Warrior Soul is the tenth studio album of the German female hard rock singer Doro Pesch. It was released worldwide in 2006 by AFM Records.[4]
The recording of the album took a prolonged time, due to singer Doro Pesch filming the movie Anuk – Der Weg des Kriegers, starring as 'Meha'. The film was shot in Switzerland in 2005 and directed by Luke Gasser.[5] The song "Warrior Soul" is included in the movie soundtrack and Gasser is credited as co-producer of the album, which was partially recorded in Switzerland with session musicians.
The album was published also as an enhanced CD with different bonus tracks and multimedia sections. It was also published in a boxed Winter edition, containing a bonus disc of unreleased and live tracks and other gadgets.
The album reached position No. 27 on the German Longplay chart.[6]
