Inspired by this post, I wanted to make a post asking about your favorite metal bands with women in them and maybe your favorite release from them too.

For me, that'd be Crypta. They're a Brazilian Death Metal band made up of only women. Their Shades of Sorrow album is absolutely incredible with some really mean vocals and great riffing.

I always liked this Faye Wong song. Not hard enough to be metal, but I think it's still edgy and kind of haunting.

Hmm, I always have a hard time picking favorites, but I've always enjoyed Halestorm! Pretty sure "can u see me in the dark?" has been pinned in the number one spot of my On Repeat playlist on Spotify for a couple of months now... Lzzy's vocals are fantastic in it!

Also, a couple of years ago Alex Reade joined Make Them Suffer, and I've been enjoying their latest album (also called Make Them Suffer), a few of the tracks from that album (Epitaph, Oscillator, Weaponized, and Small Town Syndrome) have also coincidentally been stuck in my On Repeat playlist for a while.

The coop with Dal Av is amazing!

Dark Castle - Surrender to All Life Beyond Form

Female-fronted stoner/sludge doom.

Saw them open for the almighty YOB back in 2011. Stevie Floyd is a badass.

I've heard of Dark Castle as Stevie Floyd is the now ex-wife of Jef Whitehead who's my favorite musician period. I haven't actually listened to any of their stuff though, maybe I should give them a try?

Do it, if you like sludgey riffing.

I saw the "Women in Metal" title and thought this would be a thread about women in trade jobs (i.e. metalworking).
