Well, it's better than giving the credit to Alestorm.

I am a huge fan of Female fronted or formed bands. Something totally under appreciated by most metal fans.
Done right, it adds such a interesting dynamic to the music. If you aren't familiar with one of my all-time favs, Dawn Crosby from the bands Detente and Fear of God, you owe it to yourself as a metalhead to check out Detente's 1986 album, Recognize No Authority, and Fear of God's 1991 album, Within The Veil (a far superior effort, IMHO) Dawn brought such an amazing emotional intensity to her singing that one couldn't hear her and not be blown away. Its a shame she died so young. Drain STH is another of my favorites and its sad that they left so much untapped potential behind when they parted ways. I strongly concur that The Gathering, Lacuna Coil, Within Temptation, To-Mera, Epica, and After Forever are all well worth the time to hunt down all their releases and immerse yourself with them. Just a link here to whet ones appetite for the aforementioned late Dawn Crosby: |

I saw Fear Of God back in 1991 and they put on a hell of a show, although Dawn left the stage in a huff before the last song finished (cool that the band kept playing anyways). She didn't hang out at the bar after they played (not in a good mood) but I wound up hangin' with the bass player for awhile. He was pretty much obssessed with Led Zeppelin, telling me they were his favorite band three times.
I dig plenty of female fronted bands; the vocals add a different dimension to the music. Madder Mortem is my favorite these days, although I do have a soft spot for Edenbridge. Edited by Yog Sothoth - 24 Nov 2011 at 7:08pm |

Wendy O. Williams. Ace Frehley and Lemmy did a lot of songs with her.

I believe so.  Back onto the music, that song made Huntress' debut one of my most anticipated albums for this year. Actually I just realised that almost all my most anticipated albums feature female singers. The new Epica is sounding promising as does the new Hysterica, even if it is cheesy as hell. |

Yeah apparently she does, after doing research and theyre from LA surprisingly  .Seems she (and the Band maybe) are "Wiccan's" , I had my share Wiccan Girls to pursue . . . I turned that "blacklight" off MANY years ago . uh . . . yeah . . . and She's a TALL one too. So weird that they are from a part of town that is a Metro-Rail away.

It should be an outcry as to why women are not taken seriously in Metal. What if someone did not take you seriously when it came to your music because of your sex/gender?

Blood Ceremony
Mount Salem Avatarium female fronted traditional doom, it's becoming some kinda trend, but I don't mind, the music is usually good. Christofer Johnsson of Therion has a new band called Luciferian Light Orchestra, the vocals are quite nice another band I recommend is Blues Pills, not exactly metal but a very good retro-sounding hard rock, think of a mix of Cream, Led Zep and Fleetwood Mac. The vocalist is amazing! |
