 Y'know this is something often under looked. There are a lot of female artists in music, that every year are recognized for their beauty, grace, and most of all, the sound.
 
I'm a metal head. Sure, I listen to everything, but metal is a passion. And women in metal are sadly unappreciated by a lot of people. Their out rocking just as hard as the rest of us, and looking hella sexy doing it. So here are some of my favorites. 
  
 
 


  Angela Gossow of Arch Enemy. This Swedish beauty isn't a model, but damn, she could pass for one. I've been listening to her rock the hell out of a stage since Doomsday Machine, and I've loved her ever since. 
 
Next up is Kittie. An entire band made up of sexy Canadian rockers. The band was formed by two girls met in a gymnastics class. At the very least, you have to admit that it's impressive. 
 
 
 
  And the best thing? The lead singer isn't even the hottest one. And you've got a crowd full of grown men thrashing around to this.
 
Jen Ledger. God, I love this girl. 
 

No Caption Provided
She's rather gorgeous, isn't she? Now I don't discriminate in my hard rock. She's the drummer for the christian group Skillet
 
  Why she's in the back is beyond me, but I love her voice.
 
Anyway, those are a few samplings from the world of women in metal. Maybe this will become a regular thing on my blog. Let me know who YOU enjoy behind the mic when it comes to women in metal.

I wouldn't call Skillet metal per se. If you like women and metal. What about Epica?

The chick from Arch Enemy is and always has looked completely creepy singing in that growl of hers.

@Dane: Sometimes I'm convinced she's trying to summon the devil. I've got a picture of her in one of my gallery's though, and she looks banging.

Women do not belong in metal. The only thing they have done to the metal scene is fill it with pseudo-opera crap.

@Lance Uppercut: So let me rephrase. Women in metal only produce pseudo-opera crap, or generic run of the mill crap. Otep is an example of the latter.

@Great Evil Beast: At this point, it's fairly obvious that you're only here to provide negative criticism in order to get a rise out of people. Some advice. Quit while you're ahead, and if you don't like it, leave.

I just do not understand how people could listen to such filth. Females are a disgrace to the male created scene of metal. True metal are bands like Slayer and Iron Maiden. Most people who listen to these female vocalists have emo tendencies buried within them.

I just don't understand why you feel like insulting a group of people that enjoy the same genre, or why you feel the only good metal is what you listen to. Once again, if you don't like it, leave.

Firstly, female vocal bands that have electric guitars are not in the same genre. They're in a total class of trash on their own. Secondly, I think most of the metal world agrees with me that female vocals are nothing compared to the classics. Name some metal groups with female lead singers that are in the music hall of fame. I bet you can't name any or very few. And I bet if you find them they were only inducted because they didn't want to appear sexist. I'm all for girls don't get me wrong and their vocals are fine in other genres like whatever type Lady Gaga sings. But they DONT belong in Metal

I'm obviously more hardcore than someone who likes female vocals that destroy the delicious evil of metal. What was that crud you posted earlier? That band was pseudo-opera ickyness.

The only bands I have listened to with a female vocalist were Animal Alpha who have recently disbanded and Voltera, both made some pretty good music though...
