DORO
Strong and Proud - 30 Years of Rock and Metal
Nuclear Blast

Metal Queen DORO will release her brand-new 2 Blu-ray/3 DVD+CD package entitled Strong And Proud - 30 Years Of Rock And Metal, on July 15, 2016 in North America through Nuclear Blast Records. The package has already been charting high on the European charts.

Doro Pesch is a German hard rock singer that started her career in her native Dusseldorf in the early 80s with the underground bands SNAKEBITE and BEAST. In 1982, she joined the German heavy metal band WARLOCK, which got its first contract with the Belgian independent label Mausoleum Records to record the album Burning the Witches.

Doro started her solo recording career with the album Force Majeure in 1989, ultimately fulfilling her contract with the Vertigo label with after other four studio albums.

DORO: 30 years of Rock and Metal is 30 years of dedication, passion and love for the music and her fans all over the world. DORO celebrated her 30th anniversary of performing live during 2013/2014 by touring the world extensively for a year and by playing three official anniversary shows. The tour kicked off impressively in front of 85,000 people at the world's biggest metal festival, Wacken Open Air, followed by two sold-out nights in her home town, Dusseldorf, where it all began.

Strong And Proud - 30 Years Of Rock And Metal contains 38 songs in total, a full load of rock and metal, including all DORO classics, many old WARLOCK hits and ingenious cover versions of songs such as "Fear Of The Dark" (IRON MAIDEN), sung with special guest Blaze Bayley, and "Balls To The Wall" (ACCEPT), a duet with Udo Dirkschneider. The filming and cutting is phenomenal, and the sound crystal clear. Once again, the packaging was drawn by DORO's favorite artist, Geoffrey Gillespie.

Additionally, Strong And Proud - 30 Years Of Rock And Metal offers a unique music movie with a two-hour plus documentary, Behind the Curtain, Inside the Heart of DORO. It gives the spectator deep and detailed insights into the world of DORO.

Every part of this collection is a bombastic and sonic replication of DORO's live performances, and the heart her and the band put in to each and every one. Unfortunately, there are only a select number of US dates on her tour for the remainder of this year:
