[Band Request] Metal (Or Metal Adjacent) bands with female, queer, and/or persons of color as members
5 days ago by Appie Elomekra to c/metal
need more diversity. Tired of seeing cishet white males
EDIT: Here's what we know:
Baby metal, kittie, Halestorm, linkin park, shadows fall, sleep token. Thats a few i can think of off the top of my head.
Edit: paramore, sepultura
Lots of choice in the Japanese scene: Lovebites, Nemophila, Hanabie, Broken by the Scream, Neon Oni, 88kasyo junrei, Maximum the Hormone.
Other non-western bands: Myrath, Bloodywood, Asterism, Dead Pioneers.
Western bands: Arch Enemy, The Agonist, Epica, Within Temptation, Eths, Blue Medusa, Melissa Bonny, Wargasm (UK), Die Spitz, Scene Queen, Lambrini Girls.
Also, Dragonforce now has two female band members and one from Hong Kong.
If you search the internet for terms like "female fronted metal" and "African metal" you'll find lots of bands.
Also, Youtube is really good for discovering bands like this because the thumbnails will often show you the band members. Just look up a niche band and start clicking all the recommendations.
Babymetal are really good, by the way. They've used a lot of different subgenres for their songs and they often mix things up in a fun way.
Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza. Animals as Leaders. Employed to Serve. Heriot. Cerebral Bore. Chepang. Made out of Babies/Julie Christmas. Escuela Grind. Agoraphobic Nosebleed. fluoride. Human Leather. Pupil Slicer.
Probably a lot more. But I am tired. YMMV.
Otep and Zeal & Ardor come to mind. You could also call some of the stuff Ho99o9 do metal adjacent.
Edit: Oh, and Skindred of course. I also keep confusing Opeth and Otep.
Some power and symphonic metal bands with women:
-Battle Beast
-Brothers of Metal
-Temperance
-Nightwish
-Ignea
-Amaranthe
I'm having a harder time coming up with non-white, though that might be because I don't keep track of band members. I'll have to check out the other responses later.
oceans of slumber is a great start
roman candle, brutus, delta hate, oceano, entheos, filth
Entheos rules.
Before the band Brutus that is fronted by a woman, there was a different band called Brutus that is pretty solid: https://youtu.be/mFiK9sjIlmA?is=dbGoqofPcWnD3KCm
One of my favorites hasn't been mentioned. Or at least I didn't see it.
All female Brazilian band. I don't know or care about their sexuality.
Ruby the Hatchet, Castle Rat, Messa, Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard, Year of the Cobra
Faith No More's Roddy Bottum is gay and their song Be Aggressive is about sucking cock.
Transgressive has one album but it slaps
Saving this for later.

Gothic/heavy metal band Sonja has a transfem frontwoman. Their debut LP Loud Arriver had a fantastic focus on her vocals.
Alice Simard and her projects are pretty interesting. I was absolutely blown away by her productivity when I found out about her through a Bandcamp article. The article, Metal Archives
Bad Brains
Black Moth
God Forbid
Blackwater Holylight
I can recommend:
Judas priest, animals as leaders, Dream Theater, even Metallica.
Two smaller bands I've seen locally you may want to look up are 'Pryma' (female fronted) and 'Lesbian Bed Death' mainly female members only one dude.
@lemmy.world
Metal community, all subgenres welcome.
It only seemed fitting to have Lemmy himself as the icon.
Other Communities:
