The female enchantress, Doro,
has been in the metal scene for over twenty years now. “Fight”
is an album with a different approach of recording. Doro and the band
tried to make an album, “as powerful as possible and as natural
as necessary.” This created a sound that has an atmosphere of
a live performance. The heavier tracks on the CD sounded better to
me, maybe because they were also the catchier tracks. It’s basically,
a traditional heavy metal riffing style on the disc, and any traditional
metal fan should at least appreciate the music. One thing about the
album didn’t make much sense to me. The guitar solos get lost
sometimes behind the rest of the song and I have to pose one question…Why
have a solo if you can’t hear it? This didn’t happen much,
but it was noticeable enough to mention. “Fight” has a
cast of people that helped out with it. Chris Cafferey from Savatage
is featured on “Salvaje,” which is one of my favorite
songs. “Descent” features Peter Steele from Type O Negative.
The mix of enchanting female vocals crossed with an opposite of cavernously
deep male vocal styles works well, and also make this a track unique
enough to be my favorite. Kiss vocalist, Gene Simmons, wrote a track
on this disc as well (“Legends Never Die”). “Fight”
is a good name for the title of a metal album, but the story behind
the naming of this disc is a little more then a “cool name.”
Doro is friends with Woman’s Boxing Champion, Regina Halmich.
They have exchanged appearances at each other’s events in the
past, and Regina used a Doro song for her music when she comes to
the boxing arena. The song “Fight” was written for Regina,
and that is probably why it gained prominence to be the name of the
CD as well. Once again, Doro shows that she can still do what she
has been doing for years, and with the help from her friends she can
still get the blood pumping in her fans. Rating: 71 |
