Doro Pesch Announces New Album and Tour Edition Release

German metal icon Doro Pesch has announced the release of her new album "Wild At Heart", set for December 11, 2026. The album, titled "Wild At Heart - Special Release (Tour Edition)", will be released on her own label, Rare Diamonds Production, and distributed by Edel. It will be available in multiple formats including digipack, shaped vinyl, picture vinyl, colored vinyl, box set, and a limited liquid-filled vinyl with dark red glitter.

The album follows the success of two sold-out "Metal Queen Metal Cruises" in late 2025 and early 2026, with a third cruise taking place in June 2026. The title track was written specifically for the cruise and has become a fan favorite at summer festivals worldwide. The remaining tracks focus on themes of "Warriors" and "Cruise" and include rare studio recordings on Side A and live recordings from Doro's completely sold-out 2024/2025 tour on Side B.

Doro previously released "Warriors Of The Sea" in 2025 via Rare Diamonds Production and Edel. The album was made available in CD digipak and picture disc vinyl formats, with a limited liquid-filled vinyl edition.

In March 2025, Doro received a lifetime achievement award in Düsseldorf, presented by SCORPIONS frontman Klaus Meine. The honor recognized her pioneering role in the heavy metal scene, beginning with her band WARLOCK in the 1980s. With over ten million albums sold and more than 3,500 concerts across 60 countries, she is among the most successful female rock musicians in history. Her latest album, "Conqueress - Forever Strong And Proud", was released in October 2023 via Nuclear Blast.
