Originally released in 1989, Force Majeure marked the beginning of Doro Pesch’s solo career after the end of Warlock — a transition that cemented her status as Germany’s reigning metal icon.

This 2025 Vertigo Berlin picture disc reissue brings the album back in a stunning visual format, complete with new liner notes written by Doro herself . The remaster preserves the album’s blend of hard‑rock hooks and heavy‑metal grit, showcasing Doro’s unmistakable voice across classics like A Whiter Shade of Pale, World Gone Wild, and Hellraiser.

Why This Record Is in the Crimson Vinyl Collection

Because Force Majeure is a milestone — the moment Doro stepped out from Warlock’s shadow and proved she could command the stage entirely on her own terms.

This 2025 picture disc edition is exactly the kind of premium, story‑rich release Crimson Vinyl champions: visually striking, historically important, and pressed in strictly limited quantities. It’s a centrepiece for any heavy‑metal collection.
