alongside their label mates Steeler. Unfortunately, bad distribution and poor financing for the tour from the record label crippled the commercial potential of the album, leaving the band profoundly dissatisfied with Mausoleum. Hellbound and True as Steel In early 1985, the band signed a contract with the major label Phonogram and recorded their second album Hellbound, produced by Henry Staroste and released in May 1985 on Vertigo Records in Europe. The band started to receive attention from the media and appeared in TV shows in the UK and Germany. Their first full European tour brought them to Camden Palace Theater in London, where the concert was filmed for Warlock's first video release Metal Racer. Warlock's live performance was welcomed with a rave review by the British magazine Kerrang! and the group was elected 'Best New Band' of 1985 in the Readers' Poll of that magazine. Doro Pesch was also elected Best Female Singer by the readers of the music magazine Metal Forces at the end of 1984. The band played at the Metal Hammer Festival at Loreley, Germany in September, alongside Metallica, Venom, Running Wild, Pretty Maids, Nazareth and Wishbone Ash. Later that year, after the tour for Hellbound, guitarist Rudy Graf left the band and was replaced by Niko Arvanitis, a former bandmate of Rittel in Stormwind. This updated line-up recorded the album True as Steel in May–June 1986, produced again by Henry Staroste and mixed in the US by Michael Wagener. The album received mixed reviews, but was Warlock's highest-charting in Germany, climbing up to No. 18, and got a fair amount of radio airplay in the US, due to the single "Fight for Rock". The band's first music video was made for that song and appeared on MTV. On 16 August 1986, Doro Pesch was the first woman to front a band at the Monsters of Rock festival at Castle Donington, England, where Warlock played on the same stage of Motörhead, Def Leppard, Ozzy Osbourne and Scorpions. Warlock opened also the Monsters of Rock festival at the Maimarktgegelände Eisstadion in Mannheim, West Germany, with a roster similar to the British show and the addition of McAuley Schenker Group and Bon Jovi. 1986 and 1987 were spent on a tour which included UK dates supporting W.A.S.P., and European dates supporting metal superstars Judas Priest, during their 'Fuel for Life' tour.
