Dark Moor with their first 3 albums with Elisa is great.
Casual Conversation
Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Posting this here because the metal community seems to be entirely links to tracks and I'm not sure how well received this would be there.
All the users refrained from posting anything but links to tracks because the only users posting were just posting links to tracks and nobody wanted to make the first move.
The Iron Maidens
Just watched their live version of Number of the Beast. Very cool! Tribute bands aren't something I would normally listen to but I'm already an Iron Maiden fan and this just might be a cool way to give their tracks a fresh listen to.
Jinjer is at least fronted by a woman
Burning Witches is good
Nemophila
Second this band. These chicks rule.
Lambrini Girls, a little more political punk than metal. A little lighter than that but mannequin pussy when you're feeling a little more melodic
Bones UK, I dunno if they're a full female band but the two main ones are.
More garage rock than metal/punk but the Pack AD is a lot of fun.
Nemophila is an Asian all female band that fucking stomps.
Amaranthe is catchy as fuck melodic death metal with a female singer.
Hanzel und Gretyl is industrial rock that’s on the heavy side and has a female vocalist.
Jinjer is female fronted and heavy as fuck.
Maid of Ace is an all girl crossover thrash punk band. Scowl is good too for this.
Sumo Cyco is Canadian hard rock/heavy metal fronted by a chick who does the voice of Barbie in a bunch of animated Barbie movies.
The Warning
Could be slightly soft for your taste, a bit Hole-ish maybe, but I saw McQueen a couple of times (once supporting Mad Capsule Markets) and liked them since. Only one album sadly
'Neurotic' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaqTO4UwHMY
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McQueen_(band)
Synlakross is pretty decent but it's got both male and female vocals .
Castle Rat is a fantastic thrash metal band also (I think they're thrash. All the subgenres get confusing)
The Gathering. Older but still good
I don't think I've heard of In This Moment or Butcher Babies, I will check them out.
Meanwhile if you're not allergic to melodic BM, I really like Dämonik, example track: https://youtu.be/kRNHUFt8oPs So far they have two singles out and I believe they're working on an album. There is also old demo EP from 2018, but it's a little rough compared to these.
I'll try to check what else I've got that is all female / female fronted. I think there are a few more I like, but can't recall what atm
Oh dang this is right up my alley.
