Best Metal Female Lead Singer

[Astrum]

I generally dislike female singers in metal.

Yeah, they shouldn't be doing vocals for a band. They should be making the band some sandwiches, cleaning the tour bus, or providing some post-concert oral satisfaction.

Harsh vocals suck. Growls and shrieks rule. Harsh vox are for your as i lay dying crap.

Harsh vocals I've always found to be a coverall term for growls, shrieks, grunts, etc

 

[ThisIsACoolName]

It's sort of hard for me to wrap my brain around why someone would prefer harsh vocals over clean. It just doesn't make sense to me. I don't know, to each his own.

so bands like slayer and sodom suck?? they have harsh vocals

A good clean vocalist is really tough to find.

eh... lots of really good clean singers in power, progressive and heavy metal

He means hardcore/metalcore style vocals.

I'm really not big on vocalists who do multiple styles. I do exempt that statements from bands like opeth, however that growl/switch to high pitched shrill shriek bullshit really just makes my penis shrivel. I find myself enjoying between the buried and me however, which i know is horrible, but they made a badass cover cd and i stand by the statement that thats just a cool fucking thing to do.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

between the buried and me are not bad at all

 

[IcedMaidenAllica]

Their vocalist is absolutely insane... hes all normal looking but the facial expressions he gives while singing are absolutely hilarious... it made me giggle when i saw them open for Evergrey/Nevermore/ someone else Dragonforce maybe, i dont really remember....

I really dislike Simone Simons from Epica. I think I mentioned this in another thread, but I just find her really mediocre. She does nothing to me. Sure, she's hot and looks great in a corset, but that doesn't improve her singing abilities.

Everything I have heard by her lacks vibrato and her range seems small, I would tend to agree with you. I like the gal from Operatika right off the top of my head.

Vibeke Stene plzkthx.

 

[CF87]

Vibeke Stene plzkthx.

Yeah. she's hot

 

[Life Sucks]

clean vocals in metal in general isn't my cup of tea, so females who do that type of vocals I don't care for. Learn to accept other people's opinions.

I know what you mean. Almost all the bands I listen to have non-clean vocals. I do like some bands with clean vocals, though.

Anyways, on the actual topic. I am not a fan of Lacuna Coil, but Christina Scabbia has a great voice.

 

[Carcassian]

Mourn is exactly the kind of band one might expect, given their name and the fact they are on the record label owned by Lee Dorrian (Cathedral) -- that being early-Sabbath inspired doom metal. Caroline Wilson's vocals are a nice touch -- she has a clear voice and her singing makes the band sound less dreary than other doom metal bands. Their self-titled album is not groundbreaking, but is enjoyable nevertheless. The band broke up some time after the release of the album.

 

[The Living Fields]

Dawn Crosby (Fear of God, Detente)

Whoever sang on Hammers of Misfortune's "The Locust Years"
