Doro Pesch is often dubbed the Metal Queen. Yet, in a recent interview with Metal Hammer, Pesch suggested there’s room at the top for others. Discussing the emerging talents in the metal scene, she spotlighted several frontwomen who could one day inherit the ‘Metal Queen’ title.
During the conversation, Pesch expressed admiration for various female artists making waves in the genre:
“There are many great females! I like Alissa of Arch Enemy, Floor Jansen, Lzzy Hale, Simone of Epica, Cristina of Lacuna Coil… there are so many phenomenal ladies and great singers, all in their own vein of heavy metal.”
However, her praise wasn’t limited to just vocalists. Pesch also shared her fondness for newer bands making a mark in the industry:
“I like Powerwolf, but they’re not so young anymore! The ladies of Burning Witches are doing a great job, too. Of the heavier bands, I like Nervosa, an all-girl band from Brazil. There are so many great new bands; many are doing the 80s metal stuff; they dress and sound just like the 80s, which I like so much!”
After Warlock’s eventual split, Doro embarked on a solo career, producing 13 studio albums to date. Her 14th release, the 19-track ‘Conqueress Forever Strong And Proud,‘ is set to debut worldwide via Nuclear Blast on October 27.
Pesch also has organized a special concert on October 28 in her former hometown of Düsseldorf, Germany. This 40th Throne anniversary event will take place at the Mitsubishi Electric Hall. Following this event, she is slated to perform at the Life After Death Horror Festival in Mexico City on December 1.
