Metal with female vocals

The song is about The Great Fire of London in 1666. The lyrics are written from the perspective of the element of Fire, threatening Londoners to wipe them out, but the song is also about hope. Even in the darkest of times, the sun will rise.

(@Cornfed Hick : this is Anneke's new band, thought you'd be interested)
 
Not sure if I'd really call this metal, but here's a new side project by Anette Olzon formally of Nightwish:


I quite like it, though the production is way too keyboard heavy.
 
Hmm . . . Not bad, not bad at all. Wasn't especially promising to begin with, but improved as the song progressed; ditto on the overused keys.
 
Damn that new Vuur album is good. I expected something similar to The Gentle Storm since it's the same people minus Arjen, but it's different. It has next to no keyboards and is much less folky/happy. I would say it's a combo of The Gentle Storm and Epica/Mayan, just without death metal leanings.

Best song from it IMO:


This one also has quite cool guitars:


And also the two songs posted above are cool :)

To be honest, no. Despite the talent of these individuals I am not that overwhelmed by the catchiness of the material I did hear. Did check the ones you posted here! I miss some good grabbing melody I guess. The sound is pretty good!
 
Only one album, but this is some pretty killer speed/power metal from Canadian band Messiah Force with Lynn Renaud on the vocals

 
I know this doesn't seem to go with the general vibe of the bands of this topic - but I've seen these awesome ladies kill in Brooklyn like a million times at this point.


Heavy sludge with actually good growls:


Also, Chelsea Wolfe keeps putting out some incredible stuff. Some Kyuss vibes here
