Celebrate – The Night of the Warlock is an EP by German hard rock singer Doro Pesch, released in 2008 through AFM Records. The EP was released a few months before the album Fear No Evil and includes three versions of the song "Celebrate". In the single version, the chorus features a group of Doro fans, while the other two versions include chorus vocals by Saxon's frontman Biff Byford and several female heavy metal singers. The song, a collaboration between Doro and her former Warlock producer Joey Balin, commemorates the 25th anniversary of Doro's career.[2]
