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.

Make Time For Love
Warlock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To wipe down this slate
But it don't really matter
I'm a soldier of fate
Takes a life-time of pure desire
A passionate saint
To watch the children lie dying
My heart is a lion
That no-one can tame
But I'm falling, I'm falling
I'm falling in love
Oh love don't let me walk away from
Love don't let me be afraid of
Love don't wanna fade without love
Oh I must make time for love
I'm standin' on a field of fire
I'm a rollin' thunder
No-one can save
But it don't really matter
To a fortunate slave
The flames gettin' higher
I pray for rain
And I'm falling
I'm falling, I'm falling in love
Oh love don't let me walk away from
Love don't let me be afraid of
Love don't wanna fade without love
Oh I must make time for love
And my heart is a lion
That no one can tame
But I'm falling
I'm falling, I'm falling in love
Oh love - don't let me walk away from
Love don't let me be afraid of
Love don't wanna fade without love
Oh I must make time
Love don't let me walk away from
Love don't let me be afraid of
Love don't wanna fade
Without love
Don't let me walk away
Don't let me be afraid
Don't let me walk away
Don't wanna fade without love
Without love
The lyrics to Warlock's song "Make Time For Love" speak to the struggles of life and the need for love in the midst of it all. The opening lines speak to a lifetime of battle and the challenge of wiping down the slate of one's life. Despite this, the singer feels as though they are a soldier of fate and that they are meant to be on this path. The next few lines again speak to the struggles of life, but this time from a spiritual perspective. It takes a lifetime of pure desire and passion to truly understand what it means to watch children dying outside of heaven's gate. The singer acknowledges the pain and suffering in the world, and seems to suggest that it takes a deeper understanding of love to reconcile this.
The chorus is where the singer really drives home the central message of the song - that love is essential and must be prioritized over everything else. The singer acknowledges that their heart is like a lion, wild and untameable, but at the same time they are falling in love and want to make time for it. The images of standing on a field of fire and rolling thunder evoke a sense of chaos and violence, but even in the midst of this, the singer recognizes the need for love. The final repetition of the chorus with the refrain "don't let me walk away" emphasizes the importance of staying committed to love, even when it's difficult.
Line by Line Meaning
Takes a life-time of battle
It requires a lifetime of struggles and conflict
To wipe down this slate
To erase the past mistakes and regrets
But it don't really matter
Despite the effort, it's not important
I'm a soldier of fate
I'm bound to my destiny
Takes a life-time of pure desire
It needs an unwavering commitment
A passionate saint
Someone who is devoted and spiritual
To watch the children lie dying
To witness the innocent suffering and dying
Outside of heaven's gate
Beyond the realm of comfort and peace
My heart is a lion
My heart is fierce and untamed
That no-one can tame
Nobody can control it
But I'm falling, I'm falling
But I'm losing control
I'm falling in love
I'm falling for someone deeply
Oh love don't let me walk away from
I don't want to leave behind love
Love don't let me be afraid of
I don't want to be fearful of love
Love don't wanna fade without love
I don't want to lose the love I have
Oh I must make time for love
I must prioritize my love life
I'm standin' on a field of fire
I'm in the middle of chaos and danger
I'm a rollin' thunder
I'm powerful and unstoppable
No-one can save
There's no way to escape
But it don't really matter
Nevertheless, it's meaningless
To a fortunate slave
To someone who is lucky in their misfortune
The flames gettin' higher
The danger is increasing
I pray for rain
I hope for a change in the situation
And I'm falling, I'm falling
And I'm losing control
Without love
In the absence of love
