@jpm Scene Queen is a lot of fun. metalcore, lyrics focus on the misogyny in some of those scenes as well as fem/queer empowerment.
@jpm Within Temptation.
@jpm Magg Dylan
@jpm
Cwfen are my current favourite. Their album Sorrows is still in my daily rotation after 6 months.
Other bands worth listening to:
Bones of Minerva
Aara
Asagraum
Emasculator
Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard (aka MWWB)
Rolo Tomassi
@jpm Dark Oath (PT)
Aephanemer (FR)
Jinjer (UA),
Natural Spirit (UA)
Infected Rain (MD)
Black Spikes (LT)
@jpm I'll skip over the more obvious choices I see in the replies (Arch Enemy, Unleash The Archers, Spiritbox, Jinger)
I am quite the fan of all female Japanese Power Metal group LOVEBITES.
Julie Christmas is incredible, tho tending a bit towards noisy art rock. Fantastic album 'Mariner' with Cult Of Luna.
Chelsea Wolfe does a bunch of amazing work, including collaborations with Thou and Converge.
There are a lot of great bands TBH.
Thank you for all the replies so far, keep them coming!
@jpm Gin Wigmore – not metal, but definitely a lot of hard rock in her catalog.
@jpm If you like Poppy, you're surely already aware of Spiritbox, but just in case no one's told you about them either, I highly recommend. Courtney LaPlante is one of my absolute favorite vocalists.
For something a little different and lesser known, I'd suggest Aephanemer from France.
@jpm
(Scrolling through my liked songs...)
Lyriel (String Quartet metal)
Ad Infinitum
Sirenia (Latin Chant metal)
Minniva
Cellar Darling (Hurdy Gurdy metal)
Ankor
Amaranthe
Eluveite
Battle Beast
Nightwish (Operatic metal)
Babymetal
Halestorm
@jpm been enjoying Tower lately. Lowen are not bad either.
@jpm
If you like Hardcore you can do worse than listening to Walls Of Jericho
@jpm
You didn't ask.
Also, "New Way Out" is a total banger.
