What's up y'all? It's been a while since I've done a MyTake but this is one I've been wanting to do for a while now so I finally decided to stop procrastinating and get to it! When people, or at least people unfamiliar with metal, think of heavy metal music they probably picture big burly men with long beards and tattoos jumping around on stage screaming their hearts out. I want to show some love for the all female and female fronted metal outfits, which there are plenty of! Without further ado let's get in to this. 🤘 I decided to feature some relatively unknown and underground artists and bands. 🖤
#1 NERVOSA
Nervosa is an all female thrash metal band originally from São Paulo, Brazil. These ladies are absolutely brutal and they have no problem keeping up with the guys! 😎
#2 Xenoblight
This female fronted progressive death/thrash metal band hails from Denmark. An absolutely killer band with a powerful female vocalist. I've been listening to these guys for a while now and they're nothing short of amazing! 😍
#3 Sylvanie
This one woman band from Norway writes, composes, and performs the instruments in all of her songs. Another powerhouse of a vocalist whose primary genre is blackgaze from what I can tell (there's not much information on her). She also composes solemnly beautiful piano pieces and other such songs. An absolute talent. Pleaaaase check her out and show her some love!
One of her piano pieces, absolutely gorgeous:
#4 Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult
A female led black metal band from Germany. They perform traditional raw black metal which is an acquired taste, and I've definitely aquired it.
#5 Asagraum
An all female black metal band from Norway. Absolutely killer ladies performing black magic with their instruments. 😜
#6 Once Human
Okay I think that's enough black metal for y'all lmao. I could fill this whole list up with female black metal bands. Once Human is a female fronted melodic death metal band from Los Angeles, California, founded in 2014 by music producer and former Machine Head/Soulfly guitarist Logan Mader. He recruited miss Lauren Hart on vocals and she's an absolute BEAST!!!
#7 Sinistro
Sinistro are a doom/sludge metal band from Portugal. They're music is as heavy as it is haunting, thanks to Patricia's beautiful solemn vocals. The lyrics are in Portuguese so I don't understand the words. 😂 But I still adore them nonetheless. Their music videos are also very surreal and bizarre.
#8 Cerebral Bore
Last but DEFINITELY not least, we have the monsteress of Cerebral Bore, Simone "Som" Pluijimers. I literally cannot tell the difference between her and a male brutal death metal vocalist. Abso-fucking-lutely insane. Sadly she was only with the band for a few short years. She also fronted the melodic death metal band Your Chance To Die, who also feature a secondary female vocalist, I shall also link one of their songs. (WARNING: EXTREMELY BRUTAL)
Cerebral Bore:
Your Chance To Die:
How ya feeling? Did these ladies melt your face off? Thank you for reading and I hope your eyes and ears have been opened. 👀
Metal definitely isn't for everyone but those who have a love for the genre definitely shouldn't underestimate the badass ladies of the metal scene.
