| Yeah it's a fair 50/50 split when it comes to male/female vocalists, you guys are right. What an asshole to suggest that out of hundreds of thousands of metal bands, comparatively very few women have been vocalists. |

| His claim was that few women make great vocalists; a claim about quality, rather than proportions. |

I stand by that initial comment I made. If there were more decent female vocalists out there then I am confident we would see more of them. Sadly it seems that a band having a woman vocalist qualifies them as better from the off-set. That and it no question piques the interest of men.
Adorior's vocalist is absolutely an exception. There are of course other female vocalists who are very impressive with what they do, though nine times out of ten I am content in saying male vocalists will do a better job. Extreme metal is, when you tear down everything to the basics, primal and masculine. |

Körgull the Exterminator's vocalist is one of the best chick vocalists I've heard.

To add something as an aside here, lets look at two quick examples...
Derketa- talented, awesome metal band. 3/4ths of the band happen to have vaginas, something I don't think most of their fans even give a shit about.
Arch Enemy- "Whoa dude, a hot chick singer! Let's check this out! I'd totally fuck that bitch..."
That sums up the dynamics of "female fronted" metal bands, I think. The unfortunate thing is that a lot of bands naturally fall into the latter category (either intentionally or unintentionally), mostly because of mouthbreathing weirdo metal fans needing sex fantasies everywhere they look. |

I blame bros & fratculture for the objectifying of females in metal. Well I actually just blame bros & fratculture for everything. They do throw the best ragers though  And who says women can't be objects AND people? Fuck it, I love bros

At least someone was bumping this useless fucking thread, so you didn't have to make 17 more (again). |

Yeah; thanks a lot, that's really helped! Well done mate, you can go and give yourself a pat on the back...
Look, it is very simple. I'm sure there's plenty of "useful" threads for you in here to have your little "keyboard warrior" internet discussions so if you're not interested in this add or know somebody who could be don't bother reading it or posting replies to it and stop wasting my time... |
