DORO - UNLEAHES NEW SINGLE ´LEAN MEAN ROCK MACHINE´

Legendary heavy metal icon DORO is back with a thunderous new single, ´Lean Mean Rock Machine,´ which comes accompanied by an electrifying animated video crafted by acclaimed visual artist Balázs Gróf.

This adrenaline-fueled anthem, taken from her latest album Conqueress- Forever Strong and Proud, perfectly captures the spirit of heavy metal and the freedom of the open road.

Embark on a thrilling journey with DORO as she rides her awesome tuned motorbike through a landscape pulsating with raw energy and the essence of rock 'n' roll.
Gróf's masterful animation brings to life the intense power of DORO's music, creating a visual spectacle that immerses fans in the heart-pounding world of heavy metal and motorbikes.

DORO comments: "I had the idea of making an animated video years ago, and when I recorded 'Lean Mean Rock Machine' I knew it was the perfect song for it. I've liked Balázs Gróf's work for a long time. He is really incredibly talented. I was totally impressed by how he was able to empathize with the vibe of the song, the lyrics, and me as an artist in order to implement 'Lean Mean Rock Machine' absolutely perfectly: exciting, funny, and world-class craftsmanship. There are so many details in the video that you always discover something new. I'm super happy with the clip!"

Upon revealing what was supposed to be the final lineup for Milwaukee Metal Festival 2024, the festival still has a surprise up its sleeves and is now welcoming DORO, ROSS THE BOSSand ATHEIST to the already stacked lineup!

Doro "The Metal Queen" Pesch got her start as the singer for Warlock, which was formed in her hometown of Düsseldorf in 1983.

This will be her first appearance in Milwaukee in several years and she will be replacing Destruction, who can no longer make it.

Ross The Boss is one of the crown jewels of the New York City punk and metal scene.

His eponymous metal band will now grace the stage at Milwaukee Metal Fest and lay down their vicious brand of heavy metal.

Atheist is among the purveyors of Florida death metal, known for their jazz-laden technicality that appeals to both fans of the progressive and the extreme.

So, the Metal God himself, Rob Halford of JUDAS PRIEST personally did DORO the honour of recording the immortal JUDAS PRIEST classic 'Living After Midnight' as a duet with her.

Rob Halford is one of DORO's all-time favourite vocalists, so this moment finally fulfils a dream that Doro has had since her very first tour with Judas Priest in 1986.

DORO and Rob Halford have breathed new life into this timeless classic, paying tribute to the roots of heavy metal.

DORO comments: "Judas Priest and Rob Halford have always been one of my biggest inspirations and continue to be my heroes. It was so great working with Rob. 'Living After Midnight' has always been one of my favourite songs and I'm so proud of our duet!"
