female vocals

[angelofdeath9308]

Post your favorite female vocalists, songs, bands, etc... Even if it's just back up vocals or anything.

I really like Venus and A Rose For The Dead by Theatre of Tragedy. Also Liv's new band Leaves' Eyes is cool. Also love the new Celtic Frost song Obscured, there's some female vocals in there.

Anyone heard the new ToT album?

 

[Graft]

Pink without a doubt, the best vocalist up there

 

[Talking Meat]

Beth Gibbons has the flawless, silky smooth and slightly smoky voice. Tops.

 

[all_sins_undone]

tirill is pretty sick

 

[stefan86]

i'm usually quite against female vocals in metal but Lumsk and Theatre of Tragedy's "Aegis" are cool. antimatter have some beautiful stuff going as well

 

[tchocky]

Beth Gibbons has the flawless, silky smooth and slightly smoky voice. Tops.

Yeah I think Beth Gibbons is my favourite female singer as well, absolutely fantastic and powerful, yet very, very sexy.

Mia Ståhl - The Project Hate MCMXCIX

Never knew project hate had two different female vocalists. maybe I was too busy being amazed by jörgen's growls

 

[Tumn]

Well for the first few albums till 2002 Mia was in it, then Jonna for the rest

And yeah, Jörgen owns!

 

[stefan86]

m'kay. I like some of Cyber Sonic Super Christ and When We Are Done.. Listened some to Hate, Congregate, Eliminate and it was too electronic though

 

[Tumn]

Fuck man, get their whole discography. Their newest album - Armageddon March Eternal is fanfuckingtastic!

 

[stefan86]

guess i could try 'em. i'm not a huge fan though since i'm more out for jörgens growls than anything else

 

[Liquid Diamonds]

Beth Gibbons, Billie Holliday, Chan Marshall, Amy Winehouse, Bjork, Mariza, Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, Christina Aguilers (yes, you read right), Etta James, Anneke van Giersbergen, Merry Clayton, Joni Mitchell, Shirley Manson, Alison Goldfrapp, Kate Bush, Martha Wainwright, Roisin Murphy, Sia Furler, Ming Xia... that should be it.

 

[Risquit]

Not metal, but cult anyway, Elisabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins and Massive Attack.

 

[metal_wrath]

The only female vocalists I have been listening to lately are Classical style Soprano vocalists

 

[N-MAYH]

i like Doro... and angela gossow to an extent...

 

[illidurit]

billie holiday, joni mitchell, carole king, ella fitzgerald, janis joplin

 

[Kenneth R.]

Heather Findlay (Mostly Autumn)

[Syd07]

Astrid van der Veen... she was only like 14 when she did the Ambeon album. The songs on Ambeon's album are mostly composed of different remixed pieces of songs from Ayreon albums
