Visions Of Atlantis has two singers, male and female, with the female being the lead. I forget their names, and I know a quick google search would tell me, but I'm having trouble balancing this message and the steering wheel, plus this bowl of soup is REALLY hot.

I saw Visions open for Korpiklaani last May and quickly fell in love with them. Illumishade also opened, another band with a female vocalist.
That's awesome, did they play Master The Hurricane? That song makes me speed in parking lots.
First song in the setlist.
Closet Witch
Sylvaine
Frayle
Cellar Darling
Tristania
After Forever
Just to name a handful off the top of my head.
The lead singer canβt sing anymore so they broke up. But Unsun was great.
I always liked this Faye Wong song. Not hard enough to be metal, but I think it's still edgy and kind of haunting.
Gotta mention Spiritbox. Courtney is one of the most celebrated modern metalcore singers.
She absolutely deserves her flowers though, people who can switch from beautiful cleans to hatefully-heavy screams are crazy talented.
Their new album is pretty damn great too, glad they stuck the landing on the sophomore LP.
Lots of great bands here already, and some new to me! One of my favorites I haven't seen here is Spiritbox... Courtney Laplante reminds me of Angela Gossow and Tatiana Shmayluk, she has the nice clean vocals as well as the super gutteral growl.
I really like Nao from Maximum the Hormone, a Japanese metal band.
Great drummer, great voice, and she is hilarious. Her banter with Daisuke on their radio show they used to host was god damn hilarious.
Recently, Oceans Of Slumber, great combination of beauty and brutality
I also discoverd a few months back Haydee Irizarry from Aversed and Carnivora, but I can't find any recent stuff with her (at least in metal) which is sad since she seems to be a talented vocalist and musician
But also a good bunch of bands : Jinjer, Kittie, ETHS, Crypta, Stolen Babies, anything with Anneke van Giersbergen
I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot since I only thought about vocalists (Gorod, for example, had a beast of a female drummer on their early albums)
My bits:
Amaranthe
Angtoria
Cinnamon Babe
Dorothy
Nightwish
Venus 5
Unleash the Archers, many good ones but I really like the album Apex and especially Shadow Guide and The Matriarch
A Sound of Thunder, Queen of hell and A Sound of Thunder might be my favorites but many greats imo
I discovered Brutus a few weeks ago. Stefanie Mannaerts is the vocalist and plays the drums simultaneously. The power in her voice while smashing the hell out of her drums... incredible. I was blown away when I saw a Video of her performance and realized it. What Have We Done is probably my favorite.
CASTLE RAT
Arch Enemy is another one.
Doomsday Machine (https://tidal.com/album/51971329?u) great album.
If you like them The Agonist is a good band in the same vein. Alissa White-Glutz fronted them until she left for arch enemy and was replaced by Vicky Psarakis
Nightwish.
Favorite release: Once (https://tidal.com/album/186100020?u)
Imaginaerum is a fun album, Scaretale and the first half of Song of Myself are great.
In addition to the bands already listed I wanted to add:
Burning Witches is an all female Swiss heavy/power metal band. I found them while listening to Dio covers.
Frozen Crown is a female fronted Italian Power Metal band.
Volturian is a female fronted Italian symphonic metal band.
Arkona - the best folk metal Hulder - great black metal
Iβll be seeing Arkona again in < two weeks!
The Breeders kicked fucking ass - Kim Deal went on to form the Pixies but her first project is absolutely worth a listen as well.
Fuck yeah Crypta. Fernanda has a monstrous stage presence.
Sadly I just read that JΓ©ssica di Falchi (guitar) left the band the other day.
Hmm, I always have a hard time picking favorites, but I've always enjoyed Halestorm! Pretty sure "can u see me in the dark?" has been pinned in the number one spot of my On Repeat playlist on Spotify for a couple of months now... Lzzy's vocals are fantastic in it!
Also, a couple of years ago Alex Reade joined Make Them Suffer, and I've been enjoying their latest album (also called Make Them Suffer), a few of the tracks from that album (Epitaph, Oscillator, Weaponized, and Small Town Syndrome) have also coincidentally been stuck in my On Repeat playlist for a while.
Maria Brink and In This Moment
I saw the "Women in Metal" title and thought this would be a thread about women in trade jobs (i.e. metalworking).
Anna Murphy (ex-Eluveitie, Cellar Darling) is probably my top metal hottie
Iβd like to recommend the 2 plasmatics albums; βCoup dβEtaβ and βMaggots: the recordβ.
Maybe not exactly what people are here for but iβd be remiss if I didnβt mention these amazingly heavy albums.
Wendy O Williams was and will forever be the queen of anarcho punk rock.
Too bad she decided to leave, but it was her way to go.
Daedric.
The coop with Dal Av is amazing!
Jinjer.
Dark Castle - Surrender to All Life Beyond Form
Female-fronted stoner/sludge doom.
Saw them open for the almighty YOB back in 2011. Stevie Floyd is a badass.
I've heard of Dark Castle as Stevie Floyd is the now ex-wife of Jef Whitehead who's my favorite musician period. I haven't actually listened to any of their stuff though, maybe I should give them a try?
