Swans and Dead Can Dance are essential. Both have female vocals, per your requisite.

Jesu is a good one. Some may argue they are metal. Hardly.

Goblin

The operatic musical "The pantom of the opera" is really nice too.

A gorish musical with some hollywoodians stars as Paris Hilton. Seems really interesting I think.

[CF87]

Velvet Revolver blow.

Fuck no and it's to bad scott weiland got the boot. I saw them outside when their second album Libetad came out and they were one of the loudest and tightest bands i've seen besides Heaven & hell and they fucking rocked out for a good two & and half hours playing their songs guns n roses and stone temple pilots songs and it was phenomental. Slash's sound was massive and his playing was phenomenal.

He's so much better than cheesy mario/ nintendo dungean & dragon guitarist's in the metal genre that have no substance nor go anywhere. It is impossible to even explain his playing because he is that fucking good.

 

[The Ozzman]

Scott Weiland getting the boot was the best thing to happen to that band because now STP is back together. Velvet Revolver was never good.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Velvet ReLOLver.

Two words for this thread:

OZRIC
TENTACLES

 

[Einherjar86]

STP kick fucking ass.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

This thread needs more noise

Lightning Bolt
Black Dice
Government Alpha
Merzbow
Incapacitants
Pain Jerk

And I'm sure you've heard Sonic Youth before...

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Lightning Bolt is noise rock, not really straight noise. Decent regardless, and my advisor/prof of computer art is a big fan.

More great noise:

Nelvoroth
Ahlzagailzehguh
Bloody Letter
Killer Bug/Kazumoto Endo

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I know. I just felt that they were too good to be ignored. I've been thinking about picking up some more harsh noise lately myself. I'll be sure to check these out.
