On this day May 29, 1985, German heavy metal band Warlock released their second studio album Hellbound. Fronted by powerhouse vocalist Doro Pesch, the band continued to build momentum across Europe’s metal scene with this hard-hitting release.
Hellbound delivered a heavier sound than their debut, filled with fast-paced guitar riffs, thunderous drums, and soaring vocals. It showcased Warlock’s growing identity as a driving force in 80s European metal and began earning them a loyal international fanbase.
