Just in time for the start of her Winter Magic tour on December 11, 2026, German metal queen Doro Pesch brings the rock world a red-hot work full of new killer tracks with her special release Wild At Heart.
The first perfect foretaste was provided by Rock You 2 Death, which arrived in September and can be heard below.
Doro explains, “The new tracks on Wild At Heart are all songs close to my heart, many of which have been created in the past few months. I wanted to have brand new songs for the upcoming tour that ignite on the album and live.”
Mission accomplished: The fans will love Wild At Heart— and will be able to experience many new hits live on the winter tour.
Doro adds, “This special release really packs a punch. I can immediately add two or three new hits to the setlist, which will certainly be celebrated by the fans!”
Wild At Heart – Special Release (Tour Edition) is being released on Doro‘s own label, Rare Diamonds Production (distributed by Edel), and is available in the following formats: digipack with a reversible cover, shaped vinyl, picture vinyl, colored vinyl, box set, digital, and — as a special treat — a liquid-filled vinyl filled with dark red glitter.
Wild At Heart – Special Release (Tour Edition) track listing:
1. Rock You 2 Death
2. I Believe In Love
3. You R Not Alone
4. Fight Like A Lion
5. Too Little Too Late
6. Stay With Me

Last fall, Doro released Warriors Of The Sea through her own label Rare Diamonds Production, distributed by Edel. Besides the strictly limited liquid-filled vinyl version, it was also made available as CD digipak and picture disc vinyl.
The idea for this special release emerged following two sold-out “Metal Queen Metal Cruises” that were a huge success with fans in late May 2025 and early June 2025. Along with a third cruise which took place in June 2026, these events created demand for more music.
The album’s title track was written by Doro specifically as an anthem for the cruise and immediately became an absolute fan favorite at summer festivals worldwide. The remaining nine tracks were a carefully curated selection by Doro focusing on Warriors and Cruise themes. All were rarities perfect for fans, collectors, and metal enthusiasts. Side A featured rare studio recordings, while Side B delivered live tracks recorded during Doro‘s completely sold-out 2024/2025 tour.
In March 2025, Doro received a lifetime achievement award in her former hometown of Düsseldorf. The award was presented to the singer in a grand, ceremonial setting by Klaus Meine, frontman of the legendary rock band Scorpions. The award honored Pesch‘s groundbreaking career, which began in the 1980s with her band Warlock. As one of the first women to break into the male-dominated heavy metal scene, she established herself as a lasting force in the international music industry. With over ten million albums sold and more than 3,500 concerts across 60 countries, the Düsseldorf native is among the most successful female rock musicians of all time.
Doro‘s latest album, Conqueress – Forever Strong And Proud, was released in October 2023 on Nuclear Blast.
