Editorial Reviews

Limited digipak edition of the 2009 album from the German Metal Queen including two bonus tracks ('Wildfire' and 'You Won My Love') plus the enhanced video for 'Herzblut'. Fear No Evil is a step back to her roots without denying any phases of Doro's fantastic career. Just listen to 'The Night Of The Warlock', the anthemic 'Celebrate', the great ballads 'Herzblut' and 'Walking With The Angels' or aggressive tunes like 'Caught In A Battle' - the variety of Fear No Evil is impressive in every way. This is certainly Doro's best album since the '80s! AFM Records.

5.0 out of 5 stars Doro delivers another strong album!, February 10, 2009

'Fear No Evil' offers up a great batch of new songs from the Metal Queen... Doro Pesch. Song for song, this album rocks a bit more than the last few.

There are four power ballads on this release: 'Herzblut', 'Walking with Angels'(feat. ex-Nightwish singer Tarja Turunen), 'It Kills Me', and '25 Years'. Nothing boring or snoozy here.

The other seven songs on the mp3 album just rock - no other way to put it. Standout tracks for me are 'On The Run', 'I Lay My Head Upon My Sword', 'The Night Of The Warlock', and 'Caught In a Battle'. The first single 'Celebrate' is catchy (with a side of cheese).

'Fear No Evil' is one of Doro's best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fear Not! Doro's Here!, March 23, 2009

"Fear No Evil" has become my favorite album from Doro under that name of "Doro." I mean I've liked her albums like "Fight" and "Warrior Soul" along with the early 90s, but she's got more "hard rock" songs among those albums with some songs touching the heavy metal she played with Warlock back in the 80s. However "Fear No Evil" is definitely a heavier album and more metal sounding than her previous outputs, several songs remind me of those 80s metal anthems she played with Warlock. There are even more guitar solos present here for you guitarheads!

The first two songs "Night of the Warlock" and "Running from the Devil" are slow songs but heavy, ballsy and catchy. "Night of the Warlock" is definitely a favorite on this album. "Celebrate" is a kind of cheesy song about the love of rock and metal, but I love it. "Caught in a Battle" was a surprise, it's probably the heaviest song I've ever heard Doro sing on, with defined double-bass drumming and high speed and fast guitar riffs. A little on the short side, but a fun headbanging listen. "On The Run" is a nice rocker with a catchy chorus - I find this to be an awesome driving song! Probably my favorite track on the whole album. "I Lay My Head Upon My Sword" is a fairly catchy midtempo song, a bit softer than the previous but a good listen. The ballads "Herzblut," "It Kills Me," "Long Lost For Love," and "Walking With The Angels" remind me again of why Doro Pesch is my favorite vocalist of all time - her rocking singing voice is sexy; gritty, powerful despite aged, but her ballad voice is so soothing, emotional and has this power that gives me chills up and down my spine. "Herzblut" is a very beautiful listen despite being in German, it reminds me of "Fur Immer" as far as feel goes and atmosphere. Buuuut the album's highlight has to be the duet with former Nightwish frontlady Tarja Turunen on "Walking with the Angels" - very interesting combo but their vocals surprisingly work and fit beautifully together! My favorite metal ladies on the same track...and I will use it again: gives me chills up and down my spine.

Overall, I think this is Doro's more metal album, has a lot of hard rockers, ballads, catchy lyrics and more guitar riffs and of course Doro's magnificent performance that reminds us of why she's the metal queen!

*I recommend you find the limited edition: it includes two bonus tracks, "Wildfire" which is a speed metal-hard rocker track and "You Won My Love" which is a more commercial sounding love song but still nice nonetheless.

I have been a fan since the early days of Warlock. When I look back it's hard to believe it has been 20+ years. Doro still sounds as good as the first Warlock album "Burning the Witches". I enjoy listening to every song on this CD as of right now Herzbult is my favorite song. I hope to see her again in concert soon. She has always been a stand out amongst all of the other groups that have come and gone over the years. She believes in what she does and that makes a big difference in the music.
