The night of July 8, 2025, will be remembered by metal fans everywhere: Doro Pesch, the undisputed Metal Queen, and the German troupe Feuerschwanz unleashed “Valhalla”, a clash of titans featured on Knightclub, the album the band released on August 22, 2025, via Napalm Records and now streaming worldwide and available in physical editions.

From the very first riff, you can feel two worlds colliding: Doro’s gritty, luminous voice rides over Feuerschwanz’s razor-sharp guitars and fiery violins. The result is an epic anthem evoking Nordic battles, with choruses that beg you to raise your fist and dive into the myth.

The official video—premiered alongside the single—amplifies that sense of a grand quest: warriors, flames, and a stage design steeped in gunpowder and metal revelry. Soon after came the “Valhalla (Epic Edition)”, adding orchestral arrangements that push the drama to almost cinematic heights.
When it comes to the artists behind this alliance, Doro Pesch stands as a true pioneer and an enduring icon of heavy metal. She first captured the spotlight in the ’80s as the frontwoman of Warlock and has carried that fire through an unstoppable solo career, touring the globe and keeping the classic spirit of metal alive with a voice as powerful as it is charismatic.

Feuerschwanz, meanwhile, emerged in 2004 with a playful, medieval-tinged folk-metal sound, but over the last decade, they have transformed into one of Europe’s most commanding acts. Their albums climb the German charts, and their live performances—bursting with bagpipes, guitars, and irrepressible energy—turn every show into a celebration.
