Best Metal Female Lead Singer

[Disarmonia_Mundi]

So, who do you guys think the best female lead singer is in metal?

Angela Gossow - Arch Enemy
Laura Nichol - Light This City

any others? Wondering who you guys think it is...

 

[Fury of the Storm]

Simone Simons- Epica

Simone Simons- Epica

Bah you can't compare clean opera style vocals to death metal vocals lol

But, my money is on Laura Nichol she blows away Angela!!!!

 

[Wires & Waves]

theres pretty much no good ones

 

[Susperia]

I really like the lead singer of Tarujnen Saari right now. Lovely voice.

Probably not my favorite ever, but I'm really digging it right now.

 

[CAIRATH]

Agnete Kirkevaag from Madder Mortem.

I don't understand what is so special about Angela Gossow's vocals, they are completely unremarkable in every possible way.

 

[Skepticism]

Fuck Gossow. Ozma and Doc rule.

Agnete Kirkevaag from Madder Mortem.

I don't understand what is so special about Angela Gossow's vocals, they are completely unremarkable in every possible way.

I agree with every word in Cairath's statement.

I agree.

Though I can stand Gallhammer's singer. And like it's already been said - Madder Mortem's singer is ok too.

Anneke remains my favourite, especially live. Of course The Gathering are not metal anymore, so i don't know if she counts for a thread answer.

 

[Hell Mike]

How about Sabina from Holy Moses?

 

[entanglement]

Kari Rueslåtten of 3rd and the Mortal. The band itself isn't bad but her vocals do kick quite an amount of arse.

 

[SheisMySin]

Tarja from Nightwish hands down.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Runhild Gammelsaeter/Ozma (Thorr's Hammer, Khlyst)

 

[ThisIsACoolName]

Simone Simons- Epica

I came in here to post this.

QFT

 

[Day_Before_Dawn]

Definitely Anneke van Giersbergen of The Gathering for me.

I guess Mandylion is kind of metal.

 

[Procella]

Agnete Kirkevaag from Madder Mortem.

I don't understand what is so special about Angela Gossow's vocals, they are completely unremarkable in every possible way.

Exactly.

Agnete is wonderful singer. Her vocals are varied and full of emotions.

I also agree about Angela. i think the only remarkable thing about her is that she's a woman and there are not many women singing that way. Together with the popularity of the band it makes every fan of metal know her.

 

[Destroy Erase Improve]

female metal vocalists are terrible, and all the chick pants wearing male singers who try to imitate them.

Lori Bravo of Nuclear Death.
