Criticism can be considered sexist, unfortunately!
What is female metal all about? Rock, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal is all male and that is a fact…call me what you will. And if we only talk about metal…after having heard and watched everything from Diamondhead, Judas Priest, Motorhead to Metallica, Slayer, Testament, Anthrax, Annihilator, Exodus…what is it that will make me turn to female metal bands who are nothing more than poor caricatures of what genuine metal bands are all about and the truth is that all metal legends are male.
This is masculine music. Just by screaming and sounding like everything but women won’t make us accept you as a heavy metal band. There is no inspiration for me to go spend a dime to either buy a CD or a gig ticket. Yeah there are bands who are getting a female to front up in their drive to do something different but such gimmicks don’t help.
Sorry…can’t help where there ain’t any inspiration. And by the way…check out new male heavy metal bands…there is no contest. Opening for Exodus when they are pretty much done and dusted won’t help anyways.
Tough but am just being honest. I must know that I am hearing a woman when I am hearing one. Sounding like a man actually undermines the cause of a female band.
Metaladies – All Female Metal Bands All Female Metal Bands
