Inspired by this post, I wanted to make a post asking about your favorite metal bands with women in them and maybe your favorite release from them too.
For me, that’d be Crypta. They’re a Brazilian Death Metal band made up of only women. Their Shades of Sorrow album is absolutely incredible with some really mean vocals and great riffing.
- Jinjer
- Ithaca
- The Anchor
Eths, Entheos, Vintersea, Igorr, Diablo Swing Orchestra
No ones said spiritbox yet
Wargasm for your limp bizkit nu metal riffs without the rapping. Currently putting out quality too
- Calva Louise - Third Class Citizen
- Heriot - Coalescence
- Capra - The Locust Preacher
- Ex People - Dread
- Cassyette - BOOM
Edit - thought of a couple more…
- Black Moth - Blackbirds Fall
- Vodun - Mawu
I’d recommend Ragana. Excellent black metal duo who happen to be women.
Smoulder is a great trad/doom band with a female vocalist. Savage Master is a really fun trad band with a female vocalist. Castle Rat is a cool new doom band with a female vocalist.
Undead corporation
Most of the bands I would mention have already been listed by others, but I would suggest Ad Infinitum. I love how fast she switches from a clear, beautiful singing voice to a low growl and back.
First bands that come to my mind are…
- Asagraum (black metal)
- blackened nocturn slaughtercult (black metal)
- messa (doom metal)
Potestas magicum diaboli. First album from asagraum. I remember listening to it over and over. It felt fresh for me at that time and it aged really well.
Jinjer is pretty badass. The vocals are top notch in both ends of the spectrum.
I’m surprised I had to scroll this far to see Jinjer! Seriously impressive vocals, and absolutley one of my favorite female metal vocalists.
Hear, hear!
Dissemination
Adding one more: Battle Beast. Noora Louhimo’s voice just remained imprinted in my brain. Can’t really pick a favorite release.
Cradle of filth
In this moment
Kitty (not so much anymore, was old band)
In This Moment has some amazing covers sprinkled throughout their catalogue.
In The Air Tonight (slow burn, just trust) We Will Rock You Call Me
Looks like they covered “Surrender” too, but I havent listend to that one yet.
