The undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the female metal world returns with a scorching 4 track EP in advance of her first studio album since 2009’s “Fear No Evil”. Raise Your Fist is due later this year, but in the meantime the Raise Your Fist In The Air EP serves us a taste of what the full length will hold.

Written and recorded in The US, Germany and Scandinavia, the title track and Victory find Doro at her anthemic best, her metal heart beating as strong as ever. Both tracks rival her best work for sheer head shaking, horn throwing immediacy and bombastic Germanic rifferama.

Engel is a touching German language ballad in the tradition of Herzblut from her last album, 2009’s Fear No Evil, and the EP is rounded out with a French version of the title track which is sure to get European hearts racing.

As an appetiser for the forthcoming album, Raise Your Fist In The Air is a delectable tidbit – now bring on the main course!
