All About The Metal

Top 10 Metal Bands With Female Leads

 Well, I recently found this video, which was made by, of all people, MsMojo. I tend to avoid MsMojo, its parent channel WatchMojo and whatever other Mojo channels there are in existence as much as possible. However, when I saw this one, I felt compelled to watch just to see who they included. 

 I'm including the video above, but if you can't be bothered to actually watch it (I don't blame you), this is it: 

1. Nightwish 

2. Arch Enemy 

3. Within Temptation 

4. Evanescence 

5. Otep

6. Lacuna Coil 

7. Epica 

8. Walls of Jericho 

9. Girlschool 

10. Halestorm

Honorable Mentions 

Akoma 

Babymetal 

Eyes Set to Kill

Jinjer 

The Agonist 

I do understand why they included the bands the included, but here are my thoughts on it: 

-I do agree with Nightwish being No. 1 and Lacuna Coil at No. 6  

-I'm glad Epica was included, but I would have put them a lot higher than 7th place 

-I'm pretty sure Halestorm and Evanescence are technically rock bands, not metal, so I don't know what either of them are doing here 

-I personally am not a fan of Within Temptation, Arch Enemy or The Agonist (Sharon, Angela and Alissa are all awesome, though), so none of them would be in my tops 

-I have never heard of Girlschool, Walls of Jericho or Eyes Set to Kill and I have no interest in any of them 

-I have actually heard of Otep, Akoma, Babymetal and Jinjer. I might look into Akoma and Jinjer because they sound like bands I would like 

 After this, I wrote down my own list of my personal top ten favorite metal bands with female leads along with five honorable mentions as they did in the video:

1. Nightwish 

2. Epica 

3. The Dark Element 

4. Amaranthe 

5. Tristania 

6. Lacuna Coil 

7. Sirenia 

8. Dark Sarah 

9. Elis 

10. Coronatus

Honorable Mentions 

Exit Eden 

Leaves' Eyes 

After Forever 

Trees of Eternity 

Imperia

 There's how they differ. Feel free to share your own top ten, and we shall compare.
