DORO RELEASES SURPRISE NEW SINGLE ‘RAISE YOUR FIST IN THE AIR… IN HEAVEN MIX’
9th September 20222023 is set to be a big year for DORO PESCH, who will be celebrating 40 years in music! The highlight is certain to be her anniversary hometown show, taking place on October 28th, 2023, in Düsseldorf.
The metal queen already has another surprise up her sleeve. Today, she has released a very unique single, never-before-heard in the musicians long and successful career: a soulful adaptation of her classic metal anthem ´Raise Your Fist In The Air‘. The single has been made possible by the new ZDF (national German TV channel) music show ‘Music Impossible‘. In a new episode premiering today, viewers can watch DORO compete against German pop singer Mike Singer. Both artists were faced with the challenge of arranging and performing their own song, but in the opposite genre! This meant that DORO had to transform one of her heavy hits into her opponent’s trendy pop sound.
Impossible? Almost. But DORO mastered the challenge with flying colours and won the competition. Together with her producer Andreas Bruhn (ex-Sisters Of Mercy), the metal queen dared to take a unique excursion into the pop genre, creating an electrifying and soulful new version of ´Raise Your Fist In The Air´, which the audience in the Berlin based TV studio loved.
DORO is so enamored with this new version of the song, that ´Raise Your Fist in The Air… In Heaven Mix´ has been released as a digital single via Nuclear Blast – just in time for the television broadcast today. The episode with DORO can be viewed now via the ZDF media library.

DORO commented:
“It was incredibly difficult to find the right song for this format. Making a metal anthem sound pop, yet cool, was even harder. A real balancing act, which I think we managed very well.“
