The best of Zed Yago, November 2, 2009
Clearly following in Warlock's footsteps, Zed Yago is a female-fronted heavy metal band from Germany with a penchant for the dramatic. They actually branded their form of music "dramatic metal", which essentially means Warlock with more songs about Pirates and Camelot. Singer Jutta Weinhold has a lot of the power and emotion of Doro Pesch, but with less affinity for ballads. If Ronnie James Dio ever wrote an album for Doro, it would probably sound a lot like Zed Yago.
SPV's 2002 collection From the Twilight Zone serves as a retrospective of Weinhold's tenure with the band. The 2-disc set includes material from both Zed Yago studio albums (1988's From Over Yonder and 1989's Pilgrimage) as well as previously unreleased live recordings and demos, and a video clip for "Black Bone Song." It's more than enough to give you a good idea of what the band was all about, and is probably all the Zed Yago a casual fan will ever need.
