I was just looking for Heavy Metal bands I came across this I'm a white guy and my wife is black I'm 51 and my wife is 53 and we have been married for 21 years and we have known each other for 30
Yess totally!!! May I interest you in: -Oceans of Slumber (I LOVE!!!) -Skunk Anansie -Judas Priestess -Bleed the pigs -Om Johari ...and not really metal but they are amazing you should check them out!! : -Arlo Parks -Tamara Weber-Fillion -Janine Jkuhl
I see what you're getting at dude but the other two are right, there's a lot of women in metal. Symphonic metal is teeming with female fronted bands. Then there's the obvious, Arch Enemy, Otep, In This Moment (for more of this sound, only a fair bit sexier), Lacuna Coil, the emerging Jinjer, Saviour have a female lead... Just a few places for you to mooch. And while you're at it, UNLEASH THE ARCHERS!
I've gotten individual braids like that multiple times in black orange and red together at waist length and them bitches hurt when you headbang!! Haha but I love them
Her vocals are almost too much too handle..those lows and HIGHS are unmatched by ANY female artist I have heard yet. Thank you Alexis, wish I would have found you sooner..♥️♥️♥️ -Bryant
This girl is a goddess. Don't you know Metal has no colors? This band is awesome. It takes some people some time to understand Metal, if ever. Just shut up, listen and enjoy
This is one of my favorite songs from Straight Line Stitch!!! It's straight up and to the point. I've had the pleasure of seeing and meeting Alexis twice. She comes off to be shy but is very down to earth. Excellent performer and beautiful woman gives me chills when I hear her voice!!!
All I can say is WOW. This is my first time listening to their music and I'm blown away. I've never heard of anything like this before. I used to listen to metal in high school but I strayed away over the years. It's changed so much.
@@lordreyna6924 She is an awesome person as well. Got to hang out with her years and years ago at a small bar in NC called Jesters Pub. She opened for Otep (I think? can't remember, it was so long ago). But, we sat and talked for like an hour that night. She is probably one of the coolest, most down to Earth people I think I've ever met. Managed to get an autographed poster and a kiss on the cheek that night. Wish like hell I could meet her again, but she probably doesn't remember some no body from a random bar a decade ago xD
That woman HAS AMAZING VOCALS!! I don't know many who can go from screamo to SINGING!! She is a GODDESS! YOU MUST ALL LOVE AND RESPECT THIS PHENOMENAL CREATURE!!!
Me and my black wife we are drunk as fuck off of a pint of pinnacle vodka both of us we love heavy metal rest my case good night we're about to pass out
Came back for this tune wonce discovery a few years after getting hooked on melissa cross vocal techs for fry screams to better front my band back in the day, Alexis kills! First time getting hooked on this tune was '09 and stayed in rotation past 2012 truuuust
I know that your comment is 11 years old, but yes, there are at least 3 others that I've found who can both sing and scream: Howard Jones (Killswitch Engage - i.e. "The End Of Heartache"), Phil Anselmo (Pantera - i.e. "Cemetery Gates"), and Tatiana Shmayluk (Jinjer - i.e. "Pisces").
Good god do I miss this. She was such an inspiration for me back in the day 🙏💪🥰 thanks for making me feel like I could do this genre even tho I'm a chick 💪🙏🤘🤘🤘
I discovered them around 2011 and have been listening to them every since. Although they are not a big mainstream band, I would definitely agree that they are underrated. Her voice is unique and the band sounds amazing! Wish they were still around 😢
korn74 because she said "reminds me" you said no, thats tell her what it reminds her of. now if you said "it doesnt remind me" that would be a different story.
You can absolutely have your opinion, but you need to let me have mine as well. Kind of hypocritical to tell me "no" on my opinion and then complain about yours.
I fucking love this band! I've always loved the... dunno how else to put it, R&B voice, but never been a big fan of actual R&B music. But she's got that voice, with a kick-ass band behind it, and she can growl like all hell. Amazing music.
Bro your late...there are 20 bans nom main stream that are "afro" metal. Stop seeing race. Metal has no colors all are welcome and save your race baiting for rap and other dumb music genres.
i just found out about this band, oh my god I am utterly stunned, I had goosebumps listening to this song, no exaggeration. I love everything about it, the guitars are amazing, cool tone to them, awesome drumming, the singer is fantastic, her death metal screams are sssooooooo good and her clean vocals are beautiful.
Yes!!!!I'm so pissed. I just heard about them last week cause someone knew I'm always dating black rocker chics so they told me I'd love her. So I looked her just to see what they were talking about but the whole group is dope.
got the pleasure to see and photograph these guys with war of ages a few months ago and might i say the live show is insane, and alexis is one of the most down to earth and kind front women around...
The way she swinging her head around with them box braids, when I get those done my head is tooooo heavy😂
Try lightweight weave. Some brands are specifically designed to be light
But honestly, doesn't that just make her even more of a fucking badass? Lol.
Seeing her do it in person was fucking badass
It can be done 😉🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
And her actual voice is so sweet and quiet. When I met her I was stunned.
she's so fucking pretty, like damn.
IKR? Lol
I'm white and my wife is black and love all Heavy Metal and classic rock also
@@scottwoodham7842both my boyfriend and I are into metalcore and deathcore 😊
This band kicked so much ass. I really wish they got the recognition they deserved!
Never heard of them until now. I agree, they should have been huge. Her voice is better than most metal chicks out here.
Its so sad ive been listening to them from the start so much missed opportunity
I was just looking for Heavy Metal bands I came across this I'm a white guy and my wife is black I'm 51 and my wife is 53 and we have been married for 21 years and we have known each other for 30
Awe! Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked my drumming!
Black women in metal...Yes. There needs to be more.
Yes indeed . Pls
Victor Gear fuck yeah
Yes
Yess totally!!! May I interest you in:
-Oceans of Slumber (I LOVE!!!)
-Skunk Anansie
-Judas Priestess
-Bleed the pigs
-Om Johari
...and not really metal but they are amazing you should check them out!! :
-Arlo Parks
-Tamara Weber-Fillion
-Janine Jkuhl
Yes please 🙏🏾
I did not know... there was more people like me😭🖤🖤
It's tough to find females in metal. It's tough to find black people in metal. It's almost unheard of to find a female, black FRONTWOMAN. \m/
Ur not looking. When we created the whole genre please go back and do a little research then u'll find what ur looking for...
There's way more females in metal than you think, A LOT
I see what you're getting at dude but the other two are right, there's a lot of women in metal.

You forgot about Expellow my beloved singer Mik
PRINCESA SAMIRA he’s specifically talking about black women. Which there is not a lot of in the metal scene
Yep some of us (Black Girls) like metal too \m/
:3 Yes. Yes we do. \m/
hell yeah
Yes music sees no color we all are one
Including my mother (:, probably the biggest reason why I listen to metal today.
Sure do 🤘🏽
GAWD, The way she whips her braids around. Like a fire goddess. I just. UGHHHHHHHHHH.
I've gotten individual braids like that multiple times in black orange and red together at waist length and them bitches hurt when you headbang!! Haha but I love them
Mine did too. You get used to it. ;)
It's called headbanging 😂
So badass
Yes
They are so underrated it pisses me off
+Rachel Forbes I agree
+Rachel Forbes No she's a badass. She's overrated in my opinion
chris phillips Wait, what?
I also agree!! Such a shame they didn't get the recognition they deserved!!
I think they used to be actually quite popular 2010-2012 . After that it was like they disappeared.
I cant believe I only found this now. This is amazing
Her vocals are almost too much too handle..those lows and HIGHS are unmatched by ANY female artist I have heard yet. Thank you Alexis, wish I would have found you sooner..♥️♥️♥️
-Bryant
Her vocal range is insane!
She's a doll baby
I love Alexis, she's just so adorable and great as a singer. Her talking though is so adorable and cute
This girl is a goddess. Don't you know Metal has no colors? This band is awesome. It takes some people some time to understand Metal, if ever. Just shut up, listen and enjoy
Rock and roll originated from black people anyways lol
Why is this even comment? Lol so confused
philly joe yaaas!!! Everything should be colourblind.
Umm... Scuse me sir. Metal is black. Blacker than the blackest black times infinity.
This is one of my favorite songs from Straight Line Stitch!!! It's straight up and to the point. I've had the pleasure of seeing and meeting Alexis twice. She comes off to be shy but is very down to earth. Excellent performer and beautiful woman gives me chills when I hear her voice!!!
Yvonne Burns is that copperas cove tx?
Beautiful Woman and kickass vocalist
I met her when she wasn't as famous and she put her arm around me for a picture :D!!!
Never, ever lose that picture
as a straight female, i must say; alexis brown is hot.
Aaren Brooks wifey material..
You'd do her.
She is beautiful
Have you amseen her live? Shes goddess quality
Lol Aaren girl
All I can say is WOW. This is my first time listening to their music and I'm blown away. I've never heard of anything like this before. I used to listen to metal in high school but I strayed away over the years. It's changed so much.
I would jam this out back in 2008 🤘
I remember that chorus would be stuck in my head for hours♥️
2019 recommendations has me here , now I shall spread the word ....
Edgar Sanchez same lol

We need more women like her
That woman HAS AMAZING VOCALS!! I don't know many who can go from screamo to SINGING!! She is a GODDESS! YOU MUST ALL LOVE AND RESPECT THIS PHENOMENAL CREATURE!!!
I've been showing my metal head daughter the band's I loved from back when, this band is great and I'm passing all the love I have for them to her.
I love this band so much, As a black girl who likes metal and rock and grew up getting teased about it, just seeing alexis makes me feel better
Me too
her voice is so soothing when she hits the cleans , deff. something new brought to metal
Luv this! Awesome band and Alexis is a beautiful vocalist!
Her vocals are vicious! Love it!
Got the privilege of seeing them live and meeting Alexis...It was epic.
I love seeing WOC in metal. Such joy. Alexis always kills it.
This music gave me chills. I haven't had this dealing with music in a while. New fan alert!
Wish they would come back awesome music.
Lex sounds exactly the same live. It's amazing. I was blown away by her stage presence and talent. These guys are just awesome.
this my first time listening but something told me her name was lex ngl
I love Alexis' vocals
Why do people keep pointing out her skin color, who fucking cares? she's more talented than all of us anyway
She's amazing. Haven't heard that kind of screaming quality since maria brink or Howard jones
This is def a whole lot better than some of the other metal bands that teens these days like. Plus she's good vocalist
Probably because they think the bands they like are metal. Even though they aren't.
i love them they're so underrated they're playing in long island today =D anyone who cant appreciate them must be stupid they're amazing
Maybe they don't care for a sub par band with an extremely good vocalist who must be tired from carrying them on her back.
Her melodic voice, and the screaming. Wow, just wow!! 💦
I miss Alexis her energy was so powerful. You couldn't help but mosh when she would spin her hair
Beautiful black chick in metal? FUCK YEAH! SHE KICKS ASS!
Not only are her growls and screams so fierce her melody is so beautiful man
Still on my playlist in 2022 🖤 I love you 😍🥰
💯 \m/
Love this chick. Crazy good vocals too. And she hot!👍
that ending growl gets me every time. fuck
Lexi is sweet as hell. Hung out with her at Groundzero in Spartanburg. Even met her family! She is so down to Earth!!
Just when you thought someone couldn't get any hotter, you see them live. I MEAN GHATDAMN!!!!
Me and my black wife we are drunk as fuck off of a pint of pinnacle vodka both of us we love heavy metal rest my case good night we're about to pass out
Omg ! , I lovee her voice
Black ppl....WE WILL NOT LOSE!!!...thEnd
***** Fuck off...that's what!!!
Lls
ASHL0TTE This made me shoot water out my nose, HA HA HA!
Llz
You already lost. Xaxaxa.
The way my neck hurts right now 😭 I still love this damn song.
After seeing this video hundreds of time I still find myself just amazed by her voice
This song still gives me chills
Came back for this tune wonce discovery a few years after getting hooked on melissa cross vocal techs for fry screams to better front my band back in the day, Alexis kills!
First time getting hooked on this tune was '09 and stayed in rotation past 2012 truuuust
Those pipes and that purple mane.... How could a metal fan not love this sweet ass ear candy!
Who’s watching in 2020?
sup
Are there any more than her?
I can't believe she was planning to R&B with the screams she has. This girl can Sing with the best of them.
I know that your comment is 11 years old, but yes, there are at least 3 others that I've found who can both sing and scream: Howard Jones (Killswitch Engage - i.e. "The End Of Heartache"), Phil Anselmo (Pantera - i.e. "Cemetery Gates"), and Tatiana Shmayluk (Jinjer - i.e. "Pisces").
This is my absolute favorite song from SLS!
Yoooo I've never seen it heard of her until today n I'm in love with the music n her!!!!
😍😍😍 Love them she's effin badass♥🎤
Bad ass. Purely. Want to see y'all live I'm in Nashville
Good god do I miss this. She was such an inspiration for me back in the day 🙏💪🥰 thanks for making me feel like I could do this genre even tho I'm a chick 💪🙏🤘🤘🤘
I discovered them around 2011 and have been listening to them every since. Although they are not a big mainstream band, I would definitely agree that they are underrated. Her voice is unique and the band sounds amazing! Wish they were still around 😢
Reminds me of Sevendust mixed with Mudvayne. I really dig it! MAD props for the female metal musicians!!!!!!!! \m/
Um no lol
I promise you, it does. Haha funny how you think you can have a say on my opinion.
Amanda Burkhart why arent i allowed to share my opinion if you can i can lol
korn74 because she said "reminds me" you said no, thats tell her what it reminds her of. now if you said "it doesnt remind me" that would be a different story.
You can absolutely have your opinion, but you need to let me have mine as well. Kind of hypocritical to tell me "no" on my opinion and then complain about yours.
"BUT I DONT CAAAARE.....WHAT'S IN YOUR UNDERWEAR....I WAS NEVER THEEERE"
Lmao....jkjkjkjk
Fuckin awesome band!

Chills down my spine!!!! I LOOOOOOOOOVE IT!!!! \m/
I love it already and it hasn't even started
Just discovered this band after binging Nightwish and Otep leately. And absolutely love this band!
Only if she could see how much credit she has gotten over the years when SLT first came out they didn’t have much fans but look now 🥺🖤🖤🖤
She is incredible!!
fucking hell... 1:40 is when shit got fucking real.
Still jamming to this in 2023
i'm in love... this girl cuts ur whole life in dreams in half
Such a great band. And Alexis Brown has so sweet voice. Plus she's totally gorgeous.
I fucking love this band! I've always loved the... dunno how else to put it, R&B voice, but never been a big fan of actual R&B music. But she's got that voice, with a kick-ass band behind it, and she can growl like all hell. Amazing music.
Damn I haven't listened to this song since like the 7th grade lol.
Holy fucking shit.... You know it's good when you get goose bumps on your face!!!!!
IN LOVE, NO OTHER EMOTIONS.
Finally a afro metal in the metal community
Bro your late...there are 20 bans nom main stream that are "afro" metal. Stop seeing race. Metal has no colors all are welcome and save your race baiting for rap and other dumb music genres.
I keep coming back every year 💕😭🔥🔥 miss lex miss this band
The moment I knew I liked black girls.
2:22 gets me every time
i love alexis so much

Isn't she wonderful
nora nishikawa She's the best. Hands down.
i just found out about this band, oh my god I am utterly stunned, I had goosebumps listening to this song, no exaggeration.

OMG. So good. Love her vocals. The music too.

Alexis Brown blows people like cardi b out of the water
I have loved this since I first heard a few years back. Def one to add to the permanent library. ;)
How am I just now coming across these guys. Puts a smile on my face.
"Pretend you're unaware."

I wish this band was still on tour
Love the red braids!!!!!! Love her voice...she so easily goes from soft to freakin screamin...no hestitation!!!!!!!!!!1
great band she is a banshee on the mic
Why has no one told me about Straight Line Stitch before now?! I think my sperm count doubled just listening to that.
Yes!!!!I'm so pissed. I just heard about them last week cause someone knew I'm always dating black rocker chics so they told me I'd love her. So I looked her just to see what they were talking about but the whole group is dope.
Literally in love with this song 😘🥰😘
got the pleasure to see and photograph these guys with war of ages a few months ago and might i say the live show is insane, and alexis is one of the most down to earth and kind front women around...
What is going on .... How did I get here ? *leaves quietly*
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
