Really now? You make a video about female fronted metal bands and leave Hanabie. out, but put in the ultra-boring Lovebites? Sorry, but that's a very bad decision.
You really managed to leave out Nightwish when showing your "normie" wife female fronted metal? Correct that mistake as soon as you read this comment. Your wife will be forever grateful for showing her one of the best voices of our time.
I mean that might be a good idea for him to do, since she's listening to all of his music, but I don't think I'd watch that. I watch this channel for metal.
Okay, very nice! Let me say that IMHO Call of the Mountain is my favorite female fronted video of all time! Pieces is definitely in the top 5. In the #2 spot it's Handshake with Hell Summer 2023 tour video. 🤘🏼
@@themightymcb7310 Some of you really do just make shit up for no reason... ''According to a verdict delivered by the Municipal Court in Prague on March 5, 2013, it was proven that Blythe had thrown Nosek offstage and thus had moral responsibility for his death.'' Stop spreading misinformation.
@@DarrellW_UK As good as great "The Warning" is (especially live - please use "Automatic Sun" from Vevo studios ... they are not Metal - Heavy Rock, yes ... Metal, no ... but anyhow, they ARE fantastic.
Ad Infinitum, The Dark Side Of The Moon, Beyond The Black, Blackbriar, ... Arch Enemy, Unleash The Archers, Halestorm (well - if The Warning goes, than Halestorm too), Lacuna Coil, Nemophila, Babymetal (just for fun), Beast in Black ;-)
@DericLP agreed, especially with Seven Spires and the Japanese ladies (Band Maid, Fate Gear, Nemophilia). Adrienne from Seven Spires might be my favorite gal in this wheelhouse currently, found out about them seeing her on tour with Avantasia in 2019 when the first bit she did was Mille from Kreator's part on Book of Shallows. Seeing a 5'3" gal just unleash in Ronnie Atkins' face was incredible.
Here's some more great female-fronted metal bands: Thorr's Hammer (Death Doom) Mythic (Death Metal) Dipygus (Death Metal) Hulder (Black Metal) Smoulder (Heavy Metal) Castle Rat (Doom Metal) Acid King (Stoner Metal) Couch Slut (Sludge Metal) Year of the Knife (Deathcore) Venom Prison(Deathcore) Sacrilege (Crust Punk) Cloud Rat (Grindcore) Edit: also shout-out to Wata from Boris who isn't a vocalist but is one of my favorite guitarists ever. Most badass woman in metal imo
Flagitious Idiosyncrasy In The Dilapidation - cool grindcore band, all female. Oathbreaker - black metal/post metal/shoegaze; Sinistro - portugese fado music/doom metal
Halestorm, The Pretty Reckless, In This Moment, Hanabie, Lacuna Coil, Synlakross, Mary's Blood, Within Temptation, Tarja, New Year's Day and Babymetal.
Don't forget In This Moment. Maria Brink has one of the coolest voices in the genre, and she's one of the only vocalists that absolutely _shredded_ a Pantera cover!
The Warning! Xandria, Imperial Age, Cobra Spell, Anna KiaRA and just for some good measure's let's throw Marrisa and The Months in there too cause why not.
Female fronted bands. Kittie, crypta, Jenner, Nervosa, in this moment, epica, nightwish, not enough space, delain, Apolinara, within temptation, amerathe, core of dieing earth, asagraum, the agonist. If you want more female fronted metal bands I can give you more. That's just off the top of my head. I follow a ton of them on Spotify and Facebook. I can find even the most obscure ones as well. I think with the list I gave is probably 2 episodes. Lol.
Courtney from Spiritbox does scream like that. You should check out one of her one take videos. Like Spiritbox - Rule of Nines - Courtney LaPlante live one take performance
spiritbox has fallen off in terms of what their unique sound was. they went super mainstream which is no wonder the wife rates their song so high. it's literally just a radio song. their latest song is closer to how they used to sound for their second EP which matched the name of the band very well. after Eternal Blue they just went into sounding generic.
@@ElMarcoHoJ lmao. generic song composition is Spiritbox quality? Spiritbox hasn't had much since Sew Me Up. not counting this new single. and it's pretty well known they have gone for radio style music for the past few singles. i mean, look who they collabed with, recently.
@@vincentdarkrosrayne Going mainstream does not always equate going generic, and even then, having a generic sound does not always equate to a bad thing, it happens because it works lmao. The songs still bang. You say they haven't had much yet they keep growing in popularity lmao. Y'know the term for someone like that? Another boring-ass, dime a dozen, ironically generic elitist. You ain't special.
@@vincentdarkrosrayne Sorry bro but just another boring-ass, dime a dozen, awful musical opinion I've read a million times before. You should try enjoying things instead of being pretentious though, good for your mental health. Adios.
i can't believe you did not show her Epica and nightwish... listen to Unleashed live retrospect or solitary ground live paradiso, she will fall in love
Japan is pretty much the unrivaled world leader for female and female-fronted metal bands. There are about as many in Japan as there are in the rest of the world combined, and they pretty much demolish their Western counterparts. LOVEBITES, Band-Maid, Nemophila, Hanabie, Trident, Hagane, Bridear, Fate Gear, Gacharic Spin, BABYMETAL, Asterism, Unlucky Morpheus, Wagakki Band, and many more.
Only problem is, just like J-Rock/Pop, the bands are manufactured more often than not. So after the first wave of bands, the music will end up sounding the same/formulaic.
@@Majiger This is a myth. In point of fact Japanese rock and metal bands form pretty much as organically as they do in the west. Take a band like Destrose whose long list of former members went on to form a whole new family of bands. In fact the music scene is pretty close knit in Japan and many band members have close ties to other bands which makes for a great deal of intermingling and collaboration. The myth that these bands are somehow corporately "manufactured" is usually perpetrated by gate keeper old metal heads who think you can't be "real" metal unless you sound and look like an industrial accident in somebody's garage. They somehow seem intimidated by the high level technical musicianship and professional showmanship that is typical of Japanese bands and think it must be made by some faceless guy in a suit.
@@michaelafrancis1361 It isn't a myth, please look a little closer at the Japanese music industry. While independent bands exist, the primary bands that are advertised with big productions are, by and large, owned by some corporation or another. That doesn't mean bands like Destrose don't exist, they are simply not the norm. No one mentioned anything, what is "real" or isn't. I'm simply stating that the first wave of a type of music is generally the most independent of industry fingers. Once something pops off, it is heavily monetized by the Japanese music industry. That's not even mentioning how Visual-Kei has dipped into elements of metal for years but was never considered metal due to probably Western bias towards more aggressive sounds.
Since she seems to like clear singing I would recommend checking out some Gothic/Doom metal bands with female lead/singers like Trees of Eternity, Draconian, The Birthday Massacre (very different she might like) , The Gathering, Theatre of Tragedy, Mortal Love and Lacuna Coil
From all female bands I recommend: (metalcore) Nemophila - Adabana and Hanabie. (powermetal) Lovebites, Bridear, Mary's Blood, Doll$boxx, Aldius (hard rock) Band-Maid - Dont You Tell ME and Gacharic Spin Female fronted: Unlucky Morpheus (speed/power/symphonic metal) and Wagakki Band (folk rock) And then there are the best symphonic metal band in the whole world (personal favorite) Epica - Chasing the Dragon live
Props to her for sitting down with him and listening to stuff out of her comfort level because I would never be able to get my girl to even attempt to do this
Evanescence; Nightwish; Within Temptation; Lacuna Coil; Butcher Babies; The Pretty Reckless; Halestorm; and most importantly, with the scream queen herself.. the beautiful Mother Goddess Maria Brink.. In This Moment (the song I recommend is Sanctify Me).
If you two ever do sit down to watch some Babymetal, I hope you show her more than just Gimme Chocolate! 😂 One of my favorite ways to start people who don't know Babymetal is Catch Me If You Can live at Budokan...the surprise when the girls come on stage is always good. I would also recommend Megitsune (official MV), Road of Resistance (official live video), and either Akatsuki or Rondo of Nightmare live at Budokan. Babymetal fanboying aside, I've really been enjoying this series. I have a normie wife of my own, almost makes me want to do a similar thing with her 😄
Well, if you say ‘female fronted metal’ Japan has to come to mind. I didn’t know Albion so well, and I feel he missed to opportunity to squeeze in Hanabie, Unlucky Morpheus, KOIAI, Nemophila, even Babymetal - all very different from each other
You should have explained where the windmill came from…..Why it is called a windmill… And I think your girlfriend would like Nightwish, Epica, Charlotte Wessels very much.
To mention a few bands of different genres: Epica, Crypta, Sisters of Suffocation, Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult, Nervosa, Delain, Walls of Jericho, Lacuna Coil, Nightwish
Poppy is a good artist to contrast between her pop era and metal era. other good female fronted bands are Dream State, In This Moment, Tommy Heavenly6, Dazzle Vision, Lacuna Coil, Otep, Lacey Sturm (early Flyleaf), Infected Rain, Kittie (preferable their first album), and Straight Line Stitch. Oh, and i guess Linkin Part can be on that list now. bands from pretty much all over but i believe all of them have songs mostly in english (aside from tommy heavenly6 which is about 40% english 60% japanese. also that band is more alternative rock than metal)
A few more suggestions ranging from Mainstream to obscure as usual: Nightwish Flyleaf (If Grunge can be included, this should maybe fit) Sigh (Semi Female fronted, she is a saxophonist and singer, lead singer in some songs) Gallhammer, and all female japanese Crust Punk that is the total opposite of Babymetal.
To get a flavour of what a female can bring to metal you must listen to Nightwish “Yours Is An Empty Hope” live from Mexico City. Floor Jansen is the complete package. From growling to opera and anything in between. Floor is doing the growling in the chorus.
- Eths - Détruis-Moi (French black metal: Candice is the first vocalist, i don't like much the second one) - Walls of Jericho - A Trigger Full of Promises - BABYMETAL - Akatsuki (or anything really)
There's a Hungarian Technical/Avantgarde/Folk Black-Metal project with some female vocals called Thy Catafalque, it mixes Black-Metal with Folk and some Electronic music, sometimes Jazz too. Try "Sirály", "Napút", "Balra a nap" and "Hajnali csillag".
I recently discovered Divent., they're a not too recently formed female-lead Hungarian modern metal band mixing harsh and clean vocals, her voice is insane! I really like Demofób from them, so check it out if you wanna
Great to see people reacting to such things. (this is not any slight towards you, just want to point out some things, some are common misconceptions) 1:51 Probably the most reacted to is: Babymetal, but in the past the distribution company took down a lot of reactions (common for Japanese companies in the past, Japan has no fair use exception so they can just do that), but people have been reacting to them since at least 2014/2015. And still getting multiple reactions per day and Babymetal's Gimme Choco MV is getting closer to 200 million views now. That said, I would not recommend to listen to that as a first reaction, unless you want to shock factor. Why not something like: Ijime,Dame,Zettai at Sonisphere, 2014, UK. I'm certain some could say Babymetal isn't metal, let's say the music is metal music. Metal music in Japan used to be a lot bigger (X-Japan era, etc. if you want to checkout women from that era: Show-Ya, they even existed a few years before X-Japan and are still active), I wouldn't say it's big now in Japan (just like rock and metal where more popular in the past in the west), what we are seeing is more Japanese bands finding ways to the western market, especially UA-cam, etc. I do think things have slowly improved, the current wave was started by Babymetal. But Japan still has only 1 regular big metal festival, which has a hard time filling a 20 000 people stadium for 2 days (Bring Me The Horizon and Babymetal both have organized their own festivals at the same venue as well, for the first time, we don't know if this will return, a venue Babymetal by themselves sell out regularly),. While in Europe (a population almost 6 times as large), we got a whole bunch of festivals which are 80 000+ at a single stage at a festival with a lot more stages. So sure for Asia, yes, Japan is probably the top country. 22:00 the culture of singing is different for sure, vocal coaches regularly ignore a part of the vocal range very much taught in the west (I've read about this in the past, but I'm no expert so I forgot the name of the part of the range).
And then there are The female band The Warning, with their own sub genre in rock they are wiping the floor clean from other bands. Their drummer Paulina Villarreal was awarded the price as Rock drummer of the year in 2023. The three sisters from Mexico are playing some serious rock . Here is Dany their guitar player on stage with Hale storm in Quebec the other day ua-cam.com/video/Uf2L14Yvu6E/v-deo.html
I was hoping Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult to be here. Onielar's screams are great, especially live. I'll recommend their song "Saldorian spell" for the next female fronted band reactions. Might as well recommend Asagraum - Gospel of Ignition while i am at it, although i assume this type of black metal songs aren't gonna be her cup of tea
you should watch the live recording Spiritbox did, where its just Courtney on vocal with Rule of Nines - you can really see that she's still actually pretty relaxed while screaming also definitely for Babymetal you should do Megitsune
I don't like the term female fronted because there are too many of them. But there are only a few American ones and only they think it's so exotic. The video with the most reaction videos is Ghost Love Score by Nightwish. Then come Viceos by BTS and Babymetal. In the 1960s/70s, British and US pop music was very popular. Because it is also the common language for Europeans as a whole, it has remained popular to this day. Many people can understand an English text, but only a few can understand an Estonian one. And the language sounds familiar to everyone. A text in German sounds controversial because not every country has had good experiences with Germany. The change from growls/screams to normal is not difficult. These are techniques that you can practice and then it works reflexively. Octave jumps are more difficult in my opinion because it is harder to get the tension right. Fans on stage are difficult. If something happens, the band can be held responsible. The fans can also become aggressive towards the band. With small bands, not much happens, but the more prominent a band is, the more fans there are, the more crazy people there are. At some point it becomes too difficult.
A female fronted Japanese metal band that I absolutely love is Unlucky Morpheus, especially their Vampir mini-album. Each of their albums is different, that one is best described as neoclassical speed/power metal I think, Angriefer is just perfection. They also did a song which they play normally first, then play it backwards, only the drums are different and the lyrics' meaning is backwards as well, there's a video on their official channel with sheet music: CADAVER/REVADAC
Was hoping Ankor - Prisoner. Listened to that song a lot over the last month. The last quarter of the song kicks ass. Drums are great. Please consider for next video.
If you want a band with a massive Iron Maiden influence crossed with Muse, Foo Fighters and Metallica, you need The Warning. Bonus: tightest live band ever, incredible energy and stage presence, masterful writers and arrangers. 🔥
The Warning are amazing (I’ve seen them live 3 times) but they are at the heavier end of classic/alt rock rather than metal. Their heaviest songs do move into metal, “Sharks” has a very Nu metal vibe and they did a great version of “Enter Sandman” for the Metallica Blacklist album.
@@the_hetman Depends on what one means by "metal". For a channel that features Iron Maiden, they are as metal as them or Black Sabbath or even Metallica ever were. If you mean contemporary sub-categories of metal, there are many "heavier", if how aggressive and dense the sound is what matters to one.
I don’t disagree, at least in a historical context. The metal bands from the 70s and 80s weren’t as heavy as those that have come later, but metal has become redefined in more recent decades and I was mostly saying that The Warning doesn’t fit that newer definition. The band doesn’t define themselves as metal which is why I prefer to say that they are at the heavier end of classic rock.
@the_hetman For sure. And metal will always have an evolving identity. The Warning lands with metal fans the same way people who like jazz often enjoy Steely Dan.
Such a missed opportunity which turned to reaction to normie female fronted metal. Where the hell are Crisis with Karyn Crisis? She is absolute queen of female vocals in extreme music. Her current solo project is also finebut she shined mostly in Crisis. My other suggestions are: - Health Hazard (UK) extreme hardcore punk - After the Bombs (Canada) metal crust in the way of Sacrelige - third world planet "World Waste" demo era (Canada) great hardcore grind - Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult (Germany) black metal, Onielar not only does vocals but she also plays guitar. She is also vocalist for the last two Bethlehem albums. - Thorr's Hammer (USA) the vocalist Runhild is actually from Norway and she was seventeen when she recorded material with the band. Absolutely insane vocals! - Society Gang R@pe (Sweden) Swedish type of käng punk spiced with a pinch of death metal and grindcore as well - Aghora (USA) their first selftitled album is very approachable technical/fusion metal with clean vocals - Recusant (UK and France if not mistaken) great avantgarde anarcho punk with various not so metal and punk instruments - Kittie (USA) all girl modern metal band Evelyn likes bands from Japan? Here we go: - Melt Banana - mixture of many styles but always hectic and wild - Flagitious Idiosyncrasy in the Dilapidation - all girl grindcore band - 385 - very funky noise punk, insanly good stuff
You should show her some of these female fronted bands. Thorr's Hammer Myrkur Fuck The Facts Cerebral Bore Kali Yuga Arch Enemy with Angela on vocals Iwrestledabearonce with Courtney from Spiritbobx and Krysta on vocals Kittie The Agonist
Conquer Divide, baby metal, nightwish, scene queen, cassyette, Butcher babies, New Year’s Day, Amaranthe, Lacuna Coil, Dream state (early stuff with CJ on vocals)
I can suggest a couple female fronted bands such as: 1. “Flagitious Idiosyncrasy in the Dilapidation”. They are an obscure grindcore band with all female members. They released one album in 2013 called Wallow. 2. “Gore.” . A more popular band. The singer is great at harsh vocals and she’s a great singer. They only have a handful of songs but they are worth checking out such as “Pray” and “Doomsday”. I haven’t listened to their newest song yet. (They only have 3 songs). You guys would probably like Gore more than the previous band.
If you intend to do another female fronted metal reaction video, I want to suggest following: Girlschool - Race with the devil Therion - Via nocturna (live 2007) Wendy o Wiliiams - I's my life Joan Jett and The Blackhearts - I hate myself for loving you L7 - Pretending we're dead Arch enemy - The eagles flies alone
Woah, I was not expecting to see Albion on this list. If you're interested, the singer from Albion was in a band called Rakshasa, which WAS a folk metal band side project of the some members of Japanese symphonic black metal band, Ethereal Sin. I also recommend Japanese, neoclassical power metal band, Area51. Their music video "Nightmare" is on the Tubes, off their second most recent album. But their latest album (albeit 2014) is fantastic and the best album by far: "Judge The Joker".
Here are a few suggestions for part two: Future Palace - Flames Ad Infinitum - Outer Space Red Handed Denial - Collector Conquer Divide - Welcome2pradise Dying Wish - Until Mourning Comes Skarlett Riot - Underwater The Anchor - Masterpiece Kittie - Cut Throat Gore. - Doomsday Delain - Moth To A Flame Stitched Up Heart - Immortal Infected Rain - Never To Return As Everything Unfolds - On The Inside Goodnight Greatness - Raising Wolves SeeYouSpaceCowboy - To The Dance Floor For Shelter Butcher Babies - Sleeping With The Enemy Beyond The Black - Lost In Forever Drown This City - Stay Broken In This Moment - The Purge New Years Day - Malevolence Straight Line Stitch - Black Viel Once Human - Eye Of Chaos breakk.away - Secret Amber Town - Bloom Eyes Set To Kill - Break Forever Still - Breathe In Colours Face Yourself - Grosse Begarre Icon For Hire - Curse Or The Cure iwrestledabearonce - Button It Up Wake The Dead - With No Regrets Abnormality - Curb Stomp Blind Ivy - Apogee
Y'all should react to all the other amazing all female rock and metal bands from Japan. Band-Maid, Nemophila, Hanabie and Nek! are amazing, but there are many more. Rock isn't dead, it moved to Japan and changed gender. 🕊️ Also, The Warning out of Mexico.
There are a lot of female fronted or all female bands in Japan (JPop, JRock, JMetal and so on) a short selection for JMetal would be Hanabie, Nemophila, Doll$Boxx (Dolls Box), Unlucky Morpheus, STMLT (Stimulate), Bridear, KOIAI, HAGANE, Asterism (they started out as an Instrumental band but have added singing lately, so some songs have no vocals), Destrose (on hiatus), Mary's Blood (on hiatus), Lightbringer (on hiatus). If you expand the list to include JRock (Rock/Hard Rock) you can add Gacharic Spin (for a Rock band they can go surprisingly heavy, see "I Wish I"), Band-Maid, East of Eden, Lonessome_Blue, Nek! (Neki, the "!" is an upside down "i"). Some of those bands are related in interesting ways (past members, shared members, side projects, composers) there is 1 big family in the bands I listed: Destrose (at least a dozen bands including Lovebites, Nemophila, Albion, Mary's Blood, Lonesome_blue, Disqualia, Aldious, Fate Gear), and a bunch connected to the vocalist Fuki (Fuki Collective, Lightbringer, Unlucky Morpheus, Doll$Boxx which has very strong ties to Gacharic Spin). One thing I will say about the female Japanese bands is that they tend to be friends with each other (the women for women thing), you will see them at each others concerts, spending downtime together, supporting each other during emergencies and god help you if you piss them off (the Band-Maid song "Hate?" is about a cheating spouse of another singer). Edit: Oh and turn Closed Captions on, many of the Japanese bands know they have western audiences and have provided lyric translations. For non-Japanese female fronted metal bands: Ankor, Face Yourself, Nightwish, Epica, and Arch Enemy. As for your wife's comment about being a classically trained pianist and then switching to metal, that is more common in Japan than you would think the shining example is a Pianist/guitarist by the name of Miyako from Lovebites (a concert grade pianist turned master guitarist/composer) for stand out examples of her playing the piano see the songs "Swan Song (with Chopin intro)" and "Edge of the World" and her solo work "Eagle Fly Free (piano cover)" she has serious skills. Another known example is Kanami from Band-Maid (Hard Rock instead of Metal) again piano to guitarist/composer though there are less songs of her playing, she has said that she only listened to classical music until high school and that her favorite composer was Chopin. It is interesting that both Miyako and Kanami have a very similar path through life, classical education, serious piano skills, pick up guitar in their teens, serious guitar skills, both compose many of their respective bands songs.
YO BOY! THAT UMBRO GEAR IS SOMETHING!... YOU KNOW THAT I KNOW HOW YOU'RE GROOVING ABOUT!😆 AND ALL I CAN SAY IS: 100% RESPECT AND PLEASE!... Just do some Eurodance reacts! I dare you ma boy! 😁😆🤣
The charismatic voice (UA-cam channel) is going to start an research on metal screams and singing. The front of Jinjer is one of the 7 that is going through the procedure. It's going to be so interesting
Oathbreaker - Second Son Of R. (post-black metal) Jucifer - Window (Where The Sea Falls Forever) (sludge metal/indie rock) Windhand - Orchard (stoner doom metal) Chelsea Wolfe - Iron Moon (doom metal/gothic rock) After Forever - Transitory (power metal) Nightwish - Wish I Had An Angel or Nemo (power metal) Liturgy - Before I Knew The Truth or God Of Love (avant-garde black metal)
There are some truly fantastic female-fronted metal bands out there, from all sorts of different subgenres. Just off the top of my head: Hiding From Myself by As Everything Unfolds (Progressive pop-Metal); Hologram or Detonate by HAWXX (Progressive Metal); Empire by Red Handed Denial (Progressive Metalcore); Katana by Inferiority Complex (Progressive Metalcore); Vibtech or OneManWolfPack by Marmozets (Mathcore); The Plague on Both of Your Houses by Blood Command (Deathpop/Hardcore); Off With Their Heads by ALT BLK ERA (Nu-Metal); Skin by Mallavora (Alt-Metal). With the Japanese side, you also have DOLL$BOXX, BRIDEAR, and HANABIE (among many, many others) And then you also get the stuff that is more on the rock side than metal, like RedHook, Vukovi, Dream State, etc.
Surprising no popular Symphonic Metal bands like Nightwish, Epica, within Temptation Delain. They are under the Power Metal sub genre so she night have heard them. Theres alot more amazing ladies that front metal bands in the comments. mexican hard rock band The Warning she would love.
Now that you show her female frontend bands Nice to see you show her Arch enemy you should definitely have showed her handshake with hell, house of mirrors, the eagle flies alone, the world is yours, War eternal even the old stuff with Angela we will rise, nemesis and my apocalypse. But in my humble opinion you forgot to show her lacuna coil that are one of the greatest metal bands besides Arch enemy Christina scabbias voice is so beautiful and all their albums kicks ass especially comalies xx that whole album you should definitely show her another good bands you should show her as well is cellar darling with Black Moon and freeze. In this moment beautiful tragedy and as well as babymetal and of course another Japanese metal band ladybaby Nippon manju that song too is amazing love your channel man ❤
Dude! Japanese, female vocals, metal/hardcore-ish, has dynamics in their music, female plays an instrument, has clean singing, equals to Maximum the Hormone. Gotta bring them to the channel!
Japan is where it's at! Where's Band-Maid, Babymetal, Nemophìla, Hanabie, Fate Gear, STMLT, PASSCODE, Fruit Pochette, Doll$Boxx? That's where all the "girl power" is at. Not female fronted. FULL FEMALE LINEUP! "Men? We didn't need no stinking men!"😂😂😂 I'll be seeing Jinjer in October and Hanabie will be opening. Wanna hear a 4 foot nothing tiny Japanese girl growl like a beast? Considering what she said she likes I think these bands are really up her alley. Seriously you should check out Hanabie. One of the most fun bands you'll ever experience. Oh yeah, and I'm seeing Lovebites next week in Dallas. 4 hour car ride, SO WORTH IT!
I'm so happy you included Fleshwater! It makes sense to include them in a metal playlist. Even if they're more grunge/shoegaze/whatever, they all have ties to-and respect from-the hardcore and metal scene. I'd love to see Evelyn's reaction to Dying Wish. 🤘
I remember watching The Charismatic Voice react to Kingdom by Devin Townsend, and her commenting on his intense scream faces. She said that what he was doing wasn’t difficult or painful, they were being used to add intensity to the performance. It’s always been jarring to me, watching Courtney’s calm demeanor while screaming. Another one that does that a lot is Maria Brink from In This Moment.
Tardigrade Inferno could fit right in this episode. For their quality of material they're criminally underrated. And they're actually from my home city!
Some suggestions for metal bands to react to that I think she might find interesting: Oceans of Slumber: I like Winter, but Cammie does some growling on Where Gods Fear to Speak so I think that could be cool Draconian: Sorrow of Sophia. Have you given her any doom yet? :D Nova Twins: Antagonist. Bit of a throwback to the early 2000s, but nobody really like them about at the moment. Perchta: Hebamm. She has some incredibly expressive harsh vocals. Also a song about midwives! Ulcerate: Stare Into Death and Be Still. Just because I want to hear you try to explain Ulcerate to her lol Long song so feel free to go shorter. Avatarium: Boneflower. Very 70s singing approach, in my opinion. That's probably too many but thought I'd throw some names in the ring. The one other I can think of is Devin Townsend, especially since he's Canadian.
Missed opertunity. Canadian born Alyssa White Glutz in Arch Enemy and side project with Nita Strauss Wolf you Feed. Floor Jansen with Nightwish has converted non metal heads to devoted metal heads since 2012 , anything from Wacken 2013 will do Great channel .
6:25 the timbre of a lot of female vocalists reminds me of a banshee's wail...or maybe the shriek of a vengeful ghost. Dudes sound more like growling beasts.

Really now? You make a video about female fronted metal bands and leave Hanabie. out, but put in the ultra-boring Lovebites? Sorry, but that's a very bad decision.
You really managed to leave out Nightwish when showing your "normie" wife female fronted metal? Correct that mistake as soon as you read this comment. Your wife will be forever grateful for showing her one of the best voices of our time.
you definitely need to do a full video on Spiritbox especially now with that "Soft spine" song that just came out!
Pourquoi? Parce que Megadeth est très populaire au Québec, ils ont même une bière brassée par Unibroue (filiale de Sleeman)
React to some of her normie music perhaps
GENIUS IDEA!
FULLY AGREE
Yes
Hell yeah
I mean that might be a good idea for him to do, since she's listening to all of his music, but I don't think I'd watch that. I watch this channel for metal.
Fans on stage is USUALLY not a safety risk, but when it is you get a Dimebag Darrell situation
fans on stage: hardcore yes (bands are relatable, part of the community, not above the crowd etc), metal no (dimebag darrell)
Okay, very nice! Let me say that IMHO Call of the Mountain is my favorite female fronted video of all time! Pieces is definitely in the top 5. In the #2 spot it's Handshake with Hell Summer 2023 tour video. 🤘🏼
or the opposite like what ended up happening with Randy Blythe
@@xcronexThey found the guy Randy threw off stage, he was alive. The person who died hit their head at the show and died later

''According to a verdict delivered by the Municipal Court in Prague on March 5, 2013, it was proven that Blythe had thrown Nosek offstage and thus had moral responsibility for his death.''
Stop spreading misinformation.
Nightwish, vision of atlantis, Epica, The Warning, Lovebites, Battle beast.. a couple mentions
also Eluveitie
Definitely The Warning - Automatic Sun would be good!
@@DarrellW_UK As good as great "The Warning" is (especially live - please use "Automatic Sun" from Vevo studios ... they are not Metal - Heavy Rock, yes ... Metal, no ... but anyhow, they ARE fantastic.
Ad Infinitum, The Dark Side Of The Moon, Beyond The Black, Blackbriar, ... Arch Enemy, Unleash The Archers, Halestorm (well - if The Warning goes, than Halestorm too), Lacuna Coil, Nemophila, Babymetal (just for fun), Beast in Black ;-)
@paulakuljunlahti darzamat , nocturnal slaughter cult , crytpa ,nervosa. But everyone is focused on stupid jinjer and dumb Japanese band
Show her some Opeth! She’d probably like the variation of light and heavy in their songs.
oh yeah, Opeth is a must
Yes! 👍
Also Ne Obliviscaris
Only one Opeth song with a female co-lead though 😉
I think Otep would be a better choice
bro you gotta include crypta, they are insane
CRYPTA MENTIONED RAHHHH
@@snrgel5091 Crypta and Nervosa both, but she doesn't like too much screaming.
!!! CRYPTA MENTIONED !!!
🇧🇷🇧🇷 VAI BRASIL! 🇧🇷🇧🇷
YES
@@snrgel5091 next episode we will!
Nemophila, Battle Beast, Seven Spires, Fate Gear, Brothers of Metal, Band-Maid, Epica, Within Temptation, Evanescence, Nightwish, Show-Ya, Amaranthe, Halestorm
This list needs all the upvotes.
@DericLP agreed, especially with Seven Spires and the Japanese ladies (Band Maid, Fate Gear, Nemophilia). Adrienne from Seven Spires might be my favorite gal in this wheelhouse currently, found out about them seeing her on tour with Avantasia in 2019 when the first bit she did was Mille from Kreator's part on Book of Shallows. Seeing a 5'3" gal just unleash in Ronnie Atkins' face was incredible.
Instant like when you mentioned Seven Spires. My favorite band
Here's some more great female-fronted metal bands:
Thorr's Hammer (Death Doom)
Mythic (Death Metal)
Dipygus (Death Metal)
Hulder (Black Metal)
Smoulder (Heavy Metal)
Castle Rat (Doom Metal)
Acid King (Stoner Metal)
Couch Slut (Sludge Metal)
Year of the Knife (Deathcore)
Venom Prison(Deathcore)
Sacrilege (Crust Punk)
Cloud Rat (Grindcore)
Edit: also shout-out to Wata from Boris who isn't a vocalist but is one of my favorite guitarists ever. Most badass woman in metal imo
Check Out Hadopelagyal
Flagitious Idiosyncrasy In The Dilapidation - cool grindcore band, all female. Oathbreaker - black metal/post metal/shoegaze; Sinistro - portugese fado music/doom metal
Also:
m.ua-cam.com/video/fF_p3Ywerqg/v-deo.html
VEXED (metalcore)
do you know the icelandic movie málmhaus (metal head)?
Halestorm, The Pretty Reckless, In This Moment, Hanabie, Lacuna Coil, Synlakross, Mary's Blood, Within Temptation, Tarja, New Year's Day and Babymetal.
Conquer Divide
Don't forget In This Moment. Maria Brink has one of the coolest voices in the genre, and she's one of the only vocalists that absolutely _shredded_ a Pantera cover!
@@thefallencure yes, his list plus conquer divide is like perfect^^
The Warning! Xandria, Imperial Age, Cobra Spell, Anna KiaRA and just for some good measure's let's throw Marrisa and The Months in there too cause why not.
Female fronted bands. Kittie, crypta, Jenner, Nervosa, in this moment, epica, nightwish, not enough space, delain, Apolinara, within temptation, amerathe, core of dieing earth, asagraum, the agonist. If you want more female fronted metal bands I can give you more. That's just off the top of my head. I follow a ton of them on Spotify and Facebook. I can find even the most obscure ones as well. I think with the list I gave is probably 2 episodes. Lol.
Brutus, Julie Christmas (solo or her work with Made Out of Babies, Battle of Mice, Cult of Luna), MakeMake, Kylesa, to add some names to this list.
In this moment, deadlands, unleash the archer some
Rolo Tomassi, Pupil Slicer, Elizabeth Color Wheel, Lingua Ignota (ok maybe not metal)
Oceans of Slumber, Destiny Potato, Conquer Divide, and Mechina (ft Mel Rose) are great bands too with solid female vocals
How you going to forget Arch Enemy?
Courtney from Spiritbox does scream like that. You should check out one of her one take videos. Like Spiritbox - Rule of Nines - Courtney LaPlante live one take performance
spiritbox has fallen off in terms of what their unique sound was. they went super mainstream which is no wonder the wife rates their song so high. it's literally just a radio song. their latest song is closer to how they used to sound for their second EP which matched the name of the band very well. after Eternal Blue they just went into sounding generic.
@@vincentdarkrosrayneL take. Jaded and songs like The Void still have that Spiritbox quality.
@@ElMarcoHoJ lmao. generic song composition is Spiritbox quality? Spiritbox hasn't had much since Sew Me Up. not counting this new single. and it's pretty well known they have gone for radio style music for the past few singles. i mean, look who they collabed with, recently.
@@vincentdarkrosrayne Going mainstream does not always equate going generic, and even then, having a generic sound does not always equate to a bad thing, it happens because it works lmao. The songs still bang. You say they haven't had much yet they keep growing in popularity lmao. Y'know the term for someone like that? Another boring-ass, dime a dozen, ironically generic elitist. You ain't special.
@@vincentdarkrosrayne Sorry bro but just another boring-ass, dime a dozen, awful musical opinion I've read a million times before. You should try enjoying things instead of being pretentious though, good for your mental health. Adios.
What about :
Hanabie's "We Love Sweets"
Crypta's "From The Ashes"
Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult's "A Plague Called Humanity" 🔥⚡🤘
Yeah, Hanabie is a must. If you do Baby Metal, you should do Broken by the Scream as well. Crypta is a good call as well.
i can't believe you did not show her Epica and nightwish...
listen to Unleashed live retrospect or solitary ground live paradiso, she will fall in love
I was shocked. I thought that was Floor in the thumbnail. Floor, Simone, Sharon, Charlotte. There so much awesomeness there
Or Epicas amazing ballads.
@@paulriddle7818It’s Tatiana, Courtney LaPlant, and Alissa White-Gluz in the thumbnail.
@@xtravagentk1275 .... Alissa looked like Floor in the thumbnail......
@@paulriddle7818I can see that a little bit. Makes sense how you mistook her for Floor.
Japan is pretty much the unrivaled world leader for female and female-fronted metal bands. There are about as many in Japan as there are in the rest of the world combined, and they pretty much demolish their Western counterparts. LOVEBITES, Band-Maid, Nemophila, Hanabie, Trident, Hagane, Bridear, Fate Gear, Gacharic Spin, BABYMETAL, Asterism, Unlucky Morpheus, Wagakki Band, and many more.
Flagitious Idiosyncrasy In The Dilapidation - all female grindcore band. Gallhammer - all female black/doom/crust band. honorable mentions : )
All of those.... That is basically my playlist
Only problem is, just like J-Rock/Pop, the bands are manufactured more often than not. So after the first wave of bands, the music will end up sounding the same/formulaic.
@@Majiger This is a myth. In point of fact Japanese rock and metal bands form pretty much as organically as they do in the west. Take a band like Destrose whose long list of former members went on to form a whole new family of bands. In fact the music scene is pretty close knit in Japan and many band members have close ties to other bands which makes for a great deal of intermingling and collaboration. The myth that these bands are somehow corporately "manufactured" is usually perpetrated by gate keeper old metal heads who think you can't be "real" metal unless you sound and look like an industrial accident in somebody's garage. They somehow seem intimidated by the high level technical musicianship and professional showmanship that is typical of Japanese bands and think it must be made by some faceless guy in a suit.
@@michaelafrancis1361 It isn't a myth, please look a little closer at the Japanese music industry. While independent bands exist, the primary bands that are advertised with big productions are, by and large, owned by some corporation or another. That doesn't mean bands like Destrose don't exist, they are simply not the norm.
No one mentioned anything, what is "real" or isn't. I'm simply stating that the first wave of a type of music is generally the most independent of industry fingers. Once something pops off, it is heavily monetized by the Japanese music industry.
That's not even mentioning how Visual-Kei has dipped into elements of metal for years but was never considered metal due to probably Western bias towards more aggressive sounds.
you definitely need to show her Dying Wish
Yes and Volatile Ways and Year of the Knife
Or Dying Fetus….🤷🏻♂️😂
LOVEBITES are phenomenal, you should listen to more of their music, they are very diverse.
Storytime by Nightwish, Wacken 2013.
Rock stars from Mexico 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 🇲🇽
The Warning - Automatic Sun
She will love The Warning.
Absolutely 100% with that!
Female fronted bands worth checking out: Nightwish, Epica, Delain, Scardust, Crypta, Nervosa, Theatre of Tragedy, Draconian, Venom Prison, Mary's Blood, Tristania, Within Temptation, Asagraum, Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult, Kittie, Amaranthe, Babymetal, Lacuna Coil, The Agonist, Walls of Jericho, Entheos, Rolo Tomassi
And don't forget Nemophila. 🤘😋
Since she seems to like clear singing I would recommend checking out some Gothic/Doom metal bands with female lead/singers like Trees of Eternity, Draconian, The Birthday Massacre (very different she might like) , The Gathering, Theatre of Tragedy, Mortal Love and Lacuna Coil
Anneke and Christina 🤘
oh yes, Draconian is a good one
@@redfbaesseaaaaaaaaaah I’m in love with that band. Winter coming soon… 😤
From all female bands I recommend: (metalcore) Nemophila - Adabana and Hanabie. (powermetal) Lovebites, Bridear, Mary's Blood, Doll$boxx, Aldius (hard rock) Band-Maid - Dont You Tell ME and Gacharic Spin
Female fronted: Unlucky Morpheus (speed/power/symphonic metal) and Wagakki Band (folk rock)
And then there are the best symphonic metal band in the whole world (personal favorite) Epica - Chasing the Dragon live
Props to her for sitting down with him and listening to stuff out of her comfort level because I would never be able to get my girl to even attempt to do this
You should also talk about The Warning, Nemophila, Hagane, Hanabie, Band-Maid. And Lovebites is the ultimate reference.
100% for The Warning, 3 sister band the 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
yeah the warning are so great
Great video. And I really liked your explanation of ghost notes too! x
Evanescence; Nightwish; Within Temptation; Lacuna Coil; Butcher Babies; The Pretty Reckless; Halestorm; and most importantly, with the scream queen herself.. the beautiful Mother Goddess Maria Brink.. In This Moment (the song I recommend is Sanctify Me).
Hanabie, Entheos, Crypta, Year of the Knife are a few I can think of that you missed. I would also add some old school Eths in there.
If you two ever do sit down to watch some Babymetal, I hope you show her more than just Gimme Chocolate! 😂 One of my favorite ways to start people who don't know Babymetal is Catch Me If You Can live at Budokan...the surprise when the girls come on stage is always good. I would also recommend Megitsune (official MV), Road of Resistance (official live video), and either Akatsuki or Rondo of Nightmare live at Budokan.
Babymetal fanboying aside, I've really been enjoying this series. I have a normie wife of my own, almost makes me want to do a similar thing with her 😄
You should show her Arch Enemy - Nemesis live with Angela Gossow on the vocals. The energy is insane.
and the agonist with alissa, the mix of clean singing is so nice
I'm here just for LOVEBITES!🤘🐺
Wolfpack united! 🤘🏼🐺🤘🏼
@@TheCyberMantisYeah! 🐺
Me 2 🐺 🔥
Well, if you say ‘female fronted metal’ Japan has to come to mind. I didn’t know Albion so well, and I feel he missed to opportunity to squeeze in Hanabie, Unlucky Morpheus, KOIAI, Nemophila, even Babymetal - all very different from each other
What about in this moment epica kittie crypta nightwish you should show her some gwar and some primus and some dream theater
You should have explained where the windmill came from…..Why it is called a windmill…
And I think your girlfriend would like Nightwish, Epica, Charlotte Wessels very much.
Détente, Holy Moses, Meanstreak and Nightwish are the first that come to mind when I think of female fronted metal, maybe these could go in a part 2
If Evelyn likes “ Call of the Mountains” she would probably like Cellar Darling, Anna Murphy’s band after she left Eluveitie.
To mention a few bands of different genres: Epica, Crypta, Sisters of Suffocation, Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult, Nervosa, Delain, Walls of Jericho, Lacuna Coil, Nightwish
Poppy is a good artist to contrast between her pop era and metal era. other good female fronted bands are Dream State, In This Moment, Tommy Heavenly6, Dazzle Vision, Lacuna Coil, Otep, Lacey Sturm (early Flyleaf), Infected Rain, Kittie (preferable their first album), and Straight Line Stitch. Oh, and i guess Linkin Part can be on that list now.
bands from pretty much all over but i believe all of them have songs mostly in english (aside from tommy heavenly6 which is about 40% english 60% japanese. also that band is more alternative rock than metal)
+1 for Dazzle Vision
I'm loving this series! For the next female fronted bands video: Blood Command - The Plague On Both Your Houses
Where is Queen Floor.
A few more suggestions ranging from Mainstream to obscure as usual:
Nightwish
Flyleaf (If Grunge can be included, this should maybe fit)
Sigh (Semi Female fronted, she is a saxophonist and singer, lead singer in some songs)
Gallhammer, and all female japanese Crust Punk that is the total opposite of Babymetal.
To get a flavour of what a female can bring to metal you must listen to Nightwish “Yours Is An Empty Hope” live from Mexico City. Floor Jansen is the complete package. From growling to opera and anything in between. Floor is doing the growling in the chorus.
I bet she would love Electric Callboy
Yeah for sure ratatatata is amazing love techno train too
Your Wife will love Nightwish with Floor
She'll love all of the Symphonic woman vocalists
Spiritbox is absolutely going to be right up her alley. There's a mix of clean and harsh and I think she would appreciate the musicality!
- Eths - Détruis-Moi (French black metal: Candice is the first vocalist, i don't like much the second one)
- Walls of Jericho - A Trigger Full of Promises
- BABYMETAL - Akatsuki (or anything really)
There's a Hungarian Technical/Avantgarde/Folk Black-Metal project with some female vocals called Thy Catafalque, it mixes Black-Metal with Folk and some Electronic music, sometimes Jazz too. Try "Sirály", "Napút", "Balra a nap" and "Hajnali csillag".
I recently discovered Divent., they're a not too recently formed female-lead Hungarian modern metal band mixing harsh and clean vocals, her voice is insane! I really like Demofób from them, so check it out if you wanna
@@moralfo0109 Oh cool, thx for the recommendation(Haven't checked them yet).
Great to see people reacting to such things.
(this is not any slight towards you, just want to point out some things, some are common misconceptions)
1:51 Probably the most reacted to is: Babymetal, but in the past the distribution company took down a lot of reactions (common for Japanese companies in the past, Japan has no fair use exception so they can just do that), but people have been reacting to them since at least 2014/2015. And still getting multiple reactions per day and Babymetal's Gimme Choco MV is getting closer to 200 million views now. That said, I would not recommend to listen to that as a first reaction, unless you want to shock factor. Why not something like: Ijime,Dame,Zettai at Sonisphere, 2014, UK. I'm certain some could say Babymetal isn't metal, let's say the music is metal music.
Metal music in Japan used to be a lot bigger (X-Japan era, etc. if you want to checkout women from that era: Show-Ya, they even existed a few years before X-Japan and are still active), I wouldn't say it's big now in Japan (just like rock and metal where more popular in the past in the west), what we are seeing is more Japanese bands finding ways to the western market, especially UA-cam, etc. I do think things have slowly improved, the current wave was started by Babymetal. But Japan still has only 1 regular big metal festival, which has a hard time filling a 20 000 people stadium for 2 days (Bring Me The Horizon and Babymetal both have organized their own festivals at the same venue as well, for the first time, we don't know if this will return, a venue Babymetal by themselves sell out regularly),. While in Europe (a population almost 6 times as large), we got a whole bunch of festivals which are 80 000+ at a single stage at a festival with a lot more stages. So sure for Asia, yes, Japan is probably the top country.
22:00 the culture of singing is different for sure, vocal coaches regularly ignore a part of the vocal range very much taught in the west (I've read about this in the past, but I'm no expert so I forgot the name of the part of the range).
And then there are The female band The Warning, with their own sub genre in rock they are wiping the floor clean from other bands. Their drummer Paulina Villarreal was awarded the price as Rock drummer of the year in 2023. The three sisters from Mexico are playing some serious rock . Here is Dany their guitar player on stage with Hale storm in Quebec the other day ua-cam.com/video/Uf2L14Yvu6E/v-deo.html
Broken by the Scream, Kokeshi, Employed To Serve, ClownUs all have female vocalists that scream
I was hoping Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult to be here. Onielar's screams are great, especially live. I'll recommend their song "Saldorian spell" for the next female fronted band reactions. Might as well recommend Asagraum - Gospel of Ignition while i am at it, although i assume this type of black metal songs aren't gonna be her cup of tea
Onielar is the best.😍🤘
you should watch the live recording Spiritbox did, where its just Courtney on vocal with Rule of Nines - you can really see that she's still actually pretty relaxed while screaming
also definitely for Babymetal you should do Megitsune
first day on this channel for me and ive added almost everything to my playlist. appreciate ya!
Welcome!
I don't like the term female fronted because there are too many of them. But there are only a few American ones and only they think it's so exotic.
The video with the most reaction videos is Ghost Love Score by Nightwish. Then come Viceos by BTS and Babymetal.
In the 1960s/70s, British and US pop music was very popular. Because it is also the common language for Europeans as a whole, it has remained popular to this day. Many people can understand an English text, but only a few can understand an Estonian one. And the language sounds familiar to everyone. A text in German sounds controversial because not every country has had good experiences with Germany.
The change from growls/screams to normal is not difficult. These are techniques that you can practice and then it works reflexively. Octave jumps are more difficult in my opinion because it is harder to get the tension right.
Fans on stage are difficult. If something happens, the band can be held responsible. The fans can also become aggressive towards the band. With small bands, not much happens, but the more prominent a band is, the more fans there are, the more crazy people there are. At some point it becomes too difficult.
Arch Fucking Enemy
Great intro, man! Love that you included Wolf Down on this
A female fronted Japanese metal band that I absolutely love is Unlucky Morpheus, especially their Vampir mini-album. Each of their albums is different, that one is best described as neoclassical speed/power metal I think, Angriefer is just perfection. They also did a song which they play normally first, then play it backwards, only the drums are different and the lyrics' meaning is backwards as well, there's a video on their official channel with sheet music: CADAVER/REVADAC
Was hoping Ankor - Prisoner. Listened to that song a lot over the last month. The last quarter of the song kicks ass. Drums are great. Please consider for next video.
If you want a band with a massive Iron Maiden influence crossed with Muse, Foo Fighters and Metallica, you need The Warning. Bonus: tightest live band ever, incredible energy and stage presence, masterful writers and arrangers. 🔥
Excellent its on the list for the next one!
The Warning are amazing (I’ve seen them live 3 times) but they are at the heavier end of classic/alt rock rather than metal. Their heaviest songs do move into metal, “Sharks” has a very Nu metal vibe and they did a great version of “Enter Sandman” for the Metallica Blacklist album.
@@the_hetman Depends on what one means by "metal". For a channel that features Iron Maiden, they are as metal as them or Black Sabbath or even Metallica ever were. If you mean contemporary sub-categories of metal, there are many "heavier", if how aggressive and dense the sound is what matters to one.
I don’t disagree, at least in a historical context. The metal bands from the 70s and 80s weren’t as heavy as those that have come later, but metal has become redefined in more recent decades and I was mostly saying that The Warning doesn’t fit that newer definition. The band doesn’t define themselves as metal which is why I prefer to say that they are at the heavier end of classic rock.
@the_hetman For sure. And metal will always have an evolving identity. The Warning lands with metal fans the same way people who like jazz often enjoy Steely Dan.
Love these videos, you’re definitely easing her into metal haha. If you ever end up doing the viewer roasting thing, i’d be down to send something!
Loving the series! Would love to see more compilation series. Maybe genre compilations or band compilations to her higher rated bands
Band: Face Yourself
Songs: Sirens, Guillotine, Unhinged, Red
Not including girls from crypta/nervosa is such a mistake, they are beasts!
Such a missed opportunity which turned to reaction to normie female fronted metal. Where the hell are Crisis with Karyn Crisis? She is absolute queen of female vocals in extreme music. Her current solo project is also finebut she shined mostly in Crisis. My other suggestions are:
- Health Hazard (UK) extreme hardcore punk
- After the Bombs (Canada) metal crust in the way of Sacrelige
- third world planet "World Waste" demo era (Canada) great hardcore grind
- Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult (Germany) black metal, Onielar not only does vocals but she also plays guitar. She is also vocalist for the last two Bethlehem albums.
- Thorr's Hammer (USA) the vocalist Runhild is actually from Norway and she was seventeen when she recorded material with the band. Absolutely insane vocals!
- Society Gang R@pe (Sweden) Swedish type of käng punk spiced with a pinch of death metal and grindcore as well
- Aghora (USA) their first selftitled album is very approachable technical/fusion metal with clean vocals
- Recusant (UK and France if not mistaken) great avantgarde anarcho punk with various not so metal and punk instruments
- Kittie (USA) all girl modern metal band
Evelyn likes bands from Japan? Here we go:
- Melt Banana - mixture of many styles but always hectic and wild
- Flagitious Idiosyncrasy in the Dilapidation - all girl grindcore band
- 385 - very funky noise punk, insanly good stuff
Brackish by Kittie is the gateway to Girls liking metal.
You should show her some of these female fronted bands.
Thorr's Hammer
Myrkur
Fuck The Facts
Cerebral Bore
Kali Yuga
Arch Enemy with Angela on vocals
Iwrestledabearonce with Courtney from Spiritbobx and Krysta on vocals
Kittie
The Agonist
Conquer Divide, baby metal, nightwish, scene queen, cassyette, Butcher babies, New Year’s Day, Amaranthe, Lacuna Coil, Dream state (early stuff with CJ on vocals)
"Can we bring back capes as a society?"
*Edna Mode has entered the chat*
Ithica - They Fear Us
Iwrestledabearonce- Smells like Kevin Bacon
Magdalene Rose - Shark Spray
Rolo Tomassi - Cloaked
Best breakdown in IWABO is probably in Ulrich Firelord: Breaker of Mountains
I can suggest a couple female fronted bands such as:
1. “Flagitious Idiosyncrasy in the Dilapidation”. They are an obscure grindcore band with all female members. They released one album in 2013 called Wallow.
2. “Gore.” . A more popular band. The singer is great at harsh vocals and she’s a great singer. They only have a handful of songs but they are worth checking out such as “Pray” and “Doomsday”. I haven’t listened to their newest song yet. (They only have 3 songs). You guys would probably like Gore more than the previous band.
She says "tonight we ride? We don't say today!" - YES we DO! :D :D
If you intend to do another female fronted metal reaction video, I want to suggest following:
Girlschool - Race with the devil
Therion - Via nocturna (live 2007)
Wendy o Wiliiams - I's my life
Joan Jett and The Blackhearts - I hate myself for loving you
L7 - Pretending we're dead
Arch enemy - The eagles flies alone
subscribed. reminded me of when I was first having my wife listen to my metal 🤘🏼
Woah, I was not expecting to see Albion on this list. If you're interested, the singer from Albion was in a band called Rakshasa, which WAS a folk metal band side project of the some members of Japanese symphonic black metal band, Ethereal Sin. I also recommend Japanese, neoclassical power metal band, Area51. Their music video "Nightmare" is on the Tubes, off their second most recent album. But their latest album (albeit 2014) is fantastic and the best album by far: "Judge The Joker".
Your wife needs more Nightwish and Peccatum in her life.
of course, of course my dyslexia self read that as pettacum.
Here are a few suggestions for part two:
Future Palace - Flames
Ad Infinitum - Outer Space
Red Handed Denial - Collector
Conquer Divide - Welcome2pradise
Dying Wish - Until Mourning Comes
Skarlett Riot - Underwater
The Anchor - Masterpiece
Kittie - Cut Throat
Gore. - Doomsday
Delain - Moth To A Flame
Stitched Up Heart - Immortal
Infected Rain - Never To Return
As Everything Unfolds - On The Inside
Goodnight Greatness - Raising Wolves
SeeYouSpaceCowboy - To The Dance Floor For Shelter
Butcher Babies - Sleeping With The Enemy
Beyond The Black - Lost In Forever
Drown This City - Stay Broken
In This Moment - The Purge
New Years Day - Malevolence
Straight Line Stitch - Black Viel
Once Human - Eye Of Chaos
breakk.away - Secret
Amber Town - Bloom
Eyes Set To Kill - Break
Forever Still - Breathe In Colours
Face Yourself - Grosse Begarre
Icon For Hire - Curse Or The Cure
iwrestledabearonce - Button It Up
Wake The Dead - With No Regrets
Abnormality - Curb Stomp
Blind Ivy - Apogee
Y'all should react to all the other amazing all female rock and metal bands from Japan. Band-Maid, Nemophila, Hanabie and Nek! are amazing, but there are many more. Rock isn't dead, it moved to Japan and changed gender. 🕊️
Also, The Warning out of Mexico.
Also, listen to Eleine and Moonlight Haze! Eleine is so good. Her name is Madeleine Liljestam, known as Eleine!
Have you never heard of The Warning? Three sisters from Monterrey, Mexico. This hard-rocking trio is the real deal. Check ‘em out,
There are a lot of female fronted or all female bands in Japan (JPop, JRock, JMetal and so on) a short selection for JMetal would be Hanabie, Nemophila, Doll$Boxx (Dolls Box), Unlucky Morpheus, STMLT (Stimulate), Bridear, KOIAI, HAGANE, Asterism (they started out as an Instrumental band but have added singing lately, so some songs have no vocals), Destrose (on hiatus), Mary's Blood (on hiatus), Lightbringer (on hiatus). If you expand the list to include JRock (Rock/Hard Rock) you can add Gacharic Spin (for a Rock band they can go surprisingly heavy, see "I Wish I"), Band-Maid, East of Eden, Lonessome_Blue, Nek! (Neki, the "!" is an upside down "i"). Some of those bands are related in interesting ways (past members, shared members, side projects, composers) there is 1 big family in the bands I listed: Destrose (at least a dozen bands including Lovebites, Nemophila, Albion, Mary's Blood, Lonesome_blue, Disqualia, Aldious, Fate Gear), and a bunch connected to the vocalist Fuki (Fuki Collective, Lightbringer, Unlucky Morpheus, Doll$Boxx which has very strong ties to Gacharic Spin). One thing I will say about the female Japanese bands is that they tend to be friends with each other (the women for women thing), you will see them at each others concerts, spending downtime together, supporting each other during emergencies and god help you if you piss them off (the Band-Maid song "Hate?" is about a cheating spouse of another singer). Edit: Oh and turn Closed Captions on, many of the Japanese bands know they have western audiences and have provided lyric translations.
For non-Japanese female fronted metal bands: Ankor, Face Yourself, Nightwish, Epica, and Arch Enemy.
As for your wife's comment about being a classically trained pianist and then switching to metal, that is more common in Japan than you would think the shining example is a Pianist/guitarist by the name of Miyako from Lovebites (a concert grade pianist turned master guitarist/composer) for stand out examples of her playing the piano see the songs "Swan Song (with Chopin intro)" and "Edge of the World" and her solo work "Eagle Fly Free (piano cover)" she has serious skills. Another known example is Kanami from Band-Maid (Hard Rock instead of Metal) again piano to guitarist/composer though there are less songs of her playing, she has said that she only listened to classical music until high school and that her favorite composer was Chopin. It is interesting that both Miyako and Kanami have a very similar path through life, classical education, serious piano skills, pick up guitar in their teens, serious guitar skills, both compose many of their respective bands songs.
YO BOY! THAT UMBRO GEAR IS SOMETHING!... YOU KNOW THAT I KNOW HOW YOU'RE GROOVING ABOUT!😆 AND ALL I CAN SAY IS: 100% RESPECT AND PLEASE!... Just do some Eurodance reacts! I dare you ma boy! 😁😆🤣
The charismatic voice (UA-cam channel) is going to start an research on metal screams and singing. The front of Jinjer is one of the 7 that is going through the procedure. It's going to be so interesting
Oathbreaker - Second Son Of R. (post-black metal)
Jucifer - Window (Where The Sea Falls Forever) (sludge metal/indie rock)
Windhand - Orchard (stoner doom metal)
Chelsea Wolfe - Iron Moon (doom metal/gothic rock)
After Forever - Transitory (power metal)
Nightwish - Wish I Had An Angel or Nemo (power metal)
Liturgy - Before I Knew The Truth or God Of Love (avant-garde black metal)
"i'm in danger" was the best edit xD
There are some truly fantastic female-fronted metal bands out there, from all sorts of different subgenres. Just off the top of my head:
Hiding From Myself by As Everything Unfolds (Progressive pop-Metal); Hologram or Detonate by HAWXX (Progressive Metal); Empire by Red Handed Denial (Progressive Metalcore); Katana by Inferiority Complex (Progressive Metalcore); Vibtech or OneManWolfPack by Marmozets (Mathcore); The Plague on Both of Your Houses by Blood Command (Deathpop/Hardcore); Off With Their Heads by ALT BLK ERA (Nu-Metal); Skin by Mallavora (Alt-Metal).
With the Japanese side, you also have DOLL$BOXX, BRIDEAR, and HANABIE (among many, many others)
And then you also get the stuff that is more on the rock side than metal, like RedHook, Vukovi, Dream State, etc.
Surprising no popular Symphonic Metal bands like Nightwish, Epica, within Temptation Delain. They are under the Power Metal sub genre so she night have heard them. Theres alot more amazing ladies that front metal bands in the comments. mexican hard rock band The Warning she would love.
Absolutely for The Warning, she would fall for them bigtime!
Now that you show her female frontend bands Nice to see you show her Arch enemy you should definitely have showed her handshake with hell, house of mirrors, the eagle flies alone, the world is yours, War eternal even the old stuff with Angela we will rise, nemesis and my apocalypse. But in my humble opinion you forgot to show her lacuna coil that are one of the greatest metal bands besides Arch enemy Christina scabbias voice is so beautiful and all their albums kicks ass especially comalies xx that whole album you should definitely show her another good bands you should show her as well is cellar darling with Black Moon and freeze. In this moment beautiful tragedy and as well as babymetal and of course another Japanese metal band ladybaby Nippon manju that song too is amazing love your channel man ❤
Will do man! Thanks for all of these! Appreciate you 👍
Dude! Japanese, female vocals, metal/hardcore-ish, has dynamics in their music, female plays an instrument, has clean singing, equals to Maximum the Hormone. Gotta bring them to the channel!
A less well known band that I really enjoy is Straight Line Stitch, especially the album When Skies Wash Ashore. A really punchy metalcore band
Japan is where it's at! Where's Band-Maid, Babymetal, Nemophìla, Hanabie, Fate Gear, STMLT, PASSCODE, Fruit Pochette, Doll$Boxx? That's where all the "girl power" is at. Not female fronted. FULL FEMALE LINEUP! "Men? We didn't need no stinking men!"😂😂😂
I'll be seeing Jinjer in October and Hanabie will be opening. Wanna hear a 4 foot nothing tiny Japanese girl growl like a beast? Considering what she said she likes I think these bands are really up her alley. Seriously you should check out Hanabie. One of the most fun bands you'll ever experience.
Oh yeah, and I'm seeing Lovebites next week in Dallas. 4 hour car ride, SO WORTH IT!
Be fair - Yukina is 4'10", not 4'0"!
I'm so happy you included Fleshwater! It makes sense to include them in a metal playlist. Even if they're more grunge/shoegaze/whatever, they all have ties to-and respect from-the hardcore and metal scene. I'd love to see Evelyn's reaction to Dying Wish. 🤘
Love the Alberta flag! Fun seeing UA-camrs from my home
She is adorable and I love how though it’s not her taste she appreciates it.
I love seeing Fleshwater get some love. Bought the album on vinyl and the only flaw is it's too short.
A few I didn't see listed : Plush, In this Moment.
Second votes for Nightwish, Delain and Within Temptation.
Stage diving in an integral element of hardcore scene. And if you know how to do it, it's safe, at least for the most part.
I remember watching The Charismatic Voice react to Kingdom by Devin Townsend, and her commenting on his intense scream faces. She said that what he was doing wasn’t difficult or painful, they were being used to add intensity to the performance. It’s always been jarring to me, watching Courtney’s calm demeanor while screaming. Another one that does that a lot is Maria Brink from In This Moment.
Tardigrade Inferno could fit right in this episode. For their quality of material they're criminally underrated.
And they're actually from my home city!
Some suggestions for metal bands to react to that I think she might find interesting:
Oceans of Slumber: I like Winter, but Cammie does some growling on Where Gods Fear to Speak so I think that could be cool
Draconian: Sorrow of Sophia. Have you given her any doom yet? :D
Nova Twins: Antagonist. Bit of a throwback to the early 2000s, but nobody really like them about at the moment.
Perchta: Hebamm. She has some incredibly expressive harsh vocals. Also a song about midwives!
Ulcerate: Stare Into Death and Be Still. Just because I want to hear you try to explain Ulcerate to her lol Long song so feel free to go shorter.
Avatarium: Boneflower. Very 70s singing approach, in my opinion.
That's probably too many but thought I'd throw some names in the ring. The one other I can think of is Devin Townsend, especially since he's Canadian.
Missed opertunity. Canadian born Alyssa White Glutz in Arch Enemy and side project with Nita Strauss Wolf you Feed. Floor Jansen with Nightwish has converted non metal heads to devoted metal heads since 2012 , anything from Wacken 2013 will do
Great channel .
Nightwish, In This Moment, Birthday Massacre, Lacuna Coil
6:25 the timbre of a lot of female vocalists reminds me of a banshee's wail...or maybe the shriek of a vengeful ghost. Dudes sound more like growling beasts.
please show her the warning. she said she wanna see full female fronted bands and the warning are literally 3 sisters and they're great
