Kittie

Kittie is without a doubt a top 3 of female metal bands. I wasn't a metal head. The problem was allot of metal didn't have any melody. Anytime a genre of music can sway a non-listener to another genre... They have strong validity in that genre. Morgan voice is beautiful and her Sister Mercedes plays as good as she looks... Femme joli.
I've listened to other female and male bands and I can't seemingly find another solid melodic band... I did manage to find Black Label Society.. But as far as female bands.. No competition...

Doro pesch is the goddess of metal and has good melody without sounding like a soapbox, and without too much screaming and grunting though she is the goddess of metal and can do all of them with ease. The person mentioning BLS and the like just need to be more open minded and dig deeper and not only be interested in the gothmelody soapbox type metal of which I see less metal more screamo which irritates me. Raise your horns to true metal! I pity the fool that don't know Kilmeister and Sweden.

But as an honorable mention, Kittie is a fairly decent band brushing along the genre of metal... And the person that mentioned BLS, Morgan and Mercedes did say "metal" and not "Heavy Metal". So in that analogy she was correct and accurate and honest and I'd trust her (? ) rating to a good degree. Enjoy Kittie, I will. Though I prefer the bitches of metal rro...

Kittie is far and away the best all female metal band in existence. Mercedes Lander is stiff competition for any drummer in the metal industry and in my opinion the glue that binds this band together. I don't mean to take away from the rest of the band. They are all extremely talented at what they do but through all the lineup changes over their career Merecedes is what keeps me listening and just keeps getting better.

I honestly don't even know how Evanescence got on this list not to mention the top of it. They aren't a metal band. Maybe there are some hints and nods at metal in their repertoir but overall just pop/rock. Greatly talented band and I love them but not metal.

A favorite of mine from like ten or so years ago when they played all the metal bars but weren't old enough to drink. Morgan sings so sweetly and when you least (or most) expect it lets loose with demon-tones, while her sister and drummer Mercedes is a true master (mistriss? ) of the double-kick. They're working hard this spring, after a trip to Oz, they have dates from 4/10 thru 5/25 with NO days off!

Love them. They deserve to be higher in the rankings. These women actually have metal sound and melody, not just death growls... Evanescence is a pretty girl with a pretty voice combined with what pop radio would call "rock. " Kittie will kick your ass and make you like it!

Kittie is an amazing band. The band manages to combine Morgan’s highly feminine clean vocals with her intense screaming nearly perfectly without ever feeling forced. Every album they put out is vastly different, showing progress from the last, yet manages to always maintain the core essence of the band. And on top of that, albums like Oracle, I’ve Failed You and in particular Until the End are some of my favorite albums of all time.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! They are probably the only metal all girl band that has been successful. I LOVE THEM!

Kitty is the only death metal band that scares me I love these women. And I've got to say if this is what when you get girl playing death metal I want more. Morgan voice is beautiful and her Sister Mercedes plays as good as she looks

In my opinion Kittie are hugely under-rated and underappreciated, for years they have been overlooked and ignored by metal fans purely because of their gender.

Kittie DOES deserve to be in the top 3. They are heavy, they have rasp in the scream and their music flows well. They were huge in their prime.
