Some of this is more punk or pop-punk.

To add to this already awesome list
- The Gits
- Bad Cop Bad Cop
- Amyl and the Sniffers
Missing babes in Toyland here
Birthday Massacre, Within Temptation, Lacuna Coil, Eths, Infected Rain, Amaranthe
Amaranthe's awesome. My workout playlist is mostly them.
Check out Unleash The Archers
Fuck yeah this is cool. We actually need more female vocalists doing the old school falsetto style (although not really falsetto in this case, I guess).
Spirit Box, Rolo Tomassi, Cellar Darling.
Poppy, more her new music than old. Some people don't like her style but it's not strictly just hard metal.

Spiritbox and Conquer Divide!

If you're willing to go more the punk route, look into the riot grrl genre. Sleater-Kinney is a good starting point.
I have dabbled in Riotgrrl. I enjoy Bikini Kill but more in an 'appreciation of history' kind of way than in a 'my new favourite thing' kind of way. Really liking the sound of Sleater-Kinney here though. Just listened to the track 'Jumpers' and I'll definitely be listening to more. Thanks for the suggestion. Might even start a new topic specifically about Riotgrrl one of these days. Also starting to get a bit bored of my current punk selection.

Since i haven't seen it here and it's one of my favourite bands: iwrestledabearonce
I love Myrkur's stuff. How heavy it is varies widely from album to album, anywhere from straight traditional Danish folk music to the lighter end of black metal, but I like both ends of that spectrum
There's also Feminazgul, who I'm not super keen on but their name is so good that they deserve a mention anyway
Cloud Rat
Holy shit, this is wild. I like. A lot. Definitely introducing this to my rotation of music, thanks!
Glad to hear! They have a pretty big discography now, all worth checking out. Though I think my fave will always be the album Qliphoth.
Female fronted, Halestorm
All female, Kittie
Calva Louise is also good. The music videos are crazy cool
Brothers of Metal (despite the name). If you're into symphonic stuff, Epica and Beyond the Black are worth looking into. I also love Halestorm, but I think they're somwhere between hard rock and heavy metal.
So female fronted metal is my jam. Your examples have a solid range, but here's some of my picks:
- After Forever
- Beyond the Black
- Ad Infinitum
- Delain
- Within Temptation
- Unsun
- Cellar Darling (and earlier Eluveitie if you don't mind male and female singers mixing)
- Amaranthe
- Stream of Passion
- Illumishade
- Lacuna Coil
- Leaves' Eyes
- The Murder of My Sweet
You'll find a ton of female fronted bands in what (I think) is referred to as "scandi-metal) (Sacndinavian Metal).
The Warning
Posting this here because the metal community seems to be entirely links to tracks and I'm not sure how well received this would be there.
All the users refrained from posting anything but links to tracks because the only users posting were just posting links to tracks and nobody wanted to make the first move.
More garage rock than metal/punk but the Pack AD is a lot of fun.
Burning Witches is good
Arkona, Kontrust, Genitorturers. All from quite different subgenres.
This is not exactly my kind of music but I just wanted to say how cool this whole thread is.. you’re all amazing
Nobro is pretty good, they toured a bunch with Billy Talent so if you like that flavour of garage punk they might be up your alley
Blackbriar, Unleash the archers, Ad Infinitum, Spiritbox, Amaranthe
The Gathering. Older but still good
I don't think I've heard of In This Moment or Butcher Babies, I will check them out.
Meanwhile if you're not allergic to melodic BM, I really like Dämonik, example track: https://youtu.be/kRNHUFt8oPs So far they have two singles out and I believe they're working on an album. There is also old demo EP from 2018, but it's a little rough compared to these.
I'll try to check what else I've got that is all female / female fronted. I think there are a few more I like, but can't recall what atm
Bones UK, I dunno if they're a full female band but the two main ones are.
Lambrini Girls, a little more political punk than metal. A little lighter than that but mannequin pussy when you're feeling a little more melodic
Jinjer is at least fronted by a woman
