need more diversity. Tired of seeing cishet white males
EDIT: Here’s what we know:
- Gaylord
- Electromancy
- Dispossessed
- Davghter
Bolt thrower, animals as leaders, suffocation, suicidal tendencies, alien weaponry, bloodywood, the hu, ningen isu, Boris, arch enemy, e-an-na, eluveitie, frozen crown, windhand, plus a ton of other folk/power/symphonic metal bands and quite a few chicks in the stoner/doom scene.
windhand is good, and yeah seen some women vocalists in stoner/doom
Baby metal, kittie, Halestorm, linkin park, shadows fall, sleep token. Thats a few i can think of off the top of my head.
Edit: paramore, sepultura
Lots of choice in the Japanese scene: Lovebites, Nemophila, Hanabie, Broken by the Scream, Neon Oni, 88kasyo junrei, Maximum the Hormone.
Other non-western bands: Myrath, Bloodywood, Asterism, Dead Pioneers.
Western bands: Arch Enemy, The Agonist, Epica, Within Temptation, Eths, Blue Medusa, Melissa Bonny, Wargasm (UK), Die Spitz, Scene Queen, Lambrini Girls.
Also, Dragonforce now has two female band members and one from Hong Kong.
If you search the internet for terms like “female fronted metal” and “African metal” you’ll find lots of bands.
Also, Youtube is really good for discovering bands like this because the thumbnails will often show you the band members. Just look up a niche band and start clicking all the recommendations.
great suggestions!
Babymetal are really good, by the way. They’ve used a lot of different subgenres for their songs and they often mix things up in a fun way.
Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza. Animals as Leaders. Employed to Serve. Heriot. Cerebral Bore. Chepang. Made out of Babies/Julie Christmas. Escuela Grind. Agoraphobic Nosebleed. fluoride. Human Leather. Pupil Slicer.
Probably a lot more. But I am tired. YMMV.
Otep and Zeal & Ardor come to mind. You could also call some of the stuff Ho99o9 do metal adjacent.
Edit: Oh, and Skindred of course. I also keep confusing Opeth and Otep.
Spirit Box, Conquer Divide, Sleep Theory, Sevendust, House of Protection, PinkNoise, Mirar, Ankor, Lacuna Coil, Cassyette
Ayyy Mirar’s based and great
oceans of slumber is a great start
Unleash The Archers, Jinger, Sepultura, Bloodywood, Upon a Burning Body, Walls of Jericho, Rage Against The Machine, Kittie.
hell yeah! tbh Selputura is the only one we know with a POC.
Some power and symphonic metal bands with women:
-Battle Beast
-Brothers of Metal
-Temperance
-Nightwish
-Ignea
-Amaranthe
I’m having a harder time coming up with non-white, though that might be because I don’t keep track of band members. I’ll have to check out the other responses later.
One of my favorites hasn’t been mentioned. Or at least I didn’t see it.
- Crypta
All female Brazilian band. I don’t know or care about their sexuality.
Oooooo :0
roman candle, brutus, delta hate, oceano, entheos, filth
Before the band Brutus that is fronted by a woman, there was a different band called Brutus that is pretty solid: https://youtu.be/mFiK9sjIlmA?is=dbGoqofPcWnD3KCm
Entheos rules.
Ruby the Hatchet, Castle Rat, Messa, Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard, Year of the Cobra
Oddly enough, when it comes to metal/hardcore/pink there is a ton of diversity. These are some of my favourites!
- Misyrion
- Castle Rat
- Punitive damage
- Days spent
- Soul glo
@elomekra
