In honor of her 30 years stage jubilee, internationally successful Rock singer DORO PESCH will celebrate with fans from all over the world and two separate yet unique shows on May 02, 2014 and May 03, 2014 at CCD Stadthalle of her hometown Düsseldorf. In addition DORO has given a press conference at Relexa Hotel, Düsseldorf/Ratingen. DORO on this: „We came up with something very special for our 30 years stage anniversary, with two totally different shows, that cover the entire creative spectrum of my band and me – from emotional and soft, to hard, raw and heavy.”The first anniversary show on May 02, 2014 will be dedicated to DORO and the Classic Night Orchestra. Accompanied by brass, strings and her band, DORO will perform her most beautiful, emotional ballads like ‘Für Immer‘, ‘1000x Gelebt‘ or ‘Let Love Rain On Me‘ in the stylish surroundings of CCD Stadthalle. At this night big hits like ‘All We Are‘, ‘Metal Tango‘, or ‘Burn It Up‘ can’t be missing, that shine even brighter as they now receive a classical overdo by the orchestra. Fans have been waiting for this to happen for the past ten years, since DORO’s last performance with the Classic Night Orchestra was in 2004, after her album »Classic Diamonds« has been praised by fans and critics alike. At the second anniversary show on May 03, 2014 DORO will let out the rock lady in her. On this night the blonde superstar will travel through all of her 30 years of an incredibly successful carrier, delivering a three hours high voltage set with all things Rock’n’Roll she has to offer. Fans can look forward to all hits, hymns and many surprises. On both days DORO will welcome several fantastic guests that will give their honors to the Metal-Queen on this big event. Amongst them of course Biff Byford, vocalist of legendary band SAXON as well as Chris Caffrey (TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA), Udo Dirkschneider (U.D.O; ex-ACCEPT) and BLIND GUARDIAN’s Hansi Kürsch.Commented DORO: „You all know how important my fans are to me. That’s why I really want to have a fan choir with me on stage at one song. Best song for this is our Wacken Anthem ‘We Are The Metalheads‘, that will be accompanied by a dozen of fans on May 03.I’m specially looking forward to this.“Just in time for the celebration Nuclear Blast will release a DORO boxet.The singer on this: “This is a 30 years special edition containing two CDS and a whole of fan memorabilia, I’ve chosen just for this purpose. CD 1 will be cover album with a collection of my very favorite songs of all times like ‘Touch Too Much‘ from AC/DC, ‘Egypt‘ from DIO or ‘Babe, I´m Gonna Leave You‘ from LED ZEPPELIN.“DORO continues: „CD 2 is a re-issue of my most current record »Raise Your Fist«, which is very important to me, because, in my opinion, it includes some of the strongest tracks I’ve ever done. For instance ‘It Still Hurts’, my ballad with MOTÖRHEAD’s Lemmy. There is a second, still unreleased version of that song, that will also be part of the cover album.”A suitable temporary home for musicians, crew and fans during the big DORO celebration is also available: DORO and her entourage will stay at Relexa Hotel, Düsseldorf/Ratingen on May 02 and May 03. Hotel director Tim Zerr explains: „It is a huge honor for us to be offering a home to DORO Pesch, a living legend. We’re looking forward to her band, guest musicians and fans from all over the welt staying at our house. They will feel right at home.” As a special service for all fans, Relexa Hotel will offer a shuttle service from hotel to CCD-Halle (and back). Additionally DORO fans will have special conditions. Rooms can be booked at +49 (0)2102 4580.Tickets for both shows are available separately or combined with a discount at all known pre-sale shops and at www.metaltix.com from € 49,00.

    • Sacred Reich "Awakening"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Overkill "The Wings of War"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious.
