German rocker Doro made her name fronting fantasy-metal specialists Warlock before going solo in 1989. A pair of albums co-produced by Gene Simmons (Kiss) stiffed, but constant touring, particularly in Europe—and albums crammed with shout-out rockers—established her as a force in metal, influenced as much by Iron Maiden as The Runaways. Doro tackled electronic music by '98's Love Me in Black, but soon returned to the rock, earning the moniker “Metal Queen” before the 2012 release of her monster album Raise Your Fist.
