actually two new DORO albums in one!

On »Forever Warriors«, DORO presents herself as a wild warrior. Listen to the tracks ‘Bastardos’, ‘Blood’, ‘Sweat And Rock’n’Roll’, the first single ‘All For Metal’ as well as ‘If I Can’t Have You, No One Will’, the duet with AMON AMARTH bellower Johan Hegg. This song contains brute force that will hit you right in the face. You have never heard DORO like this before!

»Forever United« captivates with the emotional side of DORO, which of course focuses on topics such as friendship, love and deep connections. Examples are the Lemmy anthem ‘Living Life To The Fullest’, ‘Heartbroken’, ‘Lift Me Up’ and the brandnew single ‘It Cuts So Deep’, with which DORO has succeeded in producing even more great songs!
Watch the new video for it, here:

“We have toured very intensively over the past few years, gathering so many impressions along the way and meeting so many great people. That really inspired me,”  explains  DORO.  “The songs and ideas literally flooded our minds and this also didn‘t stop in the studio. From over 50 song ideas we quickly had 14 songs for an album, then suddenly 20 and in the end it was 24. Then I decided to also record one more in our last studio week: ‘Caruso’.”

Consequently, DORO presents their fans with »Forever Warriors, Forever United« two new albums in a double package – with 19 regular tracks and six bonus songs that are full of great surprises.

The kick-off to this unique songwriting marathon was the track ‘Living Life To The Fullest’ in January 2016. DORO: “I was on the plane on my way to Lemmy’s funeral, when the melody and the lyrics came to my mind. Lemmy was always incredibly important to me. Then it just went on always with the same procedure; as soon as a song idea came to maturity, I went into the studio – between all the gigs and tours – to capture the fresh wind and live energy of the songs.”

The album includes the MOTÖRHEAD cover ‘Lost In The Ozone’, in honour of Lemmy, as well as ‘Don’t Break My Heart Again’, an outstanding cover version of the WHITESNAKE hit. Doro: “I have a very deep personal connection to ‘Lost in The Ozone’ and WHITESNAKE have always been one of my absolute favorites. That’s also why my first ever band was called SNAKEBITE!”

A hymn like ‘All We Are’, a German ballad like ‘Für Immer’ and a former WARLOCK guitarist… with »Forever Warriors, Forever United«, DORO has a new mega-album under her belt which shows the rock queen in all of her countless, wonderful, varied facets. This album is another milestone in DORO‘s great career.

On Friday, DORO will once again open her treasure trove and release ‘Lift Me Up’, the second single from their highly anticipated new album “Forever Warriors, Forever United” (out on August 17th via Nuclear Blast).

“‘Lift Me Up’ is one of my absolute favorites,” reveals DORO. “This song has a lot of good energy, it builds you up right. I also love the very catchy melody and the lyrics.”

Watch the lyric video for ‘Lift Me Up’ here:

Get the single digitally here: http://nblast.de/DoroLiftMeUp

The great anthem ‘All For Metal’ is followed by the next hit, ‘Lift Me Up’,which only boosts the anticipation for DORO’s new killer album!

»Forever Warriors, Forever United« is killer because DORO gives not one, but two new albums to the (metal) world!

»Forever Warriors, Forever United« is also killer, because guest stars on the album range from Doug Aldrich (WHITESNAKE, DIO, THE DEAD DAISIES) to Mille (KREATOR) and SABATON etc., who all pay tribute to the metal queen on her 20th album.

Also watch the music video of ‘All For Metal’ feat. Mille (KREATOR), Johan Hegg (AMON AMARTH), Chuck Billy (TESTAMENT), Warrel Dane (R.I.P.), Jeff Waters (ANNIHILATOR), SABATON, Ross The Boss, Rock‘n‘Rolf (RUNNING WILD), DETRAKTOR, Tommy Bolan (ex-WARLOCK), Andy Brings and The Ultimate Doro Clan, here:

DORO comments: “I think the song ‘All For Metal’ is an anthem like ‘All We Are’ with some great guests singing, who are all friends of mine. It’s an awesome live song and I hope you enjoy it because it’s one of my favourite songs!”

The single will be also available as a 7″ vinyl in different colours (black, picture, silver, gold).

‘All For Metal’ 7″ vinyl track list:

“Forever Warriors, Forever United” – 100 days to go until the release of DORO‘s highly anticipated new studio album. 100 days of waiting until the metal queen unleashes 25 (!) brand new songs, her first double album ever, upon the music world. But “Forever Warriors, Forever United” isn’t simply just a double album – it’s two new DORO records as one, which will be released as premium 2CD set and vinyl formats on August 17th, 2018 through Nuclear Blast.

On »Forever Warriors«, DORO channels her inner wild warrior, with tracks like ‘Bastardos’ or the first single ‘All For Metal’ (release: June 8th) affirming this. Her duet with AMON AMARTH frontman Johan Hegg ‘If I Can’t Have You…’ is sure to bring any metal head to their knees. This is DORO like you’ve never heard her before!

»Forever United« takes a more sentimental turn, with lyrical topics covering friendship, love and companionship. Highlights include DORO‘s tribute to the late and great Lemmy.

“We’ve been touring a lot during the last years. We collected a lot of impressions and got to meet many amazing people. That inspired me enormously,” explains DORO. “The songs and ideas simply bubble out of me. That process didn’t even end while being in the studio. We had 50 song ideas in the beginning which turned into 14 concrete album tracks. Suddenly we had 20 songs, and in the end it was even 24. I also wanted to record ‘Caruso’ in the last recording week.”

With »Forever Warriors, Forever United«, DORO presents two new records, featuring 19 regular tracks and 6 bonus songs, which include some big surprises!

This unique song writing marathon was based on ‘Living Life To The Fullest’ back in January 2016. Says DORO, “I was flying to Lemmy’s funeral when the track’s melody and lyrics suddenly came to mind. Lemmy was always very important to me. Everything went quickly from this point. As soon as a song was constructed, I headed to the studio – between all those shows and tours – to capture the freshness and live energy of the new tracks.”

The result is 25 songs in the form of two fantastic albums, showcasing all of DORO‘s wonderful and varied facets. »Forever Warriors, Forever United« is another huge chapter added to her long history.

The album cover artwork was once again created by DORO‘s favourite artist, Geoffrey Gillespie. It portrays DORO in the middle of a swarm of wild metal heads exuding attitude, power and positive vibes. “The cover and the title form a perfect unit,” DORO explains, “Just as it should be. It all fits perfectly in line with the songs, which also deal with some political themes.”

DORO continues: “On »Forever Warriors, Forever United«, there will be a lot of big rock heroes. Fans might be curious about the many awesome guest musicians involved. There are some big anthems on both albums, countless heavy songs, as well as heart-warming melodies! The records are supposed to give you power and thus contain a lot of energy.”

The first single ‘All For Metal’ features several metal heroes, who can also be seen in the upcoming music video, which will be released on June 8th. The list of guest stars will be unveiled soon… and DORO is already convinced that “‘All For Metal’ is going to be the new ‘All We Are’!”

Guitarist Doug Aldrich (WHITESNAKE, DIO, DEAD DAISIES) and former WARLOCK guitarist Tommy Bolan, who also contributed to the highly acclaimed album »Triumph And Agony« in 1987, will also be part of the new album.
