"This fist Warlock/Doro album from 1984 is rockin'. If you like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and heavy metal of that style, check out Warlock. Blazing guitars, speed-thrash drums, and scorching vocals. Flat-out awesome album, pretty hardcore for 1984."

Warlock's debut and a must for Power Metal fans.....

"Warlock was one of the 80s most interesting Power metal acts,with the hard guitar sound of Accept melded with the sexy,raspy vocals of a female,the diminutive Doro Pesch.

Female fronted metal bands don't always work for alot of metal's largely male fanbase,and that's because the gruffness and tougness of vocals is missing....not so with Warlock.

Doro's vocals capture a power that creates a certain kind of danger that makes her voice unique in the metal world,seductive and tough,all at once.

Burning the Witches was the band's debut and it's a very fun listen.

It's heavy,in the vein of Judas Priest and Accept,with lyrics about the usual hard partying and evil stuff.

Stand outs are classics like "Hateful Guy","Dark Fade" and the Title track.

Not as good as later efforts,like "Triumph and Agony",but still classic metal well worth listening.

And if your an Accept band....this is there sister band,so to speak.

One of Germany's best metal acts.

Note:Very Cute Cover....I hope that cute little witch dosen't get burned!"
