Metal with female vocals

The Gentle Storm project is pretty cool. Anneke does some different things on there, it's a much more raw performance for her overall I think, especially compared to what she does with Devin Townsend.

If you check it out though, ignore the "heavy" version.

They're from Portland, OR. Sadly I'm not sure what the status is with the band. The singer, Uta Plotkin left after that album :( But they've got 4 albums of brilliant doom metal to dig into at least!

Swiss all-female metal band Burning Witches releasing debut album soon. I don't like it, but I suppose YOU might do.

 
I was hoping for that to be good...but those vocals and production are just bad.

Also, interesting that an all female band would make a music video in which they are tied up and scared.
 
I don't think anyone's mentioned Dutch death metallers Acrostichon. Fairly average musically, but their vocallist Corinne delivers some really brutal sounds. Here's the opening track from their 1993 album Engraved in Black:


And a live video to see Corinne and friends in action:

 
This topic can't exist without the wonderful album Mana by symfonic/gothic metal band Nemesea with the wonderful Manda Ophuis on vocals. Today she left the band.
Dear friends and fans,
After a long period struggling with personal issues, it is with a heavy heart that I have decided to relinquish my dream to be a singer.
I will, therefor, no longer be a part of Nemesea.
Within the next couple of weeks the band will inform you about their future plans.
For now, I want to thank everyone who has supported the band and I in all the years we've been around. I have so many great memories that I will cherish forever.
Love,
Manda

The music on Mana (2004) is really good and she's one of the better singers out there. Whole album:

A few songs:

Later Nemesea went more poppy. This vid is from a few months ago (very difficult for me to watch since a daughter is dying in it). I wonder what they'll do without Manda.
