XOUNTS is thrilled to highlight all the cool moments in music and give you exclusive behind-the-scenes access: from Doro’s creative journey and her new album to her December tour appearances and signing sessions, where you can meet not only DORO but our team as well. And this is only the beginning! Before the year ends, we’ve got something truly exciting waiting for you. But let’s take it one surprise at a time…
Who is DORO?
If metal runs through your veins like it does through ours, you know the legends and you know the one and only Metal Queen.
Doro Pesch (born June 3, 1964, in Düsseldorf) began her musical journey at an early age and quickly became one of the most enduring figures in heavy metal. As the frontwoman of Warlock, she made a name for herself in the 1980s before launching her impressive solo career.
Her voice, stage presence, and loyalty to her fans have made her a true Queen of Metal and a female metal legend. This title is a result of decades of authenticity and perseverance.
With every album release, including the one we are all waiting for, Warriors of the Sea, Doro Pesch proves she never stops pushing boundaries, musically, conceptually, and in her connection with fans through new ideas and innovations.
Having performed over 3,500 concerts in more than 60 countries, including the upcoming Doro Tour 2025, and with over 10 million records sold, Doro Pesch has left a mark that is hard to surpass. We at XOUNTS admire Doro not only as an icon but as a role model for combining passion, artistry, and genuine connection with the community.
We at XOUNTS are thrilled about all the upcoming events we have prepared for you. For now, you can enjoy the synergy we’re building for what’s next. Our vision is to create a unique experience that goes beyond traditional music releases, bringing fans closer to the Queen of Metal in combination with the XOUNTS sound system and an immersive 360° surround sound experience right in their homes.
Behind the scenes, we can share that the synergy we are building with this amazing star is something to watch, and we’ll keep you updated every step of the way.
„Warriors of the Sea“ – Soundtrack of the legend
Warriors of the Sea will be released on October 24, 2025, via Doro’s own label Rare Diamonds Production and distributed by Edel. The album was born from the energy of the Metal Queen Cruises, which Doro Pesch uses as a living stage to connect with her fans. The title track has already become an anthem at her cruises and festivals, further cementing her status as the ultimate Queen of Metal.
The album comes in multiple formats, including a CD Digipak, Picture Vinyl, and the groundbreaking Liquid Filled Vinyl Doro, infused with Blue Curaçao, a world premiere for Doro. Its structure is just as unique. Side A features rare studio recordings, while Side B captures the live energy of performances from the Doro Tour 2024/25.
Fans have praised how Doro Pesch stays true to her roots while embracing innovation. MetalPlanetMusic highlighted that “Doro’s unmistakable vocal breathes around the riffing guitars,” noting how the title track becomes a live sing-along experience. MetalTalk emphasized how she combines rarities and live energy into a cohesive package, calling the title track “an instant call to the fists of the fans,” a throwback to Doro’s legendary anthems.
The Liquid Filled Vinyl Doro edition is already celebrated as a collector’s item and a statement of fearless creativity. Warriors of the Sea is not just a musical release. It is a deliberate step to showcase Doro Pesch’s creativity, her dedication to fans, and her lasting impact as a female metal legend.
