Only a sexist would think that.

I think we're progressive enough to not call out certain metal bands for specifically having male singers. Jeez Per...
It is if you think about it. Depends if you think 'female fronted' counts as a sub-genre. Most seem to be symphonic and could justifiably go in a thread for that.
I think that if female singers just watched the video I posted and changed their behaviour appropriately, then Maidenfans threads would treat them equally and there wouldn't be any more sexism towards them.

To be honest, you have point. Perhaps these bands do not have enough appeal seperately (out here) to get enough feedback/attention. I do think that some of these bands deserve their own topic (actually, there is an Epica thread somewhere).
I was always just too lazy to open new thread for them all 
It worked out so far IMO.

To me, "female-fronted metal" is a genre. There's an element to the sounds of these bands you don't get elsewhere. The sound of the female voice is different from most metal and worthy of discussion. Not saying we couldn't have other threads about these bands too, but I've personally never thought about these bands in a sexist or gender context.

I've tried to post links here with bands that has female singer but doesn't lump together with all the symphonic metal bands....

That's an incredibly bad album name. Still excited, though!
Also, here's the album cover:
Kind of nondescript. Reminds me a bit of DT's Train of Thought.

I speak English grammar not.
If you consider "Forms Most Beautiful" as an entire subject, it could be correct. If it's Endless Forms, Most Beautiful...then that makes no fucking sense. Seriously, are they trying to out-Sabaton Sabaton here?
How can "Forms Most Beautiful" be an entire subject? That in itself already makes no sense.
The way I get it, "forms" is supposed to be a verb here, "endless" is the subject and "most beautiful" an adjective. The problem is, "endless" does not work as a noun (if anything, they should use "eternity"), and the object is missing. What does it form? Gah!
