Doro: The Queen of Metal Honored with Lifetime Achievement Award!

In recognition of her many milestones throughout her musical career and life, Doro Pesch has received a very special award. While it’s far from her first - her journey already includes accolades like the Echo, Metal Hammer Award, RADIO BOB! Award, and many more - this one stands out as one of the most emotional. Why? Because it comes directly from her hometown of Düsseldorf and the Rheinische Post newspaper. The singer has officially been named “Düsseldorfer:in des Jahres” (Düsseldorf Native of the Year)!

As the frontwoman of Warlock, Doro became a staple of the metal scene early on and has been pursuing her solo career since the late ’80s. Widely known as the “Queen of Metal”, she’s considered a trailblazer for women in a male-dominated genre.
