DW History And Culture takes a deep dive into both the big and small questions around art and culture, bringing to life the historical moments which shape our present and future.
Their latest documentary focuses on how women are conquering the metal world. Check it out below.
"Metal bands are tough, hairy, loud, and especially… male. So goes the cliche but is it that really true? We take you on a deep dive into the history of women in the metal scene and highlight bands and singers such as Doro Pesch, Burning Witches, Slave To Sirens and Nervosa.
What were the first female metal bands? What prejudices do the bands face? Is metal really a safe space? And what will the future of metal look like? All questions we will find an answer to in this documentary."
It has been an exciting year for Doro. The metal queen has been celebrating her 40-years anniversary with two big and unforgettable shows, as headliner at Wacken Open Air and in the sold out Mitsubishi Electric Halle in her former hometown of Düsseldorf. And the new album Conqueress - Forever Strong and Proud has been released and hit the German charts at #5.
Today, Doro wants to thank all her fans with the digital release of "True Metal Maniacs", an exceptional song that tells about the deep connection with her fans. It comes along with a very special video with live footage from Wacken Open Air, the Monsters Of Rock festival in Brazil and her anniversary show in Düsseldorf.
Doro comments: "'True Metal Maniacs' is a very special anthem for my fans. The song expresses the strong unity and shared love of music and tells of a deep bond. 'True Metal Maniacs' brings back fond memories and at the same time makes me look forward to a great metal year 2024!"
