Hear metal queen Doro Pesch uncork heavy cover of Fleetwood Mac’s Go Your Own Way featuring Whitesnake and Sepultura members
Metal singer Doro Pesch has released a heavy cover of Fleetwood Mac's classic Go Your Own Way, teaming up with Whitesnake guitarist Joel Hoekstra and Sepultura drummer Grayson Nekrutman. The track is a preview of the upcoming tribute album Steel Rumours: The Songs Of Fleetwood Mac Reforged In Metal, which reimagines the band's catalogue in a rock and metal style ahead of its release later this year.
The compilation is due out on 20 November via Cleopatra Records and features a roster of heavyweight metal musicians, including former Judas Priest vocalist Tim "Ripper" Owens, ex-Black Sabbath/Dio drummer Vinny Appice, Rainbow singer Ronnie Romero and Blackmore's Night's Candice Night. Go Your Own Way was originally written by Lindsey Buckingham about his breakup with bandmate Stevie Nicks and became a Top 10 US hit after its 1976 release, reaching number 38 in the UK; it has since been covered by acts including Biffy Clyro, The Cranberries and NOFX. It marks Doro's first new material since her 2023 album Conqueress – Forever Strong and Proud.

Metal singer Doro Pesch, often described as one of heavy metal's leading female vocalists, has spent decades fronting bands and building a solo career in the genre. She is now releasing a new version of "Go Your Own Way," a song originally written and recorded by Fleetwood Mac in the 1970s, reworked in a heavier rock style with guest musicians drawn from other well-known metal and hard rock bands.
The track forms part of a larger project: a tribute album that takes songs from Fleetwood Mac's back catalogue and reinterprets them in a metal style, featuring contributions from various established musicians across the rock and metal scene. Fleetwood Mac themselves were a hugely successful band whose songs, including this one, have remained popular and been covered by many artists over the years.
This release also matters because it represents Doro's first new music in a couple of years, giving fans a fresh point of reference for her ongoing output alongside the wider tribute album it is intended to promote.
