what do you guys think of women in metal (real metal no emo shit)
>>70939476
If it isn't super gay it isn't real Metal.
>>70939490
be nice to Manowar
>>70939499
I am. I am saying all Metal needs to be like Manowar.
Women don't deserve special treatment within a genre just because of their gender. There are bands that I like with female members, but not because of said female members. Pic related is a good example.
>>70939513
Manowar is like a shot of testosterone straight to the balls.
I like Arkona
>>70939585
looks like joanna's "twisted fucking psychopath" side
Sometimes punk sometimes metal but always good.
Also like Girlschool Cycle Sluts from Hell Smashed Gladys Genitorturers Warlock (From Germany) Earthly Grave (Chicago featuring violinist Rachel Barton Pine) and The Great Kat.
Any other good metal bands with women one could recommend? These are all I know so far.
>Nightwish
>have been written off as shit and 'Disney metal' for decades by people in the metal community
>fans don't give a shit, they still sell out world tours everytime they put out a new album
>suddenly the hordes are triggered in their thousands when their lead singer makes an off-hand remark in an interview saying she thinks Slayer are shit and aren't her thing
>visit Blabbermouth daily for a week just to savour the palpable assblastedness in the comments from Slayer fans
Is there a woman more BASED than Floor Jansen in metal?
OG (Original Grill) COMING THRU
>>70939725
Floor is GOAT. can't wait to see them again
>>70939725
>floor jansen will never dominate you
Why live?

>Bori(ng)s
Myrkur is great
>>70940730
boy you got me good
Female vocals can spice up a metal song really well. It's a shame a lot of the metal community is Like That or there might be more variety in the genre + subgenres
I don't think gender really matters too much besides aforementioned issues for any other instruments though.
>>70940761
Yeah, as great as deafheaven /s
>>70939585
I worked an Arkona show a few years back. They were all insufferable assholes. Top 5 pain in the ass of hundreds of shows that I've worked on.
>>70941045
Deafheaven is great

A little to muscular women to me. Are their any nice british women out there ? any more tatiana maslany's out there?
It's unfortunate that it comes off as a gimmick 100% of the time
the chick from oathbreaker is pretty good 2bh
Are there good female singers in trad or speed?
>>70941759
>>70941596
That's because it actually is a gimmick 90% of the time. It's usually just some hot chick doing ebin """operatic""" vocals or playing the bass inaudibly
If she can't beat the shit out of you, she isn't metal enough.
>>70941877
holy shit.

stand aside
Dorthia Cottrell is the lead vocalist for Windhand and one of my favorite metal vocalists, period.
There's only one good woman in metal
>>70942047
I was going to post that. Also the Wounded Kings had a female vocalist for a while
>>70939476
Having a girl in a band's lineup is a very bad sign for a metal band. The vast majority of metal bands with females suck. Just speaking from observation. Even then, they are typically not a core member, and are not involved in composition or anything past simply playing the instrument.
Metal requires a certain amount of isolation and aggression to play well. You have to be a genuinely strange and poorly socially adjusted individual to make good metal music, and very few girls meet those criteria. The ones who think they do usually opt to make shitty punk music anyways.
Call me an edgelord, but women really don't have what it takes to be legendary metal musicians. That's just their nature. They're social creatures, and metal in an asocial genre.
Women keep setting back women in metal. There is no reason for them to play dress-up at every show, for every shoot (especially when the male members of the band are jeans/t-shirt guys) but they keep doing so. I equally have no respect for men who keep over-dressing compared to the rest of the band, but it typically is the female bassplayer/singer/keyboardist that looks like a 90s bondage show advertisement.
Plus every now and again they start 'all-female' bands which barely ever work out or are any good. Especially at the 'local band' level this never seems to go well enough to not damage people's perception.
I remember a case a couple of years ago where a former member of an obscure metalcore band wanted to start an all-female band called Heels of Steel (despite there already being a band with that name). They spent months blogposting about their 'progress' finding members and writing songs and posting personal pics on the band page. Ultimately they 'settled' for a male drummer, but they never released anything despite blogposting for well over a year.
Which is ironically what I just did. Fuck.
Womemen in womemetal
Shit in shit
Another example from my local scene.
Band with male vocalist:
https://youtu.be/eeqikMcwklQ
Same band with female vocalist:
https://youtu.be/FArRtC1ER3E
Suddenly the band opted for barely audible vocals and has been working on their 2nd release for over 3 years now.
/r9k/ has arrived on the scene
Nobody's mentioned Annke yet. She's pretty great in most of her collaborations/bands
>Devin Townsend
>The Gathering
>Gentle Storm
>Solo Albums

I would smack them all with my penis, as long as I don't have to listen to them play music.
>>70941768
look up Original Sin, which has connections with Virgin Steele
They can be aight.
Katherine Katz is really the only one I'd say I like.

thanks man
Entheos had a pretty great female vocalist. I didn't even realize it was a woman until I saw them life
jf anyone needs examples of what i was talking about in >>70940825 see >>70942245
I love the chicks in subrosa.
>>70942052
Was it autism?
Women in metal are boring and sluts like in every other musical genre.
The biggest innovation they have done is to wear corsets and be fat like that evanaces chick.
Like how hard is it to use radical feminism and images of dead men on album covers as an aesthetic and make black metal, christ, you could totally do that.
There, its my idea, a man invented that. Take it you vaginas.
