Arch Enemy´s new singer - Angela Gossow.
cause i love brutal vocies, and its even harder when shes female, cant figure out really how she does it, but i love it

 

[Malaclypse]

let me guess... distortion?

 

[Lina]

y'all know cristina gets my vote hands down.

floor from after forever sounds amazing from the few songs i've heard.

and i like stefanie from flowing tears too.

 

[MetalManCPA]

Karyn Crisis from Crisis - actually, the band is now called Skullsick

 

[astarte]

i really dislike the goth/doom type of female vocals so my favorites in metal are...

Kinthia (Astarte)
Cadaveria (Opera IX)
Karyn Crisis (Crisis)

and non-metal...

Björk
Tarja (i don't consider her metal... she listens to Celine Dion ?!? )
Beth Gibbons (Portishead)
Diamanda Galás
Skin (Skunk Anansie)
Tori Amos

 

[Melancholia]

Kari Rueslåtten (ex-3rd and the mortal)
Agnete Kirkevaag (Madder Mortem)
Synne Larsen (ITW... ,some Green Carnation etc)

 

[Achernar]

Well, if you are talking about metal, then I suppose Kari Rueslåtten would be my personal fave. Non metal faves are Tori Amos, Lisa Gerrard, Francesca Napoli from Ataraxia, Bjork, Loreena McKennitt, Diamanda Galás, Roisin Murphy from Moloko and Beth Gibbon of Portishead. Personally, I think Tarja really sound like a chicken every one in a while...

 

[Brutalizer]

Cristina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil)
Kari Rueslåtten
Alexandra Pittracher (Darkwell)

+ more...

 

[MacMoney]

You know Darkwell? I thought no one did They play good music

 

[Angelbreeze]

Floor Jansen (After Forever)
Anneke Van Giersbergen (The Gathering)
Sharon Janny(Within Temptation)
Tarja (Nightwish)...
and I can't forget to Cristina Scabbia of course. I love Cristina's voice, it's so great and so powerful; I wish I could sing like her

 

[General Zod]

Christina is beautiful. And I wonder if that is effecting the number of votes she's getting. To me her vocals are rather ordinary. Not a lot of range, and not a lot of power. And for such a gorgeous woman, her vocals don't come across as sexy in the slightest.

My favorite is Sierra Swan. However, the most talented, in my opinion, is Tarja.

[City_of_da_Moon]

My favourites are The chicks from: - Sins of thy Beloved .
Christina from Lacuna Coil.
Nightwish chick
And the Chick from "within temptation"

Yeah, Darkwell is good too.

 

[NastyJoan]

I would say that Crsitina Scabbia, is the best female singer, Anneke is more beautiful but that doesn't count.

Liv Kristine , Kari Rueslaten and Sarah from Therion doesn't count because to me they only sing because they pay them but they don't fell the metal like Cristina and Anneke and the Music from lacuna Coil is better than The Gathering
