Warlock was a German heavy metal music band from Düsseldorf, originally assembled in late 1982. By the end of the 1980s, singer Doro Pesch was the sole original member whom remained in the band, and thus proceeded to form Doro, a band which was essentially a continuation of Warlock under a different name. The band Doro has several classic songs from Warlock on its repertoire.
