欧洲最重要的女性金属代表人物之一
在众多女性摇滚艺人中,最特立独行的要属DORO PESCH,这名日尔曼女子并没有把对摇滚的热忱转化为GROUPIE那盲目的糜烂和追捧,而是选择了在80年代男性占主导地位的金属乐坛中闯出属于自己的一片天地。
DORO是个混合体,JOAN JETT的狂野,PATTI SMITH的睿智,JANIS JOPLIN的叛逆塑造了DORO的灵魂。“It’s a man’s world? Who says?(这是男人的世界吗?谁说的?)”—已经成为DORO的口头禅。
80年代欧洲重金属界中的女性以WARLOCK的女主唱Doro Pesch为代表,WARLOCK于1982年组团。Doro这位一头金发的德国姑娘拥有一副兼有粗犷与柔媚两种特质的好嗓子,凭借她过人的演唱天赋,WARLOCK在1984年发行的首张专辑Burning The Witches就让乐队站到了当时主流金属的前沿。
此后的三年WARLOCK以每年一张的速度发行了三张专辑,每一张都受到了乐迷的好评。此后,Doro干脆把WARLOCK改组成了自己的个人乐队,并在1989和1990年以个人身份发行了两张专辑。
虽然在进入90年代后由于Grunge的冲击以及主流金属乐的没落,Doro有七、八年没有发行新的作品,但随着上个世纪末重金属回潮的到来,她又重新出现在金属迷们面前。或许是由于此前积累了不少作品的缘故,Doro复出之后发行专辑的速度令人惊叹——从1998年到2002年的五年间,她居然发行了9张专辑!
看来,虽然无情的时光夺去了Doro的青春与美貌,但没有让她失去对重金属的热爱和创作的激情,我们仍然有理由相信Doro会继续带给我们出色的重金属音乐。
DORO的音乐不是那种绚丽的金属乐,没有夸张的服饰,没有尖利的嗓音,没有长篇的SOLO,有的只是纯粹的重金属、硬摇滚,甚至在现代人眼里有些土里土气,但正是这种简单却充满力量的HARD ROCK让人动容。虽然时间的痕迹无情的爬上了DORO美丽的面颊,但创作的欲望和对摇滚的信仰却有增无减。
Originally, Pesch was a member of the group Snakebite, but in 1983 she left to join Warlock. In 1987, after Warlock's fourth album, Triumph And Agony, enough band members had been exchanged that Doro Pesch was the only remaining original member. What would be Warlock's fifth album was released titled Force Majeure in 1989.
Her ten year contract with Polygram expired in 1995, when she signed with WEA (now Warner Music Group).
In 1995, Doro made her acting debut on the German television program Verbotene Liebe (Forbidden Love).
After the "Love Me In Black" tour in 1998, Doro parted ways from WEA and signed at SPV Steamhammer. She also signed a U.S. deal.
In 2002 she composed the song Fight for her friend Regina Halmich. In the Year 2003 she was represented with Udo Dirkschneider as U.D.O. feat. Doro Pesch and published the rock ballad Dancing with an Angel.
She has recently signed with AFM Records.
She was a guest singer on After Forever's self-titled album, featured on the song "Who I Am."
Most recently she played live at Magic Circle Festival 2008
