German metal queen DORO PESCH is featured in a new interview with Metal-Rules.com, in which she talks about the Raise Your Fist album and tour, WARLOCK, New York hurricane, the music business and more. An excerpt follows:

Q: Okay, let’s start with some current things like the 12th Doro album, Raise Your Fist.

A: "I always counted my albums with the Warlock stuff but you’re probably right here (laughs)."

Q: I think that you’re right here but anyway, you said in many interviews that you were really proud of the album when it was released. How does the album feel now after seven months from its release?

A: "Yeah, it’s still super. You will probably see tonight on stage. It’s a super, like – there are songs like 'Raise Your Fist', they go over really well. 'Revenge' is always something for the old school metal fans. We just added new song 'Rock till Death' on the set which was rehearsed just one the day before the Scandinavian and the Russian dates. One of the absolute highlights I think is 'Hero'. In every set it’s very touching, very emotional. I think that’s something that especially the fans will love Ronnie which I guess is almost everybody from the metal world. That’s one of the absolute highlights and yeah, I’m super excited about the album still and new songs work awesome live!"

Q: That’s good to hear, because nowadays, bands usually start to plan the next album once the previous one is out.

A: "Not me (laughs). I think there’s so many more gigs to come, festivals to play. Yeah, I think I’m still very satisfied with this album and yeah, it will take a long time to start the new one."

Q: That’s good because then you did something right with this album.

A: Yeah, it’s a good sign when you can tour behind a record for a long time."
