1. A German heavy metal music band from Düsseldorf, originally assembled in late 1982.
Warlock spent most of the year of 1983 playing in different German clubs, eventually building a steady fan base. After recording a demo and sending it to record labels, the band obtained a contract with independent Belgian label Mausoleum.
The "Mark I" line-up (Doro Pesch on vocals, Peter Szigeti and Rudy Graf on the guitars, Frank Rittel on the bass and Michael Eurich on the drums) recorded the albums Burning the Witches (from 1984) and Hellbound (from 1985), making European tours to market the releases. In early 1985, Warlock signed a contract with label Phonogram. Later that year, in the middle of the tour for the Hellbound album, guitarist Rudy Graf left the band and was replaced by Niko Arvanitis (ex- Stormwind).
True As Steel, released on August 18, 1986, got a fair amount of North American radio airplay due to the hit single Fight For Rock. After this album's release, their first music video for MTV was produced, for the song "Fight For Rock".In August 1986 Warlock opened for the Monsters of Rock at the Maimarktgelände in Mannheim, West Germany when the Scorpions were headlining the all day concert. Def Leppard, Ozzy, MSG and Bon Jovi were also there.
After the tour for the album True As Steel ended, bassist Frank Rittel left, and was replaced by Tommy Henriksen. Guitarist Peter Szigeti also left, giving place to Tommy Bolan (ex-Armed Forces). Warlock then released its fourth album - Triumph And Agony - on September 5, 1987. It would be their last album.
The band proceeded to make its first and sole extensive USA tour - opening Megadeth concerts alongside Sanctuary, and playing several shows on their own with different opening acts, such as Fates Warning, Sword and Lillian Axe. The band split up in December 1987
Drummer Michael Eurich and guitarist Niko Arvanitis were replaced by Bobby Rondinelli (ex-Rainbow) and Jon Levin (currently with Dokken; mislabeled as 'Jon Devin' in Doro's Force Majeure liner notes), respectively. At the end of 1988, Doro Pesch remained the only original member and the only German still in the band. At this time, Peter Zimmermann, the band's ex-manager, sued for rights to the band name and merchandise, and won. Pesch continued to fight for the name, but conceded with record label requests to rename the band DORO in order to continue her career; the first edition of the LP Force Majeure, recorded with the final formation of Warlock, was the last one to expose a sticker with the name of the band next to DORO, with the exception of the compilation Rare Diamonds of 1991. Pesch eventually regained the rights to the name Warlock in 2011, after years of legal battles. Doro is an active band and still performs Warlock songs in their live shows.
Other activities
After his departure from Warlock, Rudy Graf joined the German speed metal band Rage in 1986 and recorded with them the album Execution Guaranteed. Today he's working as a studio musician and songwriter. Frank Rittel , Peter Szigeti and former Snakebite drummer Thomas Franke played in 1987 on Animal House, the first solo album by the former Accept singer Udo Dirkschneider. Rittel and Szigeti formed in the 1990s the melodic metal bands Energy and Coracko, without much success. Michael Eurich formed the band Casanova with singer Michael Voss, which was active at end of the 80s.
Doro Pesch reunited with Szigeti, Arvanitis, Rittel and Eurich to perform as Warlock at her 20th Anniversary celebration concert in Düsseldorf on 13 December 2003 and later at Wacken Open Air festival 2004. More legal troubles over using the name Warlock ensued with former member Rudy Graf and appearances of the reunited band at festivals and special concerts were billed as "Warlock 1986".Frank Rittel quit playing bass and retired from the music business in 2004.
Arvanitis and Szigeti played together in late April 2005 at the 'Rock Classic Allstars' show in Bochum, Germany, with Martin Kesici, Axel Rudi Pell, Kai Hoffmann, Jeff Brown (ex-Sweet) and German soccer star Holger Aden.
In December 2008, Pure Steel Records released the first official tribute album to Warlock, titled Tribute to Steel, with the special appearance of the band members.

All Night
Warlock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your face is so wild
Just like the beak of an eagle that cries.
I feel the danger, but I can't break loose
My heart is on fire
And every flame is called: you
Can you feel my love
You're gonna burn my heart
You're gonna burn my heart
Allright, all night, allright with you !
Feel allright all night
Take me, take me, take me cruel !
You are talking of the night, the demon ready to fight
I am your witch queen
And through thunder and lightning, we ride.
I feel the danger
I can't break loose
You are the son of the devil
I'm longing for you
These lyrics from Warlock's song "All Night" describe a dangerous and intense love affair. The first stanza portrays the object of the singer's affection as a wild and menacing figure, with "evil eyes" that are "cold as ice" and a face that is "wild" like the "beak of an eagle that cries." Despite the danger that this person represents to the singer, they cannot resist their allure or the fiery passion that they feel towards them. Every flame in their heart is "called: you." The chorus of the song is a plea for the object of their affection to feel their love, despite the fact that they are going to "burn [their] heart." They want to feel alright all night long, even if it means being under the cruel grasp of this dangerous lover.
The second stanza brings in mystical elements, with references to demons, witches, and thunder and lightning. The singer identifies themselves as a witch queen and declares that they and their lover ride through the stormy night together. The chorus repeats the earlier plea for their lover to feel their love, even as they devastate their heart.
The song overall creates an intense and dangerous atmosphere, showcasing the thrilling but ultimately destructive nature of this kind of relationship. The use of mystical elements serves to heighten the sense of otherworldly power that this kind of love holds.
