Best female vocals in the history of metal

[fourdegrees]

Jessicka from Jack off Jill goes off, as does the chick from My ruin, and the chick from Rasputina.. also Aimee Echo.

If it doesn't neccesarrily have to be metal, my vote goes to Minnie Riperton (best female singer ever! 6 octave vocal range), Suzi Jane Hokom & Patrice Rushen (although she sometimes sings kind of out of tune). The Norwegian singer Sissel Kyrkjebø also has a decent voice. Her version of "Summertime" is the best vocal version I've heard of that fantastic song.

6 Octave vocal range?!?! I must hear this amzing voice! Recommend any songs I should try?

Floor Jansen of After Forever is amazing, live too, she is totally awesome. Shivers down my spine everytime I hear it.

Anneke is great too by the way.

Would be my pleasure:
Reasons
Adventures in paradise (is both a song and an album)
Inside my love
Minnie's Lament
Baby, this love I have
and her hit, which you may know:
Lovin' you

I have mp3'ed her LP "Adventures in paradise" and plan on doing the same with her LP "Perfect angel" and some of her other songs (I have two more records by her), so you should be able to get them from me if you can't find them anywhere!

Runhild Gammelsaeter is THE BEST female vocalist in metal.

 

[xenophobe]

Yes, too bad she's not in a band anymore.

Runhild has an amazing gutteral growl, but her clean voice is droning and fairly monochromatic, nothing special. I had the pleasure of catching sunn0)) recently and Runhild was in attendance, they didn't do any Thorr's Hammer songs unfortunatly but she did get up on stage to sing that song that Kari Ruelsatten sang on the Storm album acapella. Then she just laid down on stage for a bit while sunn0)) played.

My vote goes to Tarja, just because it would probably be technically the best in metal with her background in music.

 

[Torgoth]

Elisabeth Toriser (Dargaard, DominionIII)
Tanya Borsky (Die Verbannten Kinder Eva's)
Eve-Gabrielle Siskind(Elend)

 

[Terminal Spirit Disease]

Runhild is by far one of the best. Shamefully I can't remember the name of the girl from Sanctus who sung alongside Jason but she was very good to.

I heard some of that live cd that Theatre of Tragedy made in Liv Kristines voice sounded pretty horrible!! The last verse on "And when he falleth" is also pretty crappy by her. It's the part after the stuff with the film sample or whatever it is. Her voice on "...a distance there is..." is decent though!
I had the "Enter" cd by Within Temptation. Besides getting bored by after a while, I was dissapointed by the vocal. Really weak voice. On top of that I think it was pretty much rip-off of Theatre of Tragedy.

Tarja.
Her voice is inbossible to copy and she sings much better than we do.

 

[Lost Johnny]

Hands down, Karyn Crisis, now and forever, the queen of metal!!
