Women in Metal

[CatfishJones]

what are your opinions on women in the metal genres?

[Dimmu Burger]

Light This City is the shiznit. There are a lot of female singers in Goth Rock/Metal bands and they all can sing very well, but its pretty boring IMO. Otep is wierd. Arch Enemy owns. Wicked Wisdom is a joke. The end.

[RetiredAt21]

Nuclear Death!

[CatfishJones]

i personally am not a fan of metal bands with women in them. im not sexist or anything, but theres just something about about it that makes me not like a band because of it.

[Dimmu Burger]

Nuclear Death!

Do you have any?

i personally am not a fan of metal bands with women in them. im not sexist or anything, but theres just something about about it that makes me not like a band because of it.

What band have you heard that you ended up not liking because of that?

[CatfishJones]

What band have you heard that you ended up not liking because of that?

well, its happened with a few bands, but when i heard that All that remain's bass player was a women, i liked that a lot less(i didnt like them that much to begin with).

[jrowa001]

In This Moment, her screams are kinda bad but her singing voice is great. Arch Enemy owns, Walls of Jericho are ok, lacuna coil used to be good. female vocals dont really bother me in metal. i dont like the female gothic vocals that much though. chicks in indie/folk bands kinda bore me

[CatfishJones]

chicks in indie/folk bands kinda bore me

thats the thing. i dislike women in metal, but i like women in indie. weird huh?

[Stormrider]

well, its happened with a few bands, but when i heard that All that remain's bass player was a women, i liked that a lot less(i didnt like them that much to begin with).

So let's say you actually do like a band, but then you find out one of the members is a woman, you won't like them as much ?

[jrowa001]

its only the vocals that bother me, like when sufjan stevens or the decemberists add female vocals it sometimes bugs me. their vocals arent bad i just can enjoy it. but in metal i like female clean vocals a lot (except for in goth metal like i said). if a female plays in instrument, thats kick ***

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Metal is a vehicle for men to show off how big their **** is, of course females need not be included.

Except for Angela Gossow, she might even have something on Dargon.

srsly

[deadinholywood]

Alissa White-Gluz the singer from The Agonist kills she is like the female Mikael Akerfeldt

[CatfishJones]

So let's say you actually do like a band, but then you find out one of the members is a woman, you won't like them as much ?

well i usually know if theres a women in the band before i get into them. but yeah, something about there being a women in the band turns me off from them.

[RetiredAt21]

Women in indie are annoying. I want to punch Tegan And Sara in the face.

[Dimmu Burger]

I forgot about Draconian. I love them because its not just female vocals. Its also deep death growls from the male vocalist. They own.

[RetiredAt21]

I'm sure they do.

:rolleyes:

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

quit being useless and explain why indie chicks make you mad.

[sr800bkBassist]

Women in indie are annoying. I want to punch Tegan And Sara in the face.

please don't call that indie. those girls are just annoying trend-jumpers.

[knuckleduster]

Alkonost's vocals are great.

[Eliminator]

Most female vocals are ruined by the band.

Example: Aghora.

[Shred Danson]

Women in metal try to act the part way too much, in my opinion.

Examples: Otep, Arch Enemy, Warface (I think that's the name I can't ****in' remember)

[Anglachel]

Women should not be in my manly ****ing metal


PERIOD

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Most female vocals are ruined by the band.

Example: Aghora.

Formless rules, quit smoking drugs!

[Mother]

I Dont mind women in metal .. some bands i like some i dont.

[Eliminator]

Formless rules, quit smoking drugs!

The heavy parts are so lame. It's just a bunch of pointless, over-produced chugging. Her vocals and the clean sections are good though.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I actually enjoy quite a few of the heavy parts. It's nothing new at all, but there's some pretty tech stuff going on, something I rarely dig.

[Lunch]

btw Jake I literally just listened to that Pirate Ship Quintet EP you sent me like three years ago, it was good.

[Bartender]

I don't really care one way or the other, so long as they can do whatever they're doing, and do it well.

Bolt Thrower and Boris, for example, are both excellent. Vocals would be the only sticking point for me, I think (and with exceptions, obviously; The River spring to mind).

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Ah yes, Wata is a sex icon, but Boris didn't spring to mind when I thought of metal, heh. Good call nonetheless.

[CatfishJones]

Women in metal try to act the part way too much, in my opinion.

Examples: Otep, Arch Enemy, Warface (I think that's the name I can't ****in' remember)

this is basically how i feel. women try way too hard to fit into the genre, so they end up just being extremely macho/dyke looking. i just dont feel that they are being truthful to themselves or their fans by even being in a metal band.

[Riva]

So you like pretty girls, which is why you prefer girls in indie?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

indie girlies are usually cute.

[Riva]

That's what I'm sayin'. I should probably change the thread title to "Women In Metal: A Misogynist's View".

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

they make better contributions to indie anyways.

joanna newsom vs any metal hoe

joanna wins

[Riva]

Her child-like voice and unique style of harping is enough to make any indie elitist go gaga.

[Det_Nosnip]

Most female vocals are ruined by the band.

Example: Aghora.

...Except Aghora's self titled, which was awesome. :) I agree about Formless, although TBH I didn't really like her vocals, either. That band sorta blows without Malone.

Anyways, there are quite alot of female metal vocalists that I like alot more than male vocalists. IMO the soprano (or mezzo) range that alot of women in metal have sounds about 100x better sung by a woman than a man. The vocals are the main reason why I can't stand most male-fronted power metal bands...it just sounds cheesy. Someone like Floor Jansen could easily blow any of those castrati pansies out of the water. There are a few decent male metal vocalists who sing high...Dickinson, Russell Allen, etc...but most of them suck. Why so many pig-headed metalheads fail to recognize this and say that women shouldn't be in metal is beyond me.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

well just in case you're being foolishly sarcastic, my point is this- Females make a much greater contribution to what we're calling indie than females in metal. Typically in metal, it seems like the girl is there just as a gimmick(yes, vocals are a gimmick tbh), whereas there are a lot of female led groups that would fall under the indie umbrella.

and indie girlies are cute and not obese with black fingernail polish and fishnet tops.

[Det_Nosnip]

Actually, no. The "gimmick" wore off years ago...the only people who see it as a gimmick are those who aren't exposed to it. Women have been in metal for years...

Either way, I really don't see your point, Jake. What does pretentious indie music have to do with women in metal? The thread topic wasn't "what do you think of women in any genre of music ever formed," nor was it "who has the bigger ****, metal or indie?" It was "what do you think of women in metal?"

Stay on topic.

[Permanent Solution]

and indie girlies are cute and not obese with black fingernail polish and fishnet tops.
most important point made itt so far.

[Eliminator]

I approve of Jake in this thread.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Ted, quit being such a faggot about being on topic, jesus christ. I was still bring up women in metal, and look at the thread title, ITS WOMEN IN ****ING METAL.

My opinion on women in metal is that they are less important to the genre than they are in indie. Is it a crime to bring other genres into this thread? If so, I might as well leave before if you choose to be a prude about that rule, then this forum is more laughable than I thought.

[DJTeeLay]

Well, there have been numerous excellent, heavy metal bands with females on instruments.

I'm not too thrilled about the idea of females doing anything but clean vocals, however.
While some girls can compare to men at a brutal vocal style (in bands such as Bloodlined Caligraphy, and NOT Wicked Wisdom), but overall I just like the sound of females attempting vocals that aren't clean.

Sorry if that's sexist, but it's my opinion.

[Eliminator]

I'd like to see Janet Reno bust out some gutterals.

[CatfishJones]

That's what I'm sayin'. I should probably change the thread title to "Women In Metal: A Misogynist's View".

please do, because thats basically what it is. :)

[cometuesday]

Joanna Newsom is god awful. Let us not entertain any notion that she is otherwise.
But, for the topic at hand, I don't see why it matters. If a band doesn't sound good, they aren't doing something right, regardless of what set of genitals are present.

edit: not to mention I would prefer any female growling fifty straight minutes through an album than to see another 80 pound frontchick in some Flyleaf wannabe band find their way onto the radio so they can claim to be hardcore just because the guitarist found their way to the right side of his distortion pedal and stuck with it because that merits metal. /rant

[Eliminator]

Where do you live in Ohio?

[Det_Nosnip]

Ted, quit being such a large bundle of sticks about being on topic, jesus christ. I was still bring up women in metal, and look at the thread title, ITS WOMEN IN ****ING METAL.
You were talking about indie music for no reason!

My opinion on women in metal is that they are less important to the genre than they are in indie.
...And my point is that your point is irrelevant to this thread. :) That would be like you talking about saxophones in indie music and me coming in and saying that saxophones are more important in jazz...or me talking about clarinets in jazz and you coming in and pointing out how the clarinet has a longer standing position in classical/orchestral music.


Is it a crime to bring other genres into this thread? If so, I might as well leave before if you choose to be a prude about that rule, then this forum is more laughable than I thought.

It's a crime when it's done solely for the purpose of being inane!

[Shattered_Future]

We all know how I feel about women in metal.

[Eliminator]

Yeah, you gotta have some self-respect.

[RetiredAt21]

Nuclear Death is the best one mentioned thus far.

[cometuesday]

Where do you live in Ohio?

The middle.

[RetiredAt21]

Does anyone else wanna fight Tegan and Sara?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Dude aren't they lesbians?

[RetiredAt21]

Even more of a reason to punch them both in the face. And they're both ugly.

[Det_Nosnip]

Why is being a lesbian reason to be punched in the face? :confused:

If you don't like these women, why don't you just...ignore them?

[Anglachel]

Why is being a lesbian reason to be punched in the face? :confused:

You missed the fact that they are ugly

[AA-12]

I can't believe i'm posting this.

Thanks to <33333, a girl has convinced me that female led metal is good and i'm willing to check some out again for the hell of it. Recommendations?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Dude Ted quit derailing the thread, you might get yourself chastised.

And I'm curious. Are there any relatively famous females that have written metal? I can't really think of any.

[Det_Nosnip]

I can't believe i'm posting this.

Thanks to <33333, a girl has convinced me that female led metal is good and i'm willing to check some out again for the hell of it. Recommendations?

You might like Tristania's "Beyond the Veil."

[AA-12]

I'll check it out. Thanks man :)

[Deathcrush]

There are no women worthy of having a place in metal.

Metal is about drinking a beer, throwing the empty bottle at a woman's face and throwing your colossal balls around. Hail Satan.

That's gatta be the most metal thing i've ever heard deathcrush... cheers! |,,|,

[Det_Nosnip]

I'll check it out. Thanks man :)

No problem. :)

[Turkish]

Beyond the Veil is really good, so is Widow's Weeds as well.

[Shattered_Future]

I don't like Tristiania much at all. They bore me to tears, especially since Velad left.

[Shadows Within]

I don't like Tristiania much at all. They bore me to tears, especially since Velad left.

i think the only one i like by them is heretique, i just the video on youtube wasnt bad quality.

went to ozzfest this weekend and i gotta say...in the moment is the shittiest female fronted bad ever, but chthonic whas pretty good, there bassist was quite hot and the guy playing the Erhu would sit like a statue and look her *** the entire set.

thai people are awsome.

[i am the robots]

Women, nature's punching bag.

[Det_Nosnip]

I don't like Tristiania much at all. They bore me to tears, especially since Velad left.

Well, since Velad left, they're a completely different band and not worth listening to at all. I still contend that Beyond the Veil is one of the best goth metal albums of all time, though.

[Turkish]

I don't like Tristiania much at all. They bore me to tears, especially since Velad left.

They're newer material isn't that great, but I love their older stuff.

[Musical_Nerd]

Hm. You guys are forgetting Unexpect and Gorod.

[Eliminator]

theyre both terrible

[Shadows Within]

lol check this **** out!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6F9aJuHJE80

it would be a decent song with guitars or bass.

good idea though.

:lol: how cheesy is that?

a cappella epic power metal?

[Shadows Within]

lol pretty much dead on decription.

every time i hear it i want to get my fried and to some guitar and bass tracks and keyboard tracks just to see how it would sound.

[Invicta_Veritas]

You just made possibly the most ignorant, ridiculous, prejudiced, retarded statement I have ever heard.

[philly96]

Julie Kiss from To-mera is pretty hawt and good at singing.

[i am the robots]

Laura from Light This City is elite.

[Shattered_Future]

I don't like her.

Rather, I don't like the band around her. She's actually not too terrible.

[Shadows Within]

man i got a game called two worlds yesterday and its got a sweet symphonic metal-ish song on it with this operatic singer who really good, she should have been the new singer for nightwish.

[i am the robots]

I don't like her.

Rather, I don't like the band around her. She's actually not too terrible.

Light This City is awesome if you truly appreciate all that is standard to melodic death... most people think it's lame as hell and only like the stand out bands, but I'm in love with what is generic about the genre, as well as the unique things.

Plus Laura's hot as hell.

[Eliminator]

the only hot woman in metal is Eliminator

[i am the robots]

Yes, Nicholas.

[Det_Nosnip]

You just made possibly the most ignorant, ridiculous, prejudiced, retarded statement I have ever heard.

I dunno, if I wanted generic melodic death metal, I'd go listen to Insomnium. Light This City just bore me.

I've been listening to The Gathering more and more, and I realized that Anneke has such a terrific voice. It goes perfectly with their music. AND she's quite the looker.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I am honestly not huge on The Gathering, but her duet with Garm on A Life All Mine is ill.

[Deathcrush]

You just made possibly the most ignorant, ridiculous, prejudiced, retarded statement I have ever heard.

You are hilariously clueless, it's almost unbelievable.

Get a grip, really. :-/

EDIT: Nah, I'll let you live in your little fantasy world where nothing really makes sense to you and sarcasm is nonexistent.

Yeah, I really believe that heavy metal is about throwing an empty beer bottle at a woman's face; and and then continuing to chuck my balls around, before finishing the whole event off with some Satan hailing.

Infact I am so affirmed in this believe that I even ignore great bands like Electric Wizard just because they have a female member.

It's all entirely true.

[Dimmu Burger]

Well said.

[Shattered_Future]

Electric Wizard has a female member?!

[Dimmu Burger]

Electric Wizard has a female member?!

Their guitar player Liz is married to the singer.

[illpressureurhinges1]

Julie Kiss from To-mera is pretty hawt and good at singing.

To-Mera is pretty tight. and Julie has some pretty good pipes.

[Shattered_Future]

Their guitar player Liz is married to the singer.

Wow...never knew that. Sweet.

[illpressureurhinges1]

ive never ever heard of Electric Wizard... where are they from?

[Shattered_Future]

They're English. Stoner metal of the most stoned kind of all.

[illpressureurhinges1]

ahhh... not exactly my cup of tea, but ill check them out anyway

[Dimmu Burger]

They're English. Stoner metal of the most stoned kind of all.

Yes indeed. Very stoned.

[illpressureurhinges1]

Yes indeed. Very stoned.

seriously... i looked at their myspace. and every other line talks about them being stoned or some sort of reference to drug use.

[Dimmu Burger]

seriously... i looked at their myspace. and every other line talks about them being stoned or some sort of reference to drug use.

I was referring to the music, but that makes sense.

[illpressureurhinges1]

I was referring to the music, but that makes sense.

well the music sounds like it was made while they were stoned. so im sure the always being on drugs and hallucinagines had something to do with the sound.

[Dimmu Burger]

well the music sounds like it was made while they were stoned. so im sure the always being on drugs and hallucinagines had something to do with the sound.

It sure sounds like it. And since I can't listen to it unless I'm on drugs and I don't do drugs, I don't really listen to it, lol.

[illpressureurhinges1]

same here... thats y i said earlier stoner metal is not my cup of tea

[Dimmu Burger]

same here... thats y i said earlier stoner metal is not my cup of tea

I'm starting to realize that myself. I wanted to give it a real try, and I think I have. Ah well. There's always the other 500 sub genre's of metal.

[illpressureurhinges1]

yah... and then another like 250 made up ones. like Nintendo-core!

[Dimmu Burger]

yah... and then another like 250 made up ones. like Nintendo-core!

What do you mean? Nintendo-core includes like 100s of bands! Unlike Sega-core!

[illpressureurhinges1]

well ive only heard of a few bands under Nintendo core. but i havent heard of Sega core. whos in Sega-core?

[Dimmu Burger]

well ive only heard of a few bands under Nintendo core. but i havent heard of Sega core. whos in Sega-core?

I dunno. I just made it up. :thumb:

[illpressureurhinges1]

o. thanx... well im sure there is some band somewhere that calls themselves Sega-core, so u probly didnt actually make it up

[Dimmu Burger]

o. thanx... well im sure there is some band somewhere that calls themselves Sega-core, so u probly didnt actually make it up

It wouldn't suprise me.

[illpressureurhinges1]

me neither... along with all the other stupid @$$ sub-genres in metal.

[Dimmu Burger]

My old band tried out about 3 females for our vocalist position before I ended up doing it myself. It didn't go well. But one of them ended up marrying a friend of mine!

[Riva]

So do you just sing really high or something?

[ATM]

Hahah

[Dimmu Burger]

So do you just sing really high or something?

I sing like Incubus high, which isn't really high lol. But I did a lot of black and death metal vocals as well.

[renegademonk]

Angela from Arch Enemy kicks ****ing ***.

[Invicta_Veritas]

You are hilariously clueless, it's almost unbelievable.

Get a grip, really. :-/

It tends to be very difficult to detect your sarcasm at times. But whatever.

[Luc214]

Has anyone mentioned Julie from Battle Of Mice and Made Out Of Babies yet? Not strictly metal, but she's by far my favorite female vocalist the best I've heard imo.

There's nothing quite like her voice.

[illpressureurhinges1]

anyone like In This Moment's Maria Brink?

[Shadows Within]

just saw them at ozzfest...they...where pretty terrible.

[Shattered_Future]

Has anyone mentioned Julie from Battle Of Mice and Made Out Of Babies yet? Not strictly metal, but she's by far my favorite female vocalist the best I've heard imo.

There's nothing quite like her voice.

Yeah, I could sing random crap too.

[Luc214]

Yeah, I could sing random crap too.

I don't see how lyrics have any relevance on vocal talent.

[Shattered_Future]

I was talking more about the vocal talent. From what I've heard of her, it's just her kind of screeching on and on over some music.

[JuggerKnoT]

women should not be in metal





metal should be in them :evil:

[Luc214]

Hmmm well her work in Made Out Of Babies does at times seem random and I think that she improvises some of it. Admittedly it's not her best work. But her performance in Battle Of Mice is nothing short of brilliant.

[JuggerKnoT]

yeah neither is Master Of Puppets it even has aclassical solo

[Meatplow]

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=85332422

[Luc214]

yeah neither is Master Of Puppets it even has aclassical solo

What?

And Metallica sucks.

[JuggerKnoT]

What?

And Metallica sucks.

classical solo then a fast solo

metallica is the best band of all time they never releasde a bad album they r all classics

[Luc214]

That's what they want you to think.

[JuggerKnoT]

That's what they want you to think.

Ummmm I own evwery metallica cd album ever and dvd they arent trying to be something there not. Just becauese they cut there hair dosent mean you shouldent like them they are metal again

[Luc214]

I never said they're trying to be something they're not.

Indeed, they never tried to be something they're not.

No offense to any of the female metal singers, but most of them don't sound good to me.

You need some After Forever in your life then.

I really like the new heavy gothic style stuff with operatic female vocals and some growls like Sirenia,Orpanage,Trail Of Tears,Leaves Eyes and a little known Russian band I reviewed named The Aerium,about as "operatic" metal as you can get.Blame me ,its my fault,I asked for this stuff silently a long time ago and lo and behold along comes Celtic Frost with sultry kind of vox on a couple of tracks and then Paradise Lost with actual operatic vox.IMO these women sound totally cool behind heavy riffs,especially doom style music.

Sirenia is awesome, just got done listening to An Elixir for Existence album, so amazing.

[Shattered_Future]

I don't really like them that much. I find them to be extremely boring.

[sabbath in solitude]

Been told I need to check out Epica,have you heard the Leaves Eyes,the track"Ocean" is IMO heavy freakin metal as art.I want to get a hold of some Tristania,heard one track on a comp years ago and liked it.

[Turkish]

anything off of Beyond the Veil and Widow's Weeds is really good

love the songs December Elegy, My Lost Lenore, Heretique, Beyond the Veil and ...Of Ruins and Red Nightfall.

[Shadows Within]

eh epica's ok but i still like her work better with kamelot.

[Otisbum]

Has anyone heard of / listened to Deadlock?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

DethKlok is badass, hell yeah.

[Otisbum]

DethKlok is badass, hell yeah. Agreed, but I was talking about Deadlock. :)

and his (Mark Jansen) with After Forever. Epica is boring as hell for me, but Prison of Desire/Decipher era AF is some of my favorite stuff in the genre.

[Shattered_Future]

Epica's new album has some decent stuff on it. The rest is boring, however.

[Luc214]

I really like Consign to Oblivion.

[sabbath in solitude]

eh epica's ok but i still like her work better with kamelot.Whats the story on that, I'm not really that picky.My criteria is heavy riffs with female vocals, and preferably with some growls,but thats negotiable.

[Det_Nosnip]

They need to get off of movie soundtracks...all of them. It gives alot of those bands a very "samey" quality, particularly regarding their orchestrations. I feel like Symphony X has the same problem. Compare that to some of the stuff that Ihsahn has done with Emperor, even 10 years ago...no contest. :)

[Jondur]

Been listening to a Norwegian band called Triosphere quite a bit. Proggy Power metal with female Vox. It's good stuff from a genre which usally makes me vomit.

And obviously I quite like The River too.

[Luc214]

Here's another simply outstanding female vocalist, Monika Edvardsen formerly of Atrox.

[crazyman]

i think female vocalists in metal are absolutely horrendous

[Luc214]

I think your opinion is absolutely horrendous.

[crazyman]

That's fine but i'm still allowed to have one, no?

[Dark_Hero]

Arch Enemy. That's about it.

[masterchaos]

The Great Katt. funny stuff

I liked Oteps vocals on Sevas Tra. She Sounds ****ing pissed its awesome

[philly96]

Virgin Black has decent female vocals.

[pleetf]

ok i need some help here.. i want to get nightwish's new album and i've got a friend who's going to germany in october.. i believe he can get it for me but i need to know what are the major music stores where he can get the album! any germans here who can help?

[Luc214]

Um, just download it or buy it online?

[Shattered_Future]

Do they have Virgin Megastores in Germany?

I dunno, I'm assuming any CD store that stocks some metal albums is bound to have Nightwish albums.

[Det_Nosnip]

Yeah, no need to make your friend buy it. I bought my copy of Once at Best Buy, for christ's sake. :rolleyes:

[pleetf]

Yeah, no need to make your friend buy it. I bought my copy of Once at Best Buy, for christ's sake. :rolleyes:

if you stay in the US of course.. if you stay in the middle of the straits of malacca any friends going overseas are greeaattt assets :) i know its pretty sad down here.. i've got to get about 85% of my music imported..

[subsonic]

As far as female vocals go, I'm cool with it... but there's something thats been bothering me about it recently. For one thing, it seems like a really big trend to have a female vocalist, and really, to me it just seems like a way to grab horny, sexually-deprived young boys attention. Like, "Oh, this band's singer is so hot! I'm gonna check 'em out!" I don't know... when it comes to "Hottest Chicks In Metal Tour" I just see it as a nice little package that easily digestible for starving-for-chicks bandwagon jumpers. What's next? "The Coolest Hair In Metal Tour"?

female fronted bands are cool.. somehow they just add that extra flavour and texture into the music.. esp with beauty and the beast singing.. it just adds another dimension to the music..

what i dont understand are bands that are neither female fronted nor all-female. Instead they have themselves a female drummer/ keyboardist.. those seem to serve no purpose at all other than to draw the horny crowd..

[philly96]

I slightly agree with that statement however, I think people just come to the conclusion too quickly that its just to pull in the horny children. They may have been picked due to their playing and sex shouldnt really play a part. I know that it does and it cant be changed but people should judge them on the music not just what they look like. Stage presences plays a part in how they are interpreted and having a female member could be good for the exposure and stuff.

[Iron Bars]

.. esp with beauty and the beast singing..

I heard this term for the first time last week and thought what will they think of next.

Accept when their actually good at playing their instuments. Who cares if someone is male or female. The bassplayer for Bolt Thrower has been a woman for as long as the band has existed (about 20 year or more), she certainly wasn't chosen for her looks (not that she's a world class bassplayer either) but she does fit the band. So why would they take a man instead?

Chthonic's female bassist also sings. The Funeral Pyre's keyboardist is good. Gorod's female drummer kicks ***.

Don't forget D'Arcy!
