The Queen of Heavy Metal, Doro Pesch will release her ‘best-of’ special album ‘Magic Diamonds – Best Of Rock, Ballads & Rare Treasures’ on November 13, 2020 through her own label, Rare Diamonds Productions.
The effort consists of 3 CDs containing 56 songs with a total of almost four hours of playing time, spanning four decades of Doro tunes. Specifically, the effort confirms “20 rock songs, 18 ballads, and 18 rare treasures.” The release will also contain an exclusive Doro perfume called ‘True At Heart’ as well as a ‘Magic Diamonds’ tube scarf.
“I have been dreaming of my own perfume for many years,” says Doro. “Now the time has finally come.” The fragrance /3CD box is available in two versions: ‘For Him’ and ‘For Her.’
There’s also a vinyl version of ‘Magic Diamonds – Best Of Rock, Ballads & Rare Treasures’ containing 4 colored vinyls. “The big vinyl box contains two double LPs,” affirms Doro, “and as an encore, the Rare Treasures bonus CD and a poster.”
A press release states, “Whichever version of these magical best-of boxes you secure, you open a full treasure chest full of mega-hits, powerful off-beat songs, and enchanting ballads with melodies to kneel down; as an encore, you will find rare pearls in the form of previously unreleased treasures such as the NYC version of “Prisoner Of Love” or a brand-new re-recording of DORO’s favorite song “Love Me In Black.“”
Doro explains further: “Since we all miss the concerts so much at the moment, I decided to release great live moments of songs like ‘Even Angels Cry,’ ‘Rare Diamonds,’ ‘Revenge,’ ‘Raise Your Fist In The Air,’ as well as a wonderful version of ‘Make Time For Love’ here, as well.”
The official album description also notes:
“What would a best-of album by DORO be without reminiscences of the great friendships DORO has with her colleagues and heroes of heavy metal? And so here DORO delivers fantastic interpretations of Dio’s “Egypt (The Chains Are On),” Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters,” and Judas Priest’s “Breaking The Law,” the latter in an orchestral version in duet with Udo Dirkschneider.
In addition, the metal queen presents enchanting duets with her favorite friend Lemmy (“Love Me Forever”), Pete Steele (“Descent”), and Tarja Turunen (“Walking With The Angels”) and serves her great anthems like “Fight” and “She’s Like Thunder,” which she wrote for her friend, boxing world champion Regina Halmich. Not to forget “Warrior Soul,” the movie soundtrack of the movie Anuk – The Way of the Warrior, in which DORO played the female lead role, and of which part 2 and part 3 will be released soon.
All in all, an unbeatable package that brings a bright light to dismal November days – true to DORO’s motto in life: “I make music to give people joy, hope, and positive energy.” And “My songs are often based on personal experiences that are also of a spiritual nature – like ‘1000 Mal Gelebt,’ ‘Undying,’ or ‘Fortune Teller’!””
