Customer Reviews of This Album/CD |

 Warlock's Classic album and one of the greatest in the genre.
Submitted on: 2009-05-31 |

A true classic of the late 80s Metal scene is this Power Metal release, the last of four amazing albums from Germany's Warlock. The band was basically Accept with a sexy female vocalist. It was a good simple formula and Doro Pesch's vocals were unique and strangely soulful, while remaining committed to Metal. The heaviness was hardly compromised and this may be the most succesful Metal act with a Female vocalist ever.
The songs are all classics, but leading the pack is the album's opener and the band's most beloved track that being the insanely anthemic, "All We Are". The lyrics to this one don't really make alot of sense, but it's one of the most singable and fun Metal recordings ever. The track is firmly established among the list of great Hard Rock/Metal anthems.
"I Rule the Ruins' is probally my personal favorite Warlock song with a commanding Halford like dominance by Doro in a song about a destroyed relationship that could find itself repaired. The riff by lead guitarist, "T.Bolan" is a classic and this ranks as much a fistpumper as an emotional epic.
Other classics include Metallic speedsters like "Three Minute Warning"(complete with Doro making some cute noise on the mic in the beginning), the heavy "Kiss of Death", and the melodic, " East Meets West".
The album closes with the masterful balladry of "Fur Immer", which features one of Ms. Pesch's most passionate vocal performances, singing in both German and English.
This is a thoroughly delightful Metal album that all serious students of the genre should have in his/her collection. That especially rings true if you enjoy Accept and the vintage Metal sound of the 80s. I'd reccomend the other three Warlock albums as well, but this is the one to own. A classic all the way.
Doro still rules the ruins.
Cover Art:I love this cover. Totally awesome painting depicting a Warlock/Demon Guy feeling up Doro Pesch on the cover, who's looking typically sexy in tight black leather and showing alot of skin. I love where the Demon dude's hands ended up! Ha! Totally sets up the mood of this album perfectly.
Special Note: One of my fifty favorite albums of all time. |

| triumph and agony has to be warlocks best album to date! being that its song tracks include all we are, i rule the ruins, kiss of death, three minute warning, These are just a few of the great jams on this record. Also, with this being doro pesch's final album with warlock, even though they they only put out 4 albums and a demo i would recomend triumph and agony over burning the witches, hellbound and heart of steel. Though i own all 4 albums i play Triumph and agony the most becuse it has the most hits on it. Their hardest album out of the set, has to be hellbound, for the simple reason is the riffs! but not their best. If your more into thrash u may want to buy burning the witches, cause it was warlock's debut album and it rips!! but Triumph and agony kicks majorly!!! The opening track, All we are, comes out with a bang like a major punch to the face!! buy it, play it, and you wont be sorry. Not to mention, it features tommy bolin on lead and rhythm guitar!! if you dont know who tommy bolin is, he is the T.Rex guy that did get it on, (bang a gong)! and was with deep purple with whitesnake legend david coverdale,on lead vocals, before whitesnake. well i hope this review helps you out i recomend this album more than most considering that i own many cds, lp's and i play this the most! buy it and let the rockin begin!!!!!!.UP THE IRONS!!!! |

Save some money and download it as a single track somewhere. Don't waste your money and time on the rest of the album. There's a reason that's the only song anyone even remotely remembers from this group.
Doro seems to have made it her mission to come off as super-bad biker chick who can hang with the Boys, like a younger Lita Ford with less pop. Problem is, even Lita can sing better than her, and that's not saying much for Lita. |

This is some of the BEST 80's heavy metal of that decade. Doro really belts out her sexy soul. The entire record is consistant with pure heavy metal bliss. 'All We Are' is surely an anthem that makes you shout along and pump your fist in the air, and an absolute requirement in her live shows.
Highly Recommended! |

I don't understand what everyone sees in this album. I have listened to a lot of metal and this does absolutely nothing for me. Maybe it's the production - all the sounds are smoothed over so much that there is no punch to the guitar, or anything other than Doro Pesch's voice. All We Are is pretty good, but everything else reeks of generic 80's metal - from songs about metal ("Metal Tango") to lyrics like
I have no mercy
I tell no lies
I kiss the strangers
And then watch them die
("Kiss Of Death")
there are a lot better 80's metal albums for your money's worth. If you are a fan of old-school metal or hair metal, and don't mind elements of the other in your music, then give it a listen. Otherwise, pick up something like Powerslave or British Steel for some good 80's metal. |
