My favorite 'obscure' choice would be Myrthe van Beest from Magion (http://www.magionband.com/).
And then there's of course Carmen Elise Espenæs from Midnattsol / Savn.

well they're fine too,lovely nice voices, yet not so impressive,not even a bit of their own traits in the vocals in my opinion, thanks for suggestions anyhow.

Are you going to add yourself too? =P

sigh... I wish I could.
I'm not good... but I could be good... if only I had just a drop of chance...
anyhow! Who knows maybe some day

I made my list on female vocalists 2 years back here and by looking your inclusions, I think mine will be tremendously shadowed.

I gotta tell you, all those "known queens" sounds terrific and amazing. They deserved to be in it.

ok but read the introdution This is not about the typical stars of metal scene otherwise I should have added Cristina Scabbia too who is my own fav among those too hyped queens of metal

Written by Erik M. on 17.09.2013 at 18:17

Because she left Tristania and she doesn't sing anymore as far I remember she's a vocal coach now and I hate to add Tristania here while I know there is no Viebeke there and at the same time we all already know that everyone likes Vibeke, everyone praises her vocals, she has good vocals, performance,let's have more adventure in finding more new vocalists which are quite good but they're not really hyped that much.
Anita is not active anymore and as far I know there were some shows that she failed, I personally noticed that in spite of her beautiful voice she's not a very good vocalist very average, however I enjoy The Sins of Thy Beloved music, but I can't add her as a talented one to this list,I really can't spot on any of her skills as a spectacular one.

Liv has the same story of Tarja,Simone and Vibeke, ok I know, they're awesome, skilled,they have great performance and etc,we already had enough of them,their bands are always hyped

I even had doubts about Floor and Anneke, in comparison with those very known ones,these two have more outstanding vocals,their range,their skills in switching the styles and even songwriting let alone that their voices is outstanding enough, not just a typical soprano doing vocals for a gothic band,especially Floor.It's really easy to be beautiful and to be a soprano and get easily deals of attention and to be simply known

I still disagree about not including some great well-known vocalists. What exactly is the harm of doing so? Having those on the list makes the list more interesting for people who aren't into metal with female vocals. But it's your list, so your choice.

Also, whether they are now active or not shouldn't be an issue at all if you ask me. And any vocalist can have a bad show once in a while, so I wouldn't judge them on that (maybe I'm being too mild though ). How is Anita an average vocalist while you think her voice is beautiful? That being said, I agree Floor and Anneke are definitely better vocalists. Lastly, good to see you added Marcel's suggestion (Fear of God), which I checked out because it's 1 of his 5 10/10's on MS. And I must say it's an awesome and unique album, it being (gothic) thrash with female vocals.

Tarja, the former Nightwish vocalist and Simone Simmons from Epica first come to mind for me, I'm actually a bit surprised you don't have them on here already. But good picks otherwise

Never expected you to like the music of Tarja and Simone (by the way, it's "Simons", not "Simmons"! ), but I do agree with you about them. I saw Epica live early 2012 and her vocals were definitely good, just what you'd expect (so nothing spectacular).

Hmmm, I don't agree with all of your choices on that list but most of them are indeed great. Sadly you're still missing quite a few essential female vocalists (like the ones I mentioned here), in my opinion.

no harm actually but we heard of them enough

the thing is that Tristania is still active with another vocalist and Vibeke doesn't do any vocals in the scene at all.

It's really great album with an amazing vocalist I'm so amazed by that

Ahhh, but we can't be underground black metal elitists all the time, now can we?
I have pretty high standards when it comes to metal because of all the obscure, mindfuckingly creative shit that's my preference, but that's not to say I don't enjoy and recognize the talents of some more mainstream acts too

My list wasn't much presented in wide range and only restricted to top 10( with special appearance of "Fabregassed" now known as "Snake, Snaaaaaaake?". If in top 10 you like "some of them", i think i made the justice.

I like that you placed the Madder Mortem lady on top. She's one of the best I've ever heard. And the Arkona lady, you just cant deny she's good

Anyway, I dont know half of the other bands in the list, will be checking them out over time.

How about Kimberly Goss (Sinergy, Ancient, session work with Warmen), Ruby Roque (Witchbreed, The Project Hate MCMXCIX), Christine Davis (Christian Mistress) and Ihriel (Peccatum, Star Of Ash probably doesn't count)? Or the singers from Monarch and MurkRat? Or Brittany Paige from Kobra And The Lotus (if you only count the 1st album's vocals) Oh, and Runhild Gammalsaeter from Thorr's Hammer (That's an impressive sound from a16 year old, boy or girl).
Good to see Onielar and Sabina Classen get a mention. How come no one's mentioned Doro Pesch yet?

I've been meaning to do a list like this for a while but never got round to it. Now you've beaten me to the first list of female metal vocalists that doesn't include a certain German vegetarian that shan't be named.

you mean the ugly one who looks like a tranny, but one that couldn't pay for a good operation, and who once did guest vocals for Carcass at Hellfest during their reuinon tour because she was banging a certain guitarist from that band? i.e. the single most overrated female extreme metal vocalist

I like most of the women named/listed here ... Sabrina Valentine from Seven Kingdoms is also pretty good , check out their latest album if you had the time. ( it's Power Metal ... but it's good ! )

well, I am, and having read somewhere that she is a vegetarian I am pretty sure MC Vise is talking about her as well, especially since she Always seems to pop up on most talented female vocalists threads.

It's been a long times since the last time THAT I listened to Sinergy or Peccatum,and since you mentioned them here,I'm gonna check them out again, thanks for the other ones which I must hear them for the first time,and oh about Ruby from The Project Hate MCMXCIX I should say that I don't really think that she's really that talented or spectacular, at first I added her but then removed her because in that case I should add many other ones which I myself like them more but they're at the same level in my opinion nothing special to mark as a certain talent or skill in them I think,so I won't add them as well as Ruby from The Project Hate MCMXCIX.

Yeah I personally love Classen so much.And I thought of Doro too, but again I think she's not really nor underrated neither talented or special vocalist.


hehe I really like that German vegetarian she's really inspirational and I admire her personality so much just because we already heard of her enough and there are vocalists far better than her nowadays, I didn't add her to this list.

Doro is talented and she was one of the first heavy metal female vocalists out there, the Warlock albums were nice; some of her solo stuff is pretty great as well.

she might have been an early female metal vocalist (let's not forget about Girlschool, Rock Goddess, Plasmatics, Vixen (the one with Kim LaChance) who were all earlier) but she is nothing great, though, and also not talented, i'd say, and what annoys me most is her her extremely heavy German accent (btw that also annoys me about Scorpions' Klaus Meine and Trance's Lothar Antoni). But Doro's best vocal work is definitely on the Burning The Witches album, which is also the only really good album she ever released (both with Warlock or solo)

Exactly my thoughts, if I add her then I should add Girlschool, Vixen subsequently,which all of them have really nothing special regarding their vocalist,hmm it's just they were pioneers,she's fine again but no talented in my opinion but her accent isn't annoying(as a side note,same story about scorpion's front man his accent isn't annoying either I think ),what I consider is her style of voice,skills and innovations.

btw I think I am talking about a different Vixen than you I am talking about the one from Hawaii where Marty Friedman played in until 1982. So not the Vixen whcih became popular later on which was an all female band.
