Calling the Wild

Gone from the U.S. metal scene for almost ten years, Doro has reappeared with a powerful new album. With the heavy songs heavier than you’d expect from her petite form, and the ballads deeper than most metal acts get credit for, Doro’s return is complete. And she didn’t come alone… With her are Al Pitrelli, Slash, Eric Singer, Bob Kulick and metal legend Lemmy. While her two duets with Lemmy and her cover of Billy Idol’s White Wedding are reason enough to buy the album, my favorite song is the haunting ballad, Scarred. In any case, this is a classy return of one of metal’s top ladies. --Scott
