OK- my list is long, since I'm all for female fronted metal bands!!!
My fave is After Forever. Then Epica, old Theatre of Tragedy, Within Temptation, the Gathering, Beseech, Nightwish, Dreams of Sanity, Tristania, Lacuna Coil, Trail of Tears ( when they still had a female singer) the Project Hate, Distorted, Nightwish, Dead Can Dance ( not metal, but they are awesome)
Here is some stuff you really have to check out: Dutch band Nemesea. They sound a bit like Nightwish/ Lacuna Coil but with a beter singer AND wonderful prog elements!
A Spanish band called Ebony Ark, I first saw them a couple of weeks ago when they played at Epica's Paradiso Amsterdam show and they totally blew me away. What a singer!!! Also with prog elements.
If you want to read more about female fronted metalbands, there is a great label/ webzine from the USA that specializes in the genre:www.soniccatheral.com
They are also the nicest of people- I ran into them at the Epica gig, they flew in to see the show!
Then there is a top of the line festival in Belgium every year, devoted to female fronted bands: Metal Female VoicesYou should check that out as well- they have a killer line up
