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.

Touch Of Evil
Warlock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's nothing left for me to lose
I shoot to kill if I desire
I walk away if I so choose
Four thousand filthy stinkin' liars
Tell me there's nothin' I can do
I don't forget, I don't grow tired
Alles klar bad is good
You better listen till it's understood
There's a touch of evil in my mind
There's a touch of evil in these eyes
There's a touch of evil
There's a touch of evil
This time a touch of evil
There's a fever floatin' round my brain
So many things I can't explain
You better listen, better get it into your head
No regrets for anything I've said
Alles klar bad is good
I'm gonna tell you till it's understood
A touch of evil
In my mind
A touch of evil
Alles klar, alles good
Now I'm here in your neighborhood
There's a touch of evil in my mind
There's a touch of evil in these eyes
There's a touch of evil
There's a touch of evil
There's a touch of evil in my mind
There's a touch of evil in these eyes
There's a touch of evil in my mind
There's a touch of evil in these eyes
A touch of evil in my mind
A touch of evil in these eyes
A touch of evil
The lyrics to Warlock's "Touch of Evil" depict a character who is ruthless and unforgiving. The singer states that there's nothing left for them to lose and they will shoot to kill if they desire or they will walk away if they choose to. They have been told that there's nothing they can do, but they don't forget and they won't grow tired. These lines suggest that the singer has been wronged, and they seek retribution for the mistreatment they have received, regardless of the consequences.
The chorus of the song emphasizes that there's a "touch of evil" present in the singer's mind and eyes. They assert that they can't explain what's happening to them, but they won't regret what they've said or done. The repeated refrain of "alles klar bad is good" is a German phrase that means "all clear, bad is good." The use of this phrase in the song adds to the ominous and unsettling mood. The song concludes with the singer asserting that there's a "touch of evil" in their mind and eyes, signifying that there's no turning back from the path of revenge they have chosen.

Outside this flamin' ring of fire
I am outside my comfort zone and willing to take risks
There's nothing left for me to lose
I have already lost everything and am fearless
I shoot to kill if I desire
I am not afraid to use violence to achieve my goals
I walk away if I so choose
I am in control of my actions and can leave situations at any time
Four thousand filthy stinkin' liars
There are many people who have betrayed me
Tell me there's nothin' I can do
They say that there is no way to redeem myself
I don't forget, I don't grow tired
I have a long memory and never give up
Someday I'll do the same to you
I will have my revenge
Alles klar bad is good
Everything is clear and good, even if it seems bad
You better listen till it's understood
Pay attention until you comprehend
There's a touch of evil in my mind
There is a dark side within me
There's a touch of evil in these eyes
I have a sinister look
There's a touch of evil
I am capable of wickedness
This time a touch of evil
Right now, I'm feeling particularly evil
There's a fever floatin' round my brain
My mind is consumed by something uncontrollable
So many things I can't explain
There are mysteries that I cannot understand
You better listen, better get it into your head
Pay attention and comprehend what I'm saying
No regrets for anything I've said
I stand by what I have spoken
Now I'm here in your neighborhood
I have come to your territory
There's a touch of evil in my mind
I have dark intentions
There's a touch of evil in these eyes
My eyes reveal my malevolent intentions
A touch of evil
I have a bit of wickedness in me
A touch of evil in my mind
I have a penchant for evil thoughts
A touch of evil in these eyes
My eyes reflect my malevolent thoughts

Glad to say my 8 yr old daughter has been playing this back to back for the 3rd time today. I was a year older than her when I started my journey into metal.. So seems to be the right age to introduce her to such a Goddess.
Owen Fitzgerald

" I don`t forget, I don`t grow tired - some day I`ll do the same to you" This line has become my philosophy of life for a reason.
AllllllllRightyThen
I bought T&A on cassette on release. My skin melted off my body at the end of her SCREAM . . then my box exploded in a ball of fire. Hate to say it cause I'm a Maiden fan ( early years ), but Doro's SCREAM makes Dickinson's Number of the Beast scream sound like a baby crying ( ok . . . a DEMON Baby . . both are AWESOME Screams!)
George Boyd
Damn, her vocals on this song, raises the hairs on the back of my neck. And yes, that's a good thing!
