Well if your like me, you prefer a Woman's voice over a Man's anyday. I dont really know any other Gothic Rock/Metal Bands that are Fronted by Girls. I Just know Evanescence and Lacuna Coil. What are some others???????

Within Temptation and Nightwish.

INKUBUS SUKKUBUS

Eva isn't gothic rock, they don't sound like The Cure, Bauhaus or Sisters of Mercy to me. :\

Anyway:
Tapping the Vein
Lullacry
Darkwell
Draconian
My Ruin
Siouxsie and the Banshees (later albums of theirs leaned towards more of a gothic rock sound)
The Gathering
Flowing Tears

Slunt (http://www.slunt.net/)

Edenbridge

You're Pretty

The Shroud,

This is sort of unrealated, but do you also post at the FFI forums?

I do in fact Primal. Eehehe. Small world, isn't it?

Who are you there?

Heh. I don’t really post there that much, but I read a lot of the threads.

My name there is Kinslay3r.

Haha, yeah, I know you. You asked about Danny Elfman in my thread.. I should go tell you then. XD

I just remember your name, and thought about Nightwish.

A couple more is...

Guano Apes
Garbage (If you want to count them)

All the other ones I can think of are already said on this Post, if I think of more I will add them...

Well... I listen to these 3 bands:
Jack off Jill
Scarling
The Dresden Dolls

You might want to check out their websites...

Some of the Best in Goth Metal:

delivered with depth, mysticism and emotion.

castles and romances

EPICA: symphonic melodic metal with female and male vocals very
intriguing and artistic musical concepts.

http://www.dev-hell.com/projects/epica_2003/images/gallery/promoshoot/epica_02.jpg

Otep is another one...

Epica is pretty cool. Rasputina is great too. Here's their site:

www.rasputina.com

i've heard of one ..kittie....personally i don't like them..but heh..some people do..

I like the sound of Tranquil (which there is a thread for in this forum), Lullacry and Passerby (although its not a metal band).

They've already broken up... but another band would be Aleixa. They released two albums between 92-98.

Aleixa is more dance/industrial. but very metal thanks to Kevin 131 guitars. They actually had two Female Singers.


The Benjamin Gate is another one. Though I wouldn't put them under Metal they are deffinantly rock. Its hard to describe them cause they don't really sound like anyone. On their first album their use of electronics kinda remminded me of the European Dance scene (which would make sense considering they are from South Africa, and of british decent).

Sincerely,
The Master

A couple more is...

Guano Apes
Garbage (If you want to count them)

All the other ones I can think of are already said on this Post, if I think of more I will add them...

wow ok NO you obviously dont know what gothic rock is. Guano Apes are NOT GOTHIC ROCK. Nothing about them is Goth/Gothic. And Garbage...no...just no. Please dont speak about bands unless you know anything about them.

I think that idea was thrown out the window awhile ago in this thread.

I forgot about Aesma Daeva, classical gothic metal.

sorry yeah I figured I just hadnt seen this thread till today.

I'll post some more bands that wasn't mencioned yet:

After Forever
Lacrimosa (new stuff)

I was only making a list of Bands that have Female Singers, I know they are not Goth but they are a rock band with a Female front woman, there was quite rude for you to jump all over my ass about it.

You need to settle. She was naming bands with female singers... if you know EvBoard then you should know we go off topic very easily, you do not have to stick to the one topic given. There was no need to jump on Cristina's case.

w00t! Great band... Oh and Tranquil (tranquilband.com) is another band, though I would not call them gothic they do have a female singer.

The Crest, their website is shut down, but I made a thread about them, its somewhere here. just do a search.

i've heard of one ..kittie....personally i don't like them..but heh..some people do..

Uff! I had heard that they were good, so I borrow one of their cds...Spit was it, and omg the worst music EVER! Seriously, they sucked! Can't see why some like them...well different taste...

But Nightwish ROX!!!.........yup just wanted to say that...

Has anyone already posted ARCH ENEMY?

They're not goth, but they're certainly METAL!!!

Angela is the only female growl singer I know. She actually sounds like a man!

I dont really think hey fit into metal. They could fit into Gothic metal/dark metal. But yeah she sounds like a dude. Kinda cool..Kinda.

Arch Enemy is death metal, there's no way around the fact they are metal.


The Birthday Massacre (more EBM then metal)
L'ame Immortelle
Switchblade Symphony
The Missing (metal and punk)
Sleeping Dogs Wake (industrial, gothic rock)

The Birthday massacre isnt goth metal. again thats like saying Garbage and Guano Apes are.

She didn't say they were. You seem to like making people feel bad in this thread. Maybe you should read their posts before you jump on their comments.

The Birthday Massacre (more EBM then metal)

you obviously dont know what the Garbage Guano Apes thing is about. So dont Start.

Oh yeah ok then tell me why he/she said them then? since they dont even fit in this thread.

Yes, I do, I can read. All Cristina was saying were some female fronted bands... she was going off topic as she said in a later post... Just as some people before her went off topic, why didn't you jump on them? There was NO reason to jump on her. You aren't new here, you should know how often we go off topic. Plus when she named Garbage she said "If you want to count them". She never said they were goth rock.

why should they be mentioned if they have no business in this thread? I dont understand that.

WHY DON'T YOU READ WHAT I WROTE? I already answered your question, and I discussed this before when you attacked her the first time.

I didnt attack anyone. I didnt say HEY YOU CANT FUCKING SAY THAT CAUSE ITS JUST SO FUCKING WRONG DONT EVER DO IT AGAIN.

ok? so when I attack you or anyone you'll know, So why dont you go off and harass someone else kplzthx

Woah, not trying to harass you, you were harassing her. I was just defending someone who did nothing worng. I really don't want any hard feelings, but if you have anything to say to me I suggest pm's so that we don't post whore this entire thread. < 3

Might I ask ONE simple question here??? this a thread for "female fronted" bands, and I'll be damned if ANYONE in this band looks like a female?? Does this band even have a female singer??

While not female fronted, the band Darkseed (http://www.darkseed.com) does incorporate a second singer of the female persuasion on some of their tracks. I posted a thread about them eons ago raving about how good they are, but no one ever listens to me :rolleyes:


Their latest album "Astral Adventures" is quite good.

actually yes kamelot has female vocals on a fair amount of the songs.
the band has no permanent female vocalists just session vocalists.
good to see your paying attention.

Other then the three that many people would know of Evanescence, Lacuna Coil, and Nightwish.

I also think that other bands named already Flowing Tears, After Forever, Lullcry, Within Temptation, Epica, Edenbridge, are very good bands.

I like female fronted metal/rock bands. There are a few metal bands with guy that I like Just to name one Entwine.

But to me the Female adds something to the music that the guy can't.

The Birthday massacre isnt goth metal. again thats like saying Garbage and Guano Apes are.


I knew exactly what I was doing when I listed those bands, I did not say they were metal, but also notice, she said asked for gothic rock as well, and those non-gothic metal bands I listed do have some gothic roots. Also, since so many other people went off-topic, I decided to throw in some non-gothic metal bands (they are still female fronted though), but then I pointed out if they weren't metal, in case somebody didn't want to listen to them because of that.

No need to jump down my throat on it, I didn't do that out of ignorance.

and yeah you dont seem to pay very much attention do you? two days ago ImaginaryDemise and I were tlaking about this. So just go read that and chill the hell out.

Well, you know, I'm not constantly checking every second of my waking life for updates on these boards, and on top of that, that arguement was about my post, and I should have some say in it. Sorry for trying to explain myself. And if I was using a ton of profanity in my post, I could see the need to chill out, jeezes, I'm not even pissed off about it.

Gothic Rock bands (find these on mp3.com):
Persephone's Veil
Black Tape for a Blue Girl (You have to be careful, some of the songs are female fronted, others not)
Gothica

*hits the kids* Stop fighting! ;) :D

Thank you for sticking up for me, that is sweet... The reason why this girl is swinging off my tits is because I am new here and she saw the chance to bite at me, all I was doing is listing some Bands that have a Female Singer, I tie Metal with Hard Rock and yes Guano Apes is Hard Rock to me and Garbage is a female fronted Band that makes Rock-N-Roll Music, so I went off topic? It happens all the time...

hmmm.....I didn't see these bands posted yet:

The Snake River Conspiracy
L7
Poe
Seven Year Bitch

Poe is a woman not a band. She isnt goth either. or metal, I think you should just rename this thread female front bands...

Band/artist same diff in my book. I agree she's not goth or metal but she is dark. None of the bands I listed would really fit into any genre but I think that there is a strong possibility that anyone who likes metal or goth music would like the bands I have listed.

Hmm, by looking at these lists, I'm going to have to check out some of these artists. My favorites are Nightwish and Within Temptation. Lacuna Coil and The Gathering are pretty sweet too.

Eh, I have another band you guys might want to check out.

Unfinished Thought

Female fronted, with a darker gothic feel to them. And, they just finished their first video. I've seen some pictures and it looks pretty sweet. They're going to have it on their site for download at the begining of the new year. Until then, you can listen to their songs that are up on their site for FREE download.

I just read this thread all the way through, and have come to the conclusion that you clearly don't understand how topics go off-topic.

It happens. You'll live. Get over it.

I don't mean to sound harsh, but then again it's not often that reading posts actually makes me wince with frustration.

*waits for more names to appear*

You know who I really dig?

THE DRESDEN DOLLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Sorry.

the distillers... i believe

dont yell at me if im wrong

Arch Enemy does rock. I would consider them to be more Death Metal though. I downloaded Anthems of Rebellion and that album rocks hard core style.

My band - i will post our website once our site finishes being built, we are called Translucent Reality ...dammit i wish we had our site URL right now... I swear i will post it ...ass soon as its finished

omg i jus listened 2 EDENBRIDGE and they fuckin ROCK~!!!
I want their CD 4 christmas LoL.

My Ruin

Almost like a harder Jack Off Jill.

omg i jus listened 2 EDENBRIDGE and they fuckin ROCK~!!!
I want their CD 4 christmas LoL.

Edenbridge, eh? :) If you like their lead singer, visit this post on the Nightwish thread www.evboard.com/viewtopic.php?p=299655&highlight=#299655 (http://www.evboard.com/viewtopic.php?p=299655&highlight=#299655) The lead singer of Edenbridge, Sabine Edelsbacher, lent her vocals to an album project by Beto Vasquez in 2001. You can read more about it, or Nightwish's lead femme Tarja Turunen, via a link I posted along that thread if you wanna!

Warning: Going slightly off topic! No one bite my head off!!

Pale Forest is another female headed band. There is a thread on them, so I will let you guys find the link. They may not be metal, but their music is darker. Their lead singer adds a childish sound for an interesting effect. I liked them. Check 'em out!

EDIT: Thanks to all who posted on this board. I've been sampling several tracks from many of these bands and I am lovin what I hear. Thanks again!

Does Flowing Tears have a song called One of Us? Damn it... tell me! Please?

Does Flowing Tears have a song called One of Us? Damn it... tell me! Please?

Thanks! I need the lyrics for it and I couldn't find it. Maybe I'll find them under Abba... :D

They passed me by, all of those great romances
You were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chances
My picture clear, everything seemed so easy
And so I dealt you the blow
One of us had to go
Now it's different, I want you to know

One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all

I saw myself as a concealed attraction
I felt you kept me away from the heat and the action
Just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving
That's how I started the show
One of us had to go
Now I've changed and I want you to know
One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all
Never left at all

Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call

[fade]


Thats the Abba lyrics, I don't think Flowing Tears changed any of the lyrics in the song.

I've seen some Arch Enemy posts. While I am not a fan, if you like their intensity, check out these bands:

Trinity
Walls of Jerhico

my band (still havent decided on a name) used to be fronted by me (im a gurl) and now im really confused and i think i just go as the Ben Moody of the band, and have my friend (who is a girl) be the frontman. frontmen are usually the singers and i always do backup vocals. :D (but it takes to skill to scream)

I don't know if someone already said this but Otep rocks!!! 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

Although Otep is the name of the singer not the band but a solo gothic/metal chic is rare

AMARAN (http://www.amaran.net)

The samples from the new album aren't exactly a THX experience, but if you're into melodic metal (and who isn't?) you'll do yourself a favor. Check them out.

ill count some..

guano apes

--------------

sooooo....... these arent all gothic, whatsoever, just all kinda bands with femal vocalists.. mostly rock / metal / gothic / crossover...

Chalice

ok i know they are not female fronted, but H.I.M is really great too!!!

Tadpole, a band from New Zealand they are really awesome!

Kidney Thieves rule. :)

Anyway, as Nightwish and Tristania were mentioned earlier... Well, if you like these, you have to check out Sirenia (www.sirenia.no). 'Twas formed by the former vocalist, guitar player, main songwriter and text composer of Tristania, and their music is sort of goth metal and classical-y. French female vocalist on most, if not all their songs, if I remember correctly... Backed by male voices of different kind, as well as a choir at times. Nice music... <=

Edenbridge

You're Pretty

Oh yes I love edenbridge... and Tristania, Orphanage and L'âme immortelle...^^ Don't forget Trail Of Tears...

FETISCH is a band you'll like a lot.. well, I do.

Theyre songs sound similiar to Bring Me To Life... with both a girl and guy singer (hot too!).. except most of their songs are like that (two singers). But some are more female and some are more male. They switch back and forth.

I've been waiting on their album foreeeeeeeeeeeeeeever!
Its supposed to out soon though!

They have a new website that kixxx a$$ .. so I'm thinking the album should b out soon 2. check 'em they are what my banner is from too...

Oh then. Lets not forget about No Doubt. And how about The Cardigans, or Blondie. And then there's The Cranberries.

If you want to list off pop rock girl fronted bands then start a fucking thread for it. My gawd, there's only like millions of girl fronted bands. Listing off random bands simply because they have a female singer in a thread specifically about one type of music is just retarded and what I consider nothing more than trying to give yourself a higher post count. This thread has a purpose and you obviously missed the point of it. oh well "threads go off topic all the time!" Well, it's because of fucktards like you who do nothing but make a good thread go to shit.

And yes, I'm in a pissy mood. I don't apoligize for anything I've said and I honestly don't give a shit about how you react to what I said. Don't bother posting in a thread if you have nothing to say on the fucking TOPIC.

And yes. Within Temptation, Nightwish, After Forever, occasional duets for Luca Turilli (guitarist for Rhapsody's band), and Theatre of Tragedy all fucking rock. Also am trying to dl a song by Solemnus which is listed on winmx as being comparable to WT, AF, and NW.

Edit: and damnit, reading threads backwards is weird as hell. This is a reply to somewhat old stuff that just sparked something in me that hates the attitude this board has developed.

Pale Forest
Granhammer
My Ruin (though her voice is more grachy..)
Brikjen
Derived
Nightwish

The singer of Guano Apes

go check that band out... she sings really cool and agressive

The Distillers are awesome!

Well if your like me, you prefer a Woman's voice over a Man's anyday. I dont really know any other Gothic Rock/Metal Bands that are Fronted by Girls. I Just know Evanescence and Lacuna Coil. What are some others?
Actually, it seems to me that Christina S. doesn't really front the band...it seems like there is no front, it's just them. I think that's the best way to do it.

The Distillers are awesome!
I'm really not meaning to sound bitchy here, but while The Distillers = Kickass, The Distillers != Gothic Rock/Metal band. They're punk, if anything bordering on hardcore, particularly their older material. Not trying to offend, just trying to qualify your statement for people that might not know who they are.

Edenbridge

You're Pretty

Someone else who has actually heard of You're Pretty! Rock on! Too bad they broke up... :(

Someone else who has actually heard of You're Pretty! Rock on! Too bad they broke up... :(
Fuck yes! You're Pretty! Actually, Jack told me about them.... thanks! I wish they were still together. :(

Dark Moor = awesome as hell female fronted power metal

..however, the girl who's name I cannot remember quit along with several other members of the band and now the group has reformed with a male singer, who I don't really like.

If you're going to check them out then I recommend "Silver Lake"

Has anyone already posted ARCH ENEMY?

They're not goth, but they're certainly METAL!!!

Angela is the only female growl singer I know. She actually sounds like a man!

Otep sounds pretty manly too.

after forever
theater of tragedy
tristania
sirenia
nightwish
within temptation
epica

Maybe I'm not original, but I like Nightwish and Within Temptation. Also Stratovarius.

Jamie fronts a piano trio that has a very heavy undercurrent that goes from Perfect Circle style to My Immortal type ballads. Check it out http://www.jamierattner.com

Otep and Kitti (i think its kitti) they both have female leads.. n they're great :D

Tadpole, a band from New Zealand they are really awesome!

tadpole aren't that gothic.. but renee does have talent also fur patrol. they're not really that dark either but go the kiwi bands :D

Not really gothic but listen to this: Crucifixion (http://www.alex-bach.com/web/audio/01.Crucifixion.mp3)

http://pic9.picturetrail.com/VOL272/2001187/3871867/47715689.jpg

My personal favorite in female fronted Gothic metal is Avrigus. An amazing band from Australia IMO. They do have a website www.avrigus.com (http://www.avrigus.com) Unfortunately it looks like it hasn't been updated in a very long time and the soundclips are down. Both The Final Wish EP and The Secret Kingdom CD are well worth hearing I think if you appreciate that genre.

As far as more traditional Gothic Rock is the true sense, I really like Requiem in White and the first Mors Syphilitica albums.

heh, I know this is a very old thread, but I decided to post in it anyway

on the 7th of november there is the "metal female voices fest 2" in the Ancienne belgique in brussels (belgium)

this is the poster: http://www.metalorganisation.be/affMFVF2.htm
the bands on it should all be girl fronted metal bands...

Distillers are damn good, and there girl fronted, Brody Dalle is hot!! :D

hehe well i dont sing, but i play a mean guitar! www.thirteenx.com is our site! lol nothing like shamless self promotion! :D

Eeetts alive..ahahaha...


well anyway...are there any good chicago girl bands? they don't have to be "gothic" rock or anything. just heavy stuff, metal or something. i dunno. one of the only girl bands i listen to is kittie.


hey...i kinda like that Safe From Me song.. :)

IMO, the best female-fronted bands are: Lacuna Coil, Within Temptation, Evanescence, The Gathering, Theatre Of Tragedy (Before Liv left), Leaves' Eyes, Inkubus Sukkubus, Nightwish, Epheriam, and Lacrimosa (not really female-fronted, but most vocals are female).

If you are interested in i.e. girl fronted Goth Metal bands, you can find their profiles, extra info and official sites HERE (http://www.gothmetal.net)

Eeetts alive..ahahaha...

hey...i kinda like that Safe From Me song.. :)


thanks! thats one of my favs too! I like Mantra, and Nothing Left to Lose!

thanks! thats one of my favs too! I like Mantra, and Nothing Left to Lose!

ThirteenX Kick Ass! ;)

I thing Sirenia is a Goth metal and the vocal is a girl ( have a boy too +- like lacuna coil )

0.o, I was gonna say Nightwish, Lullacry and Within Temtation and the Gathering, but people already said them!

The only other two I can think of are:
Collide
Kittie (Though they aren't Goth-ish)

Wow, thank you EVERYONE for suggestions on girl fronted metal bands. I have been looking for some. Evanescence really got me going. THANKS AGAIN!

Well, someone already mentioned them, but COLLIDE. They're awesome. They're not metal, more techno-y, but they're definately gothic!

Since this thread is so prone to being reincarnated (in its original form... Hmm, how strange...):

Shamelessly promoting Amber Asylum. It's more orchestra rock than anything, so fairly off topic, buuut.... *meep* couldn't help myself!! Some of my favorite female-fronted bands, even though they've already been mentioned, are Lacuna Coil, Nightwish, The Gathering, After Forever, Bjork (okay so she's a person...), Tristania, Sirenia, Theatre of Tragedy, and Siouxie and the Banshees. And Evanescence, of course ;) . I suspect that list is about to grow, with all the bands listed in this thread...

EDIT: Hehehe, already found another to add. Check out Visions of Atlantis (http://www.visionsofatlantis.com), they remind me a fair bit of Nightwish. Maybe a little lighter, but the singer's voice reminds me of Tarja off the first two albums.

I don't have any contributions (because everyone has already said my favourite bands), but I just had to say that this is my new favourite thread. ^^ I'm always in search of new music to listen to... I'll be checking out a lot of these bands in the next while!

Not to be any kind of besserwisser, but there is really a BIG difference between Goth and Gothic Metal. For you who does not know...

After reading the thread I don't have much to add but two bands;

3rd And The Mortal
Autumn

3rd And The Mortal are not typical gothic metal though, some place it into doom.

Aesma Daeva
Nightwish
Random Eyes
The Benjamin Gate
Lacuna Coil
Fetish

I’m sure that most of these have been said, but here are some bands in my music collection (* next to those I like the most):

Lacuna Coil*
Evanescence*
Nightwish*
The Gathering
Within Temptation
After Forever*
Delight*
Flowing Tears
Evelyn Grace*
This Accession
Theatre of Tragedy
Amaran
Epica
Lunatica
Mephista Walz
The Shroud

A great place to find such bands is http://www.soniccathedral.com – this is a website / online store practically devoted to female-fronted (mainly gothic) metal/rock.
There is also www.gothmetal.net – they include profiles and pictures on many such bands.

Hope this helps,
Jackson Allan

Elis. A band from lichenstein, i think.

http://www.elis.li

See 'Der Letste Tag'. If you like Nightwish- try them.

Nemo, Elis is freaking awesome \m/.

Thanks for telling me about them.

2 other great female fronted rock bands are:
Jack Off Jill (although they broke up)
Scarling(Where Jessicka, the lead singer of Jack Off Jill is currently singing).

EDIT: Sabine (the lead singer of Elis) Has Nightwish listed as one of her fav. bands. That's awesome.

I'm such a dork. I love it when bands I like list some of my favorite bands as their favorites :)

They have alot of female fronted goth/rock/metal bands here http://www.soniccathedral.com/index.html

The gathering is NOT a gothic and metalband :mad: They don't play metal for years now...and it's never been a gothicband either...... :rolleyes:

Their music is since 1998 kinda trippy mixed with a bit of rock....triprock :D

check my The gathering site:

Sleepy Buildings (http://www.sleepybuildings.tk)

or

The Gathering (http://www.gathering.nl)

"gothic" bands are for me:

Within Temptation
After Forever
Epica
Leave's eyes
Nemesea
Bloodflowerz
Asrai
Autumn
Lacrimosa
Morning
Sengir
Paradise lost
The cure
Cirra Niva
Dead angels Kingdom
Das Ich
Moonspell
Sisters of Mercy
Suicide Commando
The wounded
Bauhaus
Wolfsheim
Wumpscut

I've been listening to a lot of metal lately, mostly classic metal bands like Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Pantera. However, I like a lot of other music that isn't metal (such as Evanescence) but up until recently I hadn't really explored any of these bands. I've started listening to Lacuna Coil and I like them a lot, having bought all of there albums including the self-titled EP. I ordered The Gathering's Mandylion and Nightwish's Oceanborn from Amazon the other day and I look forward to hearing them. The Gathering seem slower and more mello than LC and Nightwish from the samples I listened to, although it was hard to get a good idea of the bands from the samples. The operatic vocals of Tarja from Nightwish took some getting used to, but I like the band's sound from what I heard.

One reason why I didn't explore these bands sooner is the arrogance and elitism that many of there fans display. A lot of them hate Evanescence because they are in the mainstream and assume that makes them untalented. This has always been true in the metal community to some extent, but it doesn't encourage me to listen to these bands when some of their fans (not the people on this board) are so closed-minded. However, not all of their fans are that way (as shown by most of the people in this thread) and it's their loss if they choose to live that way. Mainstream music may not be great right now, but that doesn't mean there aren't talented bands in the mainstream (Evanescence, Tool, A Perfect Circle, System of a Down) and this is something that some metalheads overlook.

The Cure is no where near Goth!?! They were part of the 80's new wave, thing. Please get it right.

not sure if the band "Tristania" has been mentioned in this thread yet, but they are a Metal band from Norway with three lead singers... One of them is a woman by the name of Vibeke Stene and she has a beautiful operatic voice... the other singers are both guys and one growls/grunts whatever, and the other sings... They are metal but have great orchestral influences as well... i've been listening to them a lot lately... Very good stuff...

The Cure is no where near Goth!?! They were part of the 80's new wave, thing. Please get it right.
I totally agree with you. They're more new wave/electronica than goth.

bringing thread back :D

any new band??? :p

Not sure if this has been mentioned, what about Siouxsie & the Banshees? Brilliant band, love their music.

Lou

She isn't necessary with a band, but Aimee Allen has joined up with Scott Russo from Unwritten Law to record an album. She did the theme song to the cancelled show "Birds of Prey" but was dropped from her label due to issues and the song can't be released anymore. Now she's independent. Check out a couple of her new songs at:

http://www.scottandaimee.com/

What about Rain Fell Within!!!!

Awesome female fronted symphonic metal-ish band. !

i still think it's a shame skunk anansie broke up
cause they were really good IMO

Ok.. So this is an old thread but a cool one and I think it may be very helpful to anyone that likes this kind of music - Female Fronted Metal (and not so metal) Bands (and I know that we aren't just a few! :D). But it's so tiring to go and look all the thread to look if there are any new bands, so I'll put all the ones I find in evboard here. (I know I'll miss some of them, is late, I'm tired and.. I will. :p). I've known a lot of cool bands thanks to EvBoard and if I had seen this thread before I'd have known them faster! lol.

Well, here we go:

Nightwish (http://www.evboard.com/showthread.php?t=498)
One of the most famous bands.. I think they don't need any presentation. :D

Within Temptation (http://www.evboard.com/showthread.php?t=786)
Dutchie band with a very personal style. Every album is really different, but special in its way.

Lacuna Coil (http://www.evboard.com/showthread.php?t=748)
Another of the big ones. Coming from Italy but getting bigger everywhere Lacuna are already a reference to a lots of new bands. And I understand it!

Leaves' Eyes (http://www.evboard.com/showthread.php?t=16661)
Liv Kristine's (she was in Theatre Of Tragedy) new band. They have to albums (Loverlorn and Vinland Saga) and a lot of future. :p

Epica (http://www.evboard.com/showthread.php?t=1982)
Founded by Mark Jansen after he left After Forever, they ahve two albums out (The Phantom Agony and Consign To Oblivion). Both great albums. This is a 'must-hear' band. :p

After Forever (http://www.evboard.com/showthread.php?t=2165)
Great great band. They have been around for a while now, and there are plenty of albums and songs to listen. Floor's voice is awesome. :D

Rain Fell Within (http://www.evboard.com/showthread.php?t=24473)
Recent discovering by Frozen, we are still investigating them, lol. But they sound pretty good as said up there!

Autumn (http://www.evboard.com/showthread.php?t=24540)
They have been opening for Within Temptation and there are no complaints about it!

Tristania (http://www.evboard.com/showthread.php?t=1498)
I'm just getting into them but already know I'll love them. :p

Sirenia (http://www.evboard.com/showthread.php?t=24569)
I don't know a lot about this band.. but have heard lots of good critics.

Of Infinity (http://www.evboard.com/showthread.php?t=24678)
I just heard some of the music that's up in their site and they sound kinda Lacuna Coil-ish. Good good! *note: I have to write my thoughts in that thread*

Asrai (http://www.evboard.com/showthread.php?t=24537)
Another band, with a weird line-up, 3 girls and two boys, lol.

Eternya (http://www.evboard.com/showthread.php?t=24538)
Ok.. I know they haven't anything to do with the other bands. This two female fronted band is from Barcelona, they are beginning, but they sound really good. Also they are very nice and improve very much live. I hope they'll make bigger in the near future.

Garbage (http://www.evboard.com/showthread.php?t=23017)
Yeah, not metal, but in the title there's the rock thing so.. :p I really like this band.

Flyleaf (http://www.evboard.com/showthread.php?t=801)
I doubt there is someone in this board that doesn't know them. If there is.. go check them out! They rock.

Anf of course there are more bands like Lullacry, Lacrimosa or Edenbridge (which I didn't have time to check! lol) but either they haven't thread yet, it was deleted with the crash or it's hided and I'm too lazy to search right now. :o *goes to bed*

See you in almost all of these threads! haha

Interlock


Female and Male vocals but they are really good and their latest album Crisis//Reinvention is excellent. Very varied one minutes they remind me of Arch Enemy the next Lacuna Coil. For the more Lacuna Coilesque songs go for This Waking Moment and Never//Lost

WOOT thanks thats awesome! This is like a list of EXACTLY what music I listen to lol :cool: , well except for Garbage but thats all.

Hmmm... Havn't heard of Of Infinity or Asrai, but I will certainly check them out. And damn the Edenbridge thread got deleted. Love that band.

*attemps to rep but doesn't work* Anyone know why? :(

as i've said in my rep, amazing work u've done Jess ^^ even at 2am u can't stop making us happy with your posts :p

i'll have to check some of those that i still don't know well, & try to find some more good ones to compete with you :D

If you're looking for underground Goth Metal, I highly suggest Gothmetal.net (www.gothmetal.net). That's always the first place I check if I want a new band to listen to.

I had to add one more since I am member of teh female fronted metal bands team!So here you go...
In Heaven----->Atmospheric Gothic Metal band!

Some good female fronted bands/bands with female and male vocalists I recently discovered:
Battlelore- http://www.battlelore.net/
Random Eyes- http://www.randomeyes.net/
Razorblade Kisses- http://www.razorbladekisses.com/
Autumn- http://www.autumn.nu/
Where Angels Fall- http://www.whereangelsfall.com/

And also, at this link you will see lists of bands with female singers from around the world.

http://ns31.hosteur.com/~ladiesof/listbands.htm

Ok just a few things if you want Metal bands with a lead female singer
Nightwish Symphonic/Power/Opera Metal
Edenbridge Symphonic/Power Metal
Magic Power Metal
Sinergy Power Metal
Ram-Zet Insane Psycho Metal

There is not one thing Gothic about either of those bands. Just becasue they have a lead Female singer does not make them Gothic. Goth Metal is getting way to many band put into it when half of them are not Goth at all. And four of them are listed as Power Metal.

After Forever and Epica well yes you can throw them in there. Tristania step away from being a Goth Metal band after Morten Veland left.

So really if you want Good Femaly Fronted Metal bands then pick up

Nightwish
Sinergy
Magica
Edenbridge
After Forever
Epica
Flowing Tears
Ram-Zet


Those are the best ones.

You all forgot Hungry Lucy. It's not really rock, but I am not sure what else to call it??? EMO???very low key and relaxed music. I also like Lorenna McKennit, but I believe we are talking about female fronted Rock bands.

I listen to Ev (duh), Nighwish, Swithblade Sumphony, Lacuna Coil, The Gathering, Tapping the Vein, Snake River Conspiracy (i don't like them, but I have their album)....I know I have some more but cannot think of them now.

thanks so much, i really enjoy the last link you put up, theres so many. the only problem now is theres a group i'm trying to find songs from and i'm not having much luck:( does anyone know anything about the group Delight?

Delight is a female fronted metal ban from Poland!!
They are very good especially their latest release ANew!!

I didn't know where to post this, and didn't want to go around all the threads that concerns this.. so I bring back to life this thread! :p

Looking around I came across a book called Power and Majesty (http://www.xs4all.nl/~cursed/powerandmajesty.htm). There's not a lot of info about it, I just found this:
It's a book about the females in metal, with color photos. Some of the women that contributed in it are: Sharon den Adel, Liv Kristine, Cristina Scabbia, Nienke de Jong, Anneke, Simone and more.
68 pages, divided into 4 chapters, where the singers tell us about their beginnings, their love for metal and music in general, and share their opinions about singing, songwriting and image.
It costs 9€ (shipping costs included) and can be ordered here (http://www.metal-maiden.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=7064&osCsid=2253e4899e2aafea10f8a128369e89a7).

I'll probably get it.. I think it's pretty cheap, and I'm very interested in what those women say! :D

*faints*
If you order it bring it in Belgium with you ;)

oooooooooooooh MUST.GET.BOOK *drools*

Ok, i started a thread for this band, but it died a quick and unceremonious death, so ill put this here. Maybe it'll get more of a reception.

The band is "Stream of Passion". Not what it sounds like! Nothing to do with porn! A new band that has been put together by virtuoso guitarist/songwriter/musician Arjen Anthony Lucassen... The man behind such projects like Ayreon, Ambeon and Star One. This new band features the wonderful vocals of Marcela Bovio. Her clear and hauntingly beautiful voice leads a group of very capable musicians. If you're at all interested i would definitely urge you to check out their new website. www.StreamofPassion.com It features the full downloadable track 'Deceiver' from their upcoming album called "Embrace the Storm" which is due out on October 24th, 2005. The site also has several samples of various tracks off the new album, plus a full video trailer.

Give it a chance! You won't regret it!

ooo i love Deceiver. and the samples sound very good. I know what CD i'm getting for my birthday :D

And i like the spanish in Nostalgia :D

ooh, I checked them out some time ago because someone opened a thread about them on the WT forum. I like what I heard so far! I love Marcela's voice and I think Arjen is an amazing artist!!
I'll get this album probably.. :D

Ahhh brilliant! Glad to see someone has checked SoP out! Yeah i really like 'Deceiver' too. What are the Spanish parts in 'Nostaglia'? I can't wait for the album to come out. I'll be getting it as soon as I can. Not sure how yet though.

As for Marcela, yeah wow, she has an AMAZING voice. Jumps out at me like no other since Amy Lee and Anneke Van G. Arjen, also bloody brilliant! I really enjoy his work. :D

nightwish is my favorite deff they are really good and tarja is really pretty. you cant be being a good singer and being pretty.

I love Season's End

Angtoria (Sarah Jezebel Deva's (Cradle of Filth, Therion) band)
On Thorns I Lay (I haven't heard this band yet)

Within Temptation
Evanescence

After Forever!!
Since you like the symphonic and atmospheric music of Nightwish and Within Temptation then you'll certainly love After Forever!
Their music goes from gothic metal,to death metal and then to really heavy metal!The singer is soprano and her capabilities are unlimited!!Whichever album you find worths its money!
Just to know they have out,Prison of Desire,Decipher,Invisible Circles,Remagine and an EP Exordium!
Hope I helped!

Leaves' Eyes. Liv's voice is amazing. I'd recomend the album Lovelorn. Vinland Saga is good as well, but I prefer Lovelorn.

I'm not sure if this has been posted before. But i found this site which has an A to Z of goth/metal bands. Its quite an extensive list and there are lots of female fronted ones, or ones that have female members, however it would be silly for me to list them all as it would take me forever to do !

So here is the site for all of you !

considering you've just listed my four fave bands.. i would say you have same kinda taste in music as me! I'd recommed ---> Season's End, After Forever, Leaves' Eyes, Octavia Sperati..

Also I forgot to mention Epica, Autumn,Tristania and Sirenia!
You may also find Elis interesting!And this band In Heaven (http://www.inheavenmusic.com) has many similarities with Ev and Lacuna Coil!
Gosh,there are so many great bands out there!:p

Oh, that's so flattering :o. Thank you Frozen :D.

I'm not sure if this band has been mentioned before (I went through the last 4 pages and didn't come across it) but there's this all female doom-y metal band from Norway called Octavia Sperati. I think they're pretty good. They've gotten really good reviews and not-so good reviews... I think the lead singer sounds like a cross between Cristina (LC) and Anneke (tG).

Official Site (http://www.octavia-sperati.com)
Click here (http://music.yahoo.com/ar-20258191-videos--Octavia-Sperati) to go see their video for "Hunting Eye", probably my favourite song on their album. Other notables: Without Air (After) & Wasted on the Living. :)

I just heard of them in the WT forum. Dakrya. They are a little Greek band (I'm surprised F didn't know them, lol). In their website you can download a song, it sounds pretty good! Beautiful girl voice + some grunts, what we all know very well. :p

I'd like to hear more!!:D

lol, from the site, it looks promising. ;)
I'm not at home yet, but when I get home, I'm d/l the song. :D
On top of my renewed love for Tristania, I'm still on my insatiable thirst for new music. XD

If you guys like industrial-y rock-ish stuff, check out Collide (http://www.collide.net). I've already gotten my friend addicted to them! :) They're pretty good. =)

yeah.. i like that Dakrya band.. that one track is rocking!!
Ill check out that Collide band too.. I have a thirst for something new too..

everyone.. SEASON'S END (http://www.seasons-end.com) if you haven't checked em out all ready!!!

PM for more :D

and don't forget Xandria (http://www.xandria.de), a female fronted gothic rock band from Germany.
Their newest album, India, is really brilliant.
They have some samples on their website (http://www.xandria.de/english/media/multimedia.html)

I love Collide! They have some of their stuff on LaunchCast (http://music.yahoo.com/musicvideos/default.asp) which is where I heard about them :D

These have already been listed earlier in the thread but My Ruin, Inkubus Sukkubus, Jack Off Jill, and Bif Naked (http://www.herroyalmajestysrecords.com/bif/) are all really good...Plus more but everyone has heard of them like Nightwish and Lacuna Coil.

They are really good.. very lovely voice! :p :cool:

Aesma Daeva are from the US and they're really good. Someone at another board said they were "avant-garde" and I think that's a fairly good description of them. They're music is really different.... but still has that classical music, female vocals and whatnot.

Haha actually, my friend sent me a link to their page. She thought I'd like them because of their influences and because they have a female singer. She was right.

doom/gothic/dark/symphonic metal:
Lacuna Coil
After Forever
Epica
Nightwish
Asrai
Xandria
Forever Slave
Artrosis
Within Temptation
Chalice
The Gathering
Aesma Daeva
Visions of Atlantis
Theatre of Tragedy
Leaves´Eyes
Evanescence
Tristania
Sirenia
Elis
polyandrium
lapse of irony
elevare
operatika

There is a much better way to break that up because half those bands there are Power Metal.
symphonic metal/Power Metal
Visions of Atlantis
Nightwish
Operatika

Symphonic Metal
Epica
After Forever

After Forever really leaves the Goth Metal area after there first and 2nd CD. Epica was never really Goth to being with.

Somehow they found me and requested.. I was shocked.. they are really good, I love the latest couple of tracks they have put on.

Me too. But Voices in a Dream is still my favorite. I wish the MySpace players would stop being a bitch so I could download it and the other song (can't remember now) that's up for download.

I dunno if anyone has mentioned ashes you fall or sins of thy beloved yet. If so disregard this. Both of these are great female fronted band though :)

I've just started getting into leaves eyes! oops i think it's been said!

Kittie, Crisis, Otep

I saw a band last night called Unexpect. They were amazing. A 7 piece band... Very Nightwish-esque. Check out the hair on this girl...

I definately recommend you check them out. You definately won't be dissappointed.

Unexpect... (http://www.myspace.com/unexpect)

Formed in 1996, Lycanthia is a 6 piece Metal band based in Sydney, Australia.

Lycanthia play dark aggressive and emotional Metal in a style that would be best described as a fusion of Doom, Classical, Gothic and Rock.

I REALLY HIGHLY doubt any of you have ever heard of this one band called Silian Rail (http://www.myspace.com/silianrailband)...except for the IRC people because of my bugging them about SR. They've been in my sig for a few weeks now. They label themselves as a progressive/metal band but they're different from the other progressive bands I've listened to. They're influences vary like whoa...everything from Bjork and Tori Amos to Between The Buried And Me and Avenged Sevenfold. They're really awesome. You'll get all the info you want from their myspace. Or so I hope. If you check them out and you like them (as I'm sure you will), and there's something else you want to know that's not on their myspace, just ask me and I'll help you out. Please check them out. They really deserve a listening ear.

There are so many great female fronted bands out there. I have found loads on myspace like Adastreia and Echoes of Eternity. My personal highlight is Evilion. You can download their album for free on their webpage at http://www.evilion.net. I assure you, they rock \m/

Another one is Miscellany:

http://www.myspace.com/miscellanyband
http://www.miscellany.se

They are really good. I'll open a thread about them soon :P

Many consider them death rock/post-punk more often but they were a big part of the gothic scene, definately an honorable mention.. 45 Grave (http://www.myspace.com/45grave2005)

Does anyone like/love DORO???? (ex warlock?)

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=44232856

i havent really seen anyone mention arch enemy. their an excellent metal band with a female vocalist.

within temptation, nightwish, lullacry

www.myspace.com/adastreia :cool:

^ Man, it's so weird seeing your UN with numbers after it! I was like "WTH??" :p

Anyway, here are some new bands I've just learned about. "Gothicness" of the first one is questionable, but they are female fronted rock/metal. XD The rest are "gothic", at least their myspace says so. :p All these bands have pretty nice sounds, so check them out! =)

- Head (http://www.myspace.com/head)
- Fountain of Tears (http://www.myspace.com/fountainoftears)
- Operatika (http://www.myspace.com/operatika)

Another great female-fronted gothic rock band is Hanging Doll, from England. They combine emotional vocals with heavy, riff-driven music. One of my favorite songs is 'Last Straw Drawn.'

Whoever Said Angtoria, I second that, they Rule, easily one of the best Albums I have heard in a while...

Antonamasia (www.myspace.com/antonamasia)

They're an Aussie band who are about to release their EP. They are incredible live. Listen to their tracks on myspace, multiply that by ten and that's what they sound like live. Amazing. :D

Thanks for the link, I like Asphyxiation Theory.

After Forever, Tristania, Epica, Flyleaf, Nightwish, Within Temptation, Arch Enemy... and of couse, Evan's... but I don't consider the band as a gothic or a metal band, but anyways :D
Those bands rules. The best one ever.

but i want antonamasia's cd now!:p

but i want antonamasia's cd now!:p
How good are they? I was speaking to the keyboardist and he said the release will be sometime in the next 2-3 months. So if you like, when I get my copy I can rip it and post it on a file sharing website for you to upload. =)

Or just email it in a zip folder, that works as well, the band is very good

Yes, that would work also. Haha.

They are indeed. =D

uneXpect is great! I actually only just started listening to them a couple days ago. *Ahem*. They do a great job of satisfying my recent hunger for psycho metal.

epica!!! They are a great female-fronted band! I saw one of their music videos and love them ever since! it was two days ago hehe... Awesome!

Yeah, I don't know why they haven't got them there for download. I do however have Asphyxiation Theory and Keeping Nothing in mp3. :D

Most likely, but they might make it available to buy through their myspace. =)
