That's really the only female vocals in metal you've heard and don't think are bad?! Do you just have a general distaste for female vocals? There are plenty of metal bands with good female vocalists. Pick a subgenre and I could probably name quite a few bands.
For the most part, yeah. I usually do prefer male vocals. Though, why, I don't know. I do like Netta Skog though. She's in Ensiferum now and was previously in Turisas. The previous key board player Emmi Silvennoinen (ensiferum) didn't do mainly vocals, but did sing with the other members on occasion. I was actually able to see them perform before she left a couple years ago, at pagan fest. Best show I've been to.
Viking/folk; death; power; thrash; doom etc. I like most, but these are usually my preferred sub genres.
Ah, if it really is just a preference thing I guess I understand and I don't know think I could change your mind with any examples. Plus if you like power, folk, and doom you have probably heard some of the best lady throatists in metal unless you just outright avoid those type of bands. Here's just a few good ones off the top of my head just in case you haven't heard them.
Draconian (new singer is really good. I think I prefer her to the old singer)
Subrosa
Dalriada
Windhand
Christian Mistress
Aldious
Dark Castle
Midnattsol
Silent Stream of Godless Elegy
Light Bringer0 -
Dalriada was pretty decent, the melody/music was pretty sweet (a walesi bardok 1resz was my fav); Christian mistress reminds me of heart and the sword, which is a decent sound. Loved the music in dark castle's stuff, the deeper vocals were good, but in general didn't really do it for me.TheCrawlingChaos wrote: »TheCrawlingChaos wrote: »Not too bad.

Before now, I actually haven't heard of any of these bands. The two I mentioned above, I'll probably continue to listen to. They were pretty good in my opinion.

I can't believe no one (including me initially) has said Amon Amarth. I love 'em.3

Black Dahlia Murder anyone? I'm headed to see Slayer in two weeks!1

Older metal, sure. Metallica until the Black album, but the cut I heard off their upcoming album sounds promising. Anthrax came back with a bang with Worship Music and a couple of songs from their new For All Kings album have grabbed me. New Megadeth is great until Dave sings. Maiden, that sort of stuff. I can't get into the guttural 'singing' in some of today's metal.0

Metallica died when Cliff Burton died.
Also Lars Ulrich is the most boring drummer ever.

Amon Amarth, Sabaton, Killswitch Engage, Sonata Arctica, Arch Enemy, Edguy, Eluveitie, Korpiklaani, Sevendust... oh yes.1

He also wins several awards for Biggest *kitten* on the Planet.0 -
I love that all of the things the site could be censoring with *kitten* are appropriate descriptions of Lars!0

I like Newsted too. I mean, Justice was no Ride the Lightning, but it was still a pretty good album. Hammett probably still had some Mustaine inspired material during Justice but it's clear that wasn't the case with the Black album. And yeah, Lars goes to bed at night dreaming that he could be Charlie Benante.1 -
Justice was any good at all because it had some of Cliff's work on it, IMHO. I'm so not a fan of Dave Mustaine (dried up old drunk that found god and got even douchier) so it really can't be that for me.0

Metallica - Kill 'Em all is playing right now.
Might listen to a little Killswitch Engage next.0 -
by the way for those that use spotify there's an awsome old school death metal playlist on there with all the classics from Deicide, Morbid Angel and Cannibal Corpse etc, its always on in the gym or when im doing household *kitten*.. dishes and so on lol1

Your username makes me think of my favorite in flames song. Metaphor. Not super hard but I love it.
Saw In Flames in concert in 99, good, but made me sad (they lip synced)0 -

ajfa bass parts were washed out......so I don't even know how you could tell.born_of_fire74 wrote: »Justice was any good at all because it had some of Cliff's work on it, IMHO.

Mustaine is just horrible.......that's like talking about Trump. EEEEK.
Newsted is good and probably the only sane one in the bunch.....he played a hell of a bass and could actually sing...F&J was a good bad too back in the day. I don't blame Jason for leaving them.born_of_fire74 wrote: »Older metal, sure. Metallica until the Black album, but the cut I heard off their upcoming album sounds promising.

Lars has his moments but he's too glam at times......Charlie is pretty beast but they screwed up in my eyes of turning on Jon Bush.....Joey is good....but I'm not into 1980s singing and girly yelling. I'll be seeing them in a month so I hope they put on a good show.
and again mustaine is just ewwwwwwww he never played on an actually LP album with Metallica...lets not mention some of the garbage before Killem.
We'll have to disagree on Mustaine. His singing sucks balls, but I really like a lot of his guitar work and yes, he didn't play on any Metallica albums, he is credited on some of the earlier songs and Hammett has even stated that he learned a lot from Mustaine's earlier work with the band.0 -
Music is my life! Played in a heavy rock band for the last 16 years. Just brought an Orange Rockerverb Mark III (in black naturally) and it sounds mint!! Ma-hooosive sound that rips your face off!! Love playing Sabbath, Metallica and System through it, but love rocking up nasty songs by nasty bands that everyone knows. Always funny seeing hairy, scary, tattooed, pierced bikers singing their heart out to No Limit by 2 Unlimited!!1
