Good all female metal bands?

[Heavenly Call]

Not super metal, but Vanilla Ninja has a "Vixen-esque" sound. Also liked Phantom Blue!

 

[Creeps]

Did the Cycle Sluts from Hell have any dudes? I don't remember the band, just the name.

nope, all girls.. forgot about them too.

I wish you were a beer was a great song.

 

[Burkhard]

Meanstreak was a great band also.

I still listen to their only album every now and then. Funny coincidence that three members of this band are married to members of Dream Theater.
Someone recently posted a live-clip (obviously a bootleg) of their song "Snakepit" on youtube, namely here.

One of the best all-female metal bands were probably Ice Age from Sweden (though they never got beyond demo-status). The guy who posted the clip of Meanstreak also posted Ice Age´s promo-clip of "Instant Justice" (an excellent thrash metal song, with Debbie Gunn on vocals) and a live-clip of "General Alert" on youtube. Even though the band ceased to exist long ago, two of their former members also posted a few songs on their myspace-pages, namely former vocalist/guitarist Sabrina Kihlstrand and former lead guitarist Pia Nyström.

Some other - maybe more obscure - all-female metal bands which haven´t already been mentioned were (because they don´t exist anymore):

Original Sin (I´m referring to the thrash metal band who released a pretty good album titled "Sin Will Find You Out" in 1986 - though the lyrics were terribly cliched)
Mother Earth (who released a CD titled "Transitions" somewhere in the nineties)
Rage Of Angels (to my knowledge, they only released one demo titled "Time And Space")

Also the (non-defunct) Norwegian band Octavia Sperati started off as an all-female band (if I´m not mistaken), but now they´ve got a male drummer.

My favorites: (And I'm really picky about femail vocals)
In no particular order:

• Aesma Daeva
• Lacuna Coil
• The Tempest
• Genatortures
• Arch Enemy
• Visons of Atlantis
• After Forever (Although they are hit and miss with me... but when the song is done right it's fucking done RIGHT)

Those are just off the top of my head. I'm sure I'll think of more later.

Unfortunately, none of them are all-female. They are "only" female-fronted.

np: Kate Bush - "Sunset"

I never got anything out of Drain STH. I missed the boat on them I guess.

Octavia Sperati

I love the guitar sound on that first Warbride clip I listened to...

True, guess I should have paid more attention to the actual thread. My fault.
