σχετικά μεWarlock were a German heavy metal band, assembled in 1982 with members of the underground bands Snakebite and Beast. The band gained popularity and some commercial success in Europe in the mid-1980s, due also to the personality and stage presence of lead vocalist Doro Pesch. Warlock supported on tour successful metal bands, such as W.A.S.P., Judas Priest, Dio and Megadeth.
By the end of the decade, Doro Pesch was the sole original member who remained in the band and she was forced to change the name to Doro for legal reasons. Doro, the band, continues to play several songs taken from the Warlock repertoire in their live shows.
The band has reunited for festival appearances and special occasions since 2003, under the name Warlock 1986.
Warlock were one of the few successful female-fronted heavy metal bands in the circuit during the 80s, when the scene was dominated by macho singers. Doro Pesch's voice and stage presence caught immediately the attention of fans and press and she became the principal mean of promotion for the band, as well as the main spokesperson for Warlock.
Warlock's music is always primarily described as heavy metal, and the band cite as main influences 1970s metal acts such as Judas Priest, Scorpions, Accept, and groups from the new wave of British heavy metal movement.
Warlock's sound and songwriting evolved from the traditional heavy metal of their debut album Burning the Witches to the faster and darker Hellbound, which incorporates elements of power metal, such as fast tempos, powerful choruses and fantasy-inspired lyrics. True as Steel is a more commercial album, where any reference to fantasy and the occult in the lyrics was abandoned. Triumph and Agony recovers elements of the first albums, but veers also towards a melodic and FM radio-friendly sound, influenced by the US production. Other bands that had a similar sound include Keel, the late 80s' Judas Priest and Lizzy Borden.
Power ballads were also characteristic of Warlock and are present in the track listings of every album.

Warlock played live all over Germany in 1983, gathering fan support, and then recorded a demo in late 1983, which got them signed to Mausoleum Records.
After many, many line-up changes, keeping only Doro Pesch as a constant, legal troubles ...
