Today, Doro Pesch - the legendary and undisputed Queen of Metal - announces her first U.S. tour dates of 2020. Following her performances on this year's Monsters of Rock cruise set for February 8-13, DORO will take to the stage in the following cities: April 16 - Phoenix, AZ @ Club RedApril 17 - San Diego, CA @ Brick by BrickApril 19 - Los Angeles, CA @ Rainbow Bar & GrillMay 2 - Columbia, MD @ M3 FestivalMay 3 - Poughkeepsie, NY @ The ChanceMay 4 - Sellersville, PA @ Sellersville TheaterMay 6 - Cleveland, OH @ The WinchesterMay 7 - Chicago, IL @ Reggies  DORO experienced success on a global scale with her latest 2CD studio album, Forever Warriors, Forever United (released in August 2018 via Nuclear Blast). The album achieved an astounding #1 in the vinyl charts and #4 in the album charts in Germany, #3 in Finland, and #3 (vinyl) and #7 (album) in Sweden. It also landed #2 in the UK rock charts as well as numerous other top rankings across Europe and the USA. Forever Warriors, Forever United was DORO’s 20th album (including Warlock and live releases), and it is proof of her long-lasting chapter of the finest creativity and power. The album was released just in time for her 35th anniversary of live performances. The release included 25 brand-new songs, which all had one thing in common: incredible stylistic diversity paired with the highest quality. In 2019, DORO toured across the globe playing to thousands of fans, including a massively successful USA tour with co-headlining legends Metal Church. Now in 2020, DORO will celebrate at venues around the globe on her upcoming eponymous World Tour that leads her once again across the USA in April and May! DORO is excited to continue the Forever Warriors, Forever United tour and bringing a smashing show to the USA, where she will play all of the highlights of her entire career, including all of the Warlock classics! In 2018, her power was fully demonstrated on her 35th live anniversary on August 3rd during her fantastic headline performance in front of 80,000 fans at the legendary Wacken Open Air. Directly afterwards, still onstage and surrounded by the cheering of her fans, DORO was officially inducted into the US Hall of Heavy Metal History. There she is in good company with the likes of Lemmy Kilmister, Ronnie James Dio, and Judas Priest. The world has officially known Doro Pesch as a living legend since June 17, 2013, when the "Queen of Rock & Metal" won the Metal Hammer UK "Legends" award at the prestigious Golden Gods Awards in London. Only three months later, on September 13th, 2013, she was given the same honor in Germany, when she also received the German Metal Hammer "Legend" award. On May 15th 2016, DORO received her next major accolade in the US when she was awarded the "Metal Goddess Legends Award" in Las Vegas. For the newly crowned rock and metal goddess, it was just one of the highlights in an exciting year. After a successful US tour in February and March 2016, DORO celebrated the live premiere of the band’s new hit song "Love's Gone To Hell" in April, when they played as special guests on the Rock Meets Classic tour, which comprised 16 shows across Germany and Switzerland in front of more than 110,000 spectators. In March 2016, DORO landed her own radio show on Rock Antenne, where she can still be heard every first Sunday of the month from 12:00-14:00 CET, playing her favorite music. DORO now even has her own record label in Rare Diamond Productions, which was founded in the autumn of 2017. It allows DORO to be able to release her own rarities, re-releases, and special editions.

Misty Bliss is a Swiss rock band formed in 2017.It’s a wave of melodies made to thrill the quiet souls and all those who are searching to stimulate their senses through music. It’s a time machine that travels from blues to stoner and from garage rock to alternative/grunge.Distorted riffs, powerful vocals and bold energy on stage, "Misty Bliss" doesn’t waste time with futilities and goes directly to the point... It’s a love story, it’s a story of “mutual thrills” between the members and the audience.Our “colors” are sad and somber but in the same time bright and joyful, because we don’t forget that “after the darkness comes the light”.

Fighter Records is proud to announce the official release of the unreleased sophomore album by the mythical Spanish Heavy/ Rock band EXCALIBUR. Entitled "Cero" and originally from 1996, the album will be released on CD as well as in a limited print run of 250 copies on 12"LP vinyl next 24th of March through Fighter Records. "Cero" was originally recorded in 1996, but due to several circumstances it wasn't released and only 50 copies were duplicated on CD-R just for close friends. EXCALIBUR ceased their musical activity right after, until their reunion in 2013. This album has a more Hard Rock orientation than their legendary debut "Generación Maldita" from '88, although with the unmistakable style of the band. This "Cero" re-issue contains a new cover art, and the CD version will feature 8 live bonus tracks recorded between 1987 and 2014, of which 5 of them are previously unreleased and were never recorded in studio. Tracklist for "Cero" is as follows: 01.

Portugal’s Terror Empire kick off the 2020’s with fresh new music that’s set to kick you down your seat. “Snake Nest” is the first of a series of singles to be released during the year, in order to celebrate more than 10 years of heavy music. Listen here: [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="IP5Rc9_cmY8"]While the pace and riffery is still fast, there’s a new dimension to the portuguese band that make the band sound a little bit different. This new song is somehow more direct and straightforwad, and adds a ton of weight to riffs that just sound massive. Ricardo Martin’s vocal performance has also upgraded for these new tunes, with catchy choruses that you can sing along to without losing their fed-up edge. As for the lyrics for Snake Nest, “they are all about power and betrayal; about those who do try to make a change but are stabbed in the back during the  process”, the vocalist sums up.The main songwriter and guitarrist Rui Alexandre says he “tried to write riffs that would sound huge, a soundtrack to you breaking your neck”. There’s still plenty of blast beats, “but everything is so raw and there’s this strong and powerful energy that gets you hooked in a way that traditional thrash just doesn’t seem to do”. Terror Empire aren’t trying to reinvent the wheel, though. Recorded, mixed and mastered at Golden Jack Studios Coimbra by the drummer João Dourado, “you can hear a lot of old school influences blending in together to make this sonic attack”, Rui adds.“Snake Nest” was released in January 17th on all important streaming platforms, and will have exclusive physical distribution via Metal Hammer Portugal’s “Subsolo” compilation, worldwide. The band is currently looking for shows to promote the new singles, contact them via Move Up Bookings.
