Force Majeure (1988)

“Force Majeure” is not only the debut of Doro Pesch’s solo career, but also the beginning of how her next few albums would start to sound. “Force Majeure” is a lot different than Warlock’s last release “Triumph and Agony”.The debut is still at its very core a band working together to make some kick ass heavy metal. The more you listen to metal, you can start pinpointing certain time frames. This album fits the late 80's early 90's period of what pop oriented hard rock/metal primarily sounded like. The difference between Doro and the rest of the bands who played this kind of pop oriented metal, is that Doro has always knocked it out the park and feels genuine playing it. Overall, it is Doro herself who is driving the album with her voice. The album is great and if you’ve listened to only Warlock and you are thinking of giving Doro’s solo stuff a shot, start here, as it sets the tone for what is later to come. (Wykydtron84)|
