DORO - New Under My Skin Best Of Compilation North American Release Date Announced DORO PESCH, will release Under My Skin - A Fine Selection Of Doro Classics in North America on August 14th via AFM Records.
Under My Skin recently entered the German album charts at #53.
The album was compiled in close collaboration between AFM Records
and
Doro Pesch, who also contributed handwritten liner notes to all
songs. The 2-CD package includes Doro classics, but in addition also
lots of rare tracks from single B-sides and rare album bonus tracks.
As well as the regular digipak version, it is also available as
strictly limited wooden fanbox edition (1,000 copies only) which
includes the digipak 2-CD, a textile posterflag, a Doro logo patch, a
Doro bracelet, a postcard and a certificate of authenticity.
A complete package description including the full 32 song tracklist is available here.
Doro recently checked-in from her work in the studio to issue the following update:
"The new album will be entitled Raise Your Fist and has been
recorded and written in the US, Germany, and Scandinavia. Right now
we're in the mixing stages and are close to finishing everything. Most
important to me are the power hymns
‘Raise Your Fist In The Air’ and
‘Victory,’ which will also be available on the forthcoming EP! Both
songs have been played live on our last tour and also made last year’s
Wacken Open Air shake!
‘Raise Your Fist In The Air’ will also be
available in French… which is going to be very interesting. For the
diehard fans of German songs like
‘Für Immer’ (‘Forever’), there are two
songs in the same vein: the sensitive and quite dark
‘Human Rights’ and
the very emotional
‘Engel’ (‘Angel’). There are also a lot of fast
songs like ‘Little Headbanger’ and various fist-pumping ones featuring
amazing guests like
Gus G (OZZY OSBOURNE, FIREWIND) on ‘Last Man
Standing’ which fans will for sure dig live. We also have a song that
honors the late Ronnie James Dio called ‘Hero’ and another highlight
named
‘It Still Hurts’ featuring
MOTÖRHEAD’s Lemmy Kilmister. The cover
artwork has once again been created by British artist Geoffrey Gillespie
who is a close friend and companion since he made it into the Guinness
Book of World Records for his Triumph And Agony cover as the biggest
album cover in the world. Since then, he's done ten covers for us!"
Raise Your Fist will be released in North America this coming fall.
To hold fans over until then, the upcoming Raise Your Fist In The Air EP
will be released August 3rd via Nuclear Blast. The EP will contain the
following songs and will be issued on CD, vinyl and as digital download:
