Burning the Witches

Spearheaded by the ferocious and charismatic vocals of Doro Pesch, this debut album instantly distinguished the Düsseldorf quintet within the male-dominated German heavy metal scene. The band balances traditional, aggressive speed metal riffing with strong, memorable melodic hooks on tracks like 'Sign of Satan'. It launched Doro's career as one of the most iconic and enduring frontwomen in the history of heavy metal.
