Women Fronted Bands or "Lady Metal"
Anyone here fans of bands such as Lacuna Coil, Nightwish or Within Temptation? If you are, I've just discovered a few bands I'd like to recommend to you if not, read on and you may be inspired to go and download yourself a few tracks!
Not so much a fan of Lacuna Coil more of the latter, my favourites, Nightwish and most definately the amazing Within Temptation.
Nightwish is fronted by the stunning 'operatic' singer, Tarja Turunnen, and Within Temptation fronted by flawless songstress, Sharon Den Adel. Both bands have a somewhat similar sound, the only difference being the male vocalist in Nightwish, both bands, are orchestral metal sometimes known as "Doom" or "Gothic Symphony" music. If you like your big orchestras with violins, cellos, violas, flutes and harps and you also like your full on metal bands with guitar, drums and synths you need some Lady Metal in your life. XD
Geez, I sound like a commercial!
Anyways, here are some reccomendations from both the bands:
Nightwish:
01 Nemo
02 I Wish I Had An Angel
03 Creek Mary's Blood
04 Ghost Love Score
05 Phantom of the Opera
06 Bless the child
07 The Siren
08 End of the World
09 Forever yours
Within Temptation:
01 Mother Earth
02 Running up that hill (Kate Bush cover)
03 Ice Queen
04 Our Farewell
05 Jillian (I'd Give My heart)
06 Angels
07 Stand My Ground
08 Caged
09 Memories
All great songs, very dramatic sounding, kind of depressing, but hey. XD
Moving on, I needed more bands like these so I looked on amazon today at some customer list things and I searched for the reccomended bands on DC++ and there are some great, and rather interesting bands.
The first being, 'The Sins Of Thy Beloved' they use the whole 'Beauty and the beast' vocal thing with the growling, scary, guy and the beutiful, melodic, female bouncing off each other. The band 'Tristania' also do this but Sins of Thy Beloved are the better of the two. These two bands are heavier than Nightwish and Within Temptation for those who like harder gothic metal.
Ambeon, Leave's Eyes, and Delight are very smilar to Lacuna Coil, Nightwish and Within Temptation, very pretty songs. I might post some samples at another time but I just thought I'd share my finds with you all, see if you like them...and of course...if you know of any other really good female fronted bands feel free to share! =P
