female vocals

[Sadguru]

Geez, I forgot about Hammers of Misfortune! I might like the stuff on the Unholy Cadaver EP and The Bastard best (Janis Tanaka).

Jamie Myers is also on Wolves in the Throne Room.

Wonderful voice indeed!

And I can't believe I still need to hear their album!

 

[NubianGoddess]

I'm so ashamed! Dusty and Tina, PLEASE forgive me!

i'm trying out The Gathering "If Then Else" right now. It seems nice for that genre for sure. I'll comment more when i'm sure if it's okay or good

I'd also recommend their latest, "Home", which is a totally amazing album. I've listened to The Gathering since they released "Always", but it wasn't until when Anneke joined the band that I REALLY started to enjoy their music.

Other female vocals I enjoy:

Anneke van Giersbergen (The Gathering)
Anneli Drecker (Bel Canto)
Liv Kristine Espenaes (Theatre Of Tragedy(old))
Kari Rueslåtten (The 3rd and the Mortal(old))
Ann-Mari Edvardsen (The 3rd and the Mortal)
Anna Ternheim
Emma Nordenstam
Stina Nordenstam
Maire Brennan (Clannad)
Björk
Loreena McKennitt
Linda Perhacs
Elizabeth Fraser (Cocteau Twins)
Beth Gibbons (Portishead)
Jenny Hval (Shellyz Raven)
Tori Amos

Go with Mandylion. The guitars are still heavy and doomy.

Ella Fitzgerald ftw.

Tristania, and Lacuna Coil have the best female vox ever. Full stop. IMHO

 

[Opeth Leaves]

Really liked Liv Kristine on CoF's 'Nymphetamine'.
Anna Ternheim also.

Yeah, that was pretty good. She doesn't sound as great in Leaves Eyes for some reason

Well I'm sorry for enjoying Nymphetamine, and CoF. There, I said it.
