Bands with Girl Singers?

[Goldendexter]

Is there any girl bands that I should know about? The whole band does not have to be girls. I'm just wondering if I know about all the good ones, or not. Some of my favorites are Within Temptation, After Forever, Nightwish, Darkwell, Theatre of Tragedy, Lacuna Coil, My Rain and a few others, but if you guys have any good recommendations please tell. I think I know about all the good ones, but there are always new ones to learn about.

In my opinion, since I don't like female vocals in metal, the only way a band can get away with having a female singer is if you can't tell she is a female. I can think of only two bands who satisfy this criteria: Sinister, and the greatest female-fronted (and one of the most bizarre) band of all time: NUCLEAR DEATH!!!

Tristania is a good band

Otep is better than I expected- when they arent trying the whole rap metal thing- even then its better than their contemporaries.

L7 (not metal tho)

dont think chick singers work with metal

 

[CONCLAVE OBSCURUM]

humm... you have to liste to this ones.

Rain fellwithin (kind of progresive metal)
Aghora (kind of metal jazz.. very good band)
Tristania
Cadaveria

There are some others but i can't remember rightnow...

Female voices give metal an amazing contrast... the soft and melodic voices with hard-metal its just amazing for me. Of course, the standard agresive male voices will be the best for ever.
Not forget voices like: Angela Gossow and the girl in Sinister

Check out Sacralis, a German death metal band. They are all female actually, not just the singer. The vocals range from deep growling typical of death metal to those similar to black metal. It's a shame this band broke up though.

I second this recommendation. Very amazing band and it is a shame they seem to have called it quits.
