Warlock--Triumph and Agony

Warlock--Triumph and Agony (1987) Rating--7.1

Led by (then) blonde bombshell Dora Pesch, this cutting release blends the vocal bite of Phantom Blue with slight musical offerings of a Dokken, and occasionally even commercial and riff-driven Priest. However, the precision levels of those bands are not always achieved. A decent enough platter, but the overall song quality drops off towards the end as Pesch tends to go a little overkill on the vox, and screams and screeches several songs into slight annoyance.
The top highlights are "Three Minute Warning," "I Rule the Ruins," and "Kiss of Death," which, along with lead single and cruncher "All We Are," display fast riffs and strong six-string chops. "East Meets West" and "Metal Tango" both stand strong as well, as the overall good guitar sound of this release shines brightly.
A good buy for those who love female vox with their metal.
TRACK LIST: All We Are/Three Minute Warning/I Rule the Ruins/Kiss of Death/Make Time For Love/East Meets West/Touch of Evil/Metal Tango/Cold, Cold World/Fur Immer
