I just saw some footage of Doro and the band performing at a festival in Finland and credit where is due, she still kicks ass. Four albums as Warlock and squillions as Doro, she has been pounding the metal on record since ’84. This album was released in ’86 and was the third Warlock release and was produced by “Mr Metal” Michael Wagener. It was the album that first gained some success in the US.
I think this is a great record and defo the best Warlock record as it’s very accessible, and made with one ear on American radio. The song Fight For Rock is so catchy with a simple riff and groove, you can see why it was the lead off single and it gets my vote for favourite tune. Other tracks that float my boat are Speed Of Sound with double kicks all the way, Midnite In China with that great choppy riff, and Virwarts All Right a pedal to the metal with killer riff and solo.
Long may Doro rock.
8/10 from The Grooveman.
