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.

Looking for suggestions of female fronted / all women heavy music (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

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. Also, I'm open to anything that goes more on the punk rock side of things. I like a little punk in my metal and a little metal in my punk (which is very subjective anyway).

Basically as the title says. I'm bored of my current selection of heavy music and looking for new stuff. To per-emptively get ahead of these answers: yes, I've heard Kittie, Nightwish and Arch Enemy before (actually haven't listened to Kittie since the nu metal days and maybe I should check them out again).

Two bands that I have found in recent years that I absolutely love are:

In This Moment. They started out as pretty much straight metalcore but have a noticeable evolution with each album, to the point that the most recent album sounds like this. Evolution is something I appreciate in a band.

Butcher Babies. Just straight up chaotic. And good shit. And they're even named after an old school punk song. Chaos and attitude is something I also appreciate in a band. Pity that one of the vocalists left though, having two vocalists was something that really set them apart.

Any other suggestions?

Edit: wasn't expecting so many great suggestions here. I promise I'll make my way through each post and suggestion here but it's going to take time. In the mean time, thanks everyone. At this rate I'm going to have more than enough new (to me) stuff to listen to.

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.

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

Hanabie

Especially this live performance and their album from 2021 has some real bangers.

War on Women is a group I really like from Baltimore. feminist punk metal. https://waronwomen.bandcamp.com/track/white-lies

[–] gothic_lemons@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Loved War on Women but they are tainted for me personally after I read this. https://lambgoat.com/news/35416/ex-war-on-women-guitarist-nancy-hornburg-speaks-out-against-band/

Noooooooooooooooooo! Aw man.

Animal Alpha - Bundy is a favorite I return to every now and then. I don’t know the rest of their music

[–] gothic_lemons@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Loved this song on while playing burnout

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

Not sure about the genre but I recently discovered Blackwater Holylight and I quite like them

No one mentioned iwrestledabearonce yet, so a toss out if that. Rad metalcore band from when metalcore was rad. For (much) less metal/more punk or riot grrl vibes check out Amyl and the Sniffers and Be Your Own PET. Don’t come at me if I used genre names wrong with those.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Spiritbox has been mentioned elsewhere in the comments, but I'm not sure how common knowledge it is that they were started by former iwrestledabearonce members.

If you like death and a more extreme sound you have to listen to Crypta. All female band and they are honestly one of the best out there. Impeccable riffs, drums and singing.

Entheos!

Brutus. Stefanie Mannaerts is the lead Singer and drummer. Simultaneously! She is absolutely amazing and has so much power in her Voice. My favorite Band of 2025.

So female fronted metal is my jam. Your examples have a solid range, but here's some of my picks:

After Forever
Beyond the Black
Ad Infinitum
Delain
Within Temptation
Unsun
Cellar Darling (and earlier Eluveitie if you don't mind male and female singers mixing)
Amaranthe
Stream of Passion
Illumishade
Lacuna Coil
Leaves' Eyes
The Murder of My Sweet

You'll find a ton of female fronted bands in what (I think) is referred to as "scandi-metal) (Sacndinavian Metal).

I only have a passing interest in metal, but I heard about this Indonesian Muslim all-female metal trio (Voice of Baceprot) a while back and was impressed when I watched the videos of them playing. It's trippy to see them wearing hijabs and all while kicking ass playing metal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6v4728NJ7B8
