Good list. And yes, while metal genres like symphonic metal or Gothic Metal have female vocals but most of these genres have male vocals.

I know about 10 all-female thrash metal bands but they aren't very popular. Also, there are several bands with both males and females.

3 Death Metal

I know it says usually, bit I'm going to just let it be known that the band Abnormality has a female vocalist. The elephant will have to go unnoticed for now.

4 Black Metal

True...I know only one Band with female vocals - Astarte, Which is the first all female black metal band...The female singer died of cancer in her 30s...

5 Speed Metal

I can't recall any speed metal song sung by a female while in thrash and death metal there are females (though it's not typical).
Speed Metal is an awesome subgenre.

6 Blackened Death Metal
7 Technical Death Metal
8 Technical Thrash Metal
9 Power Metal

Well the band "Battle Beast" has female vocals, and is mostly power metal

10 Classic Heavy Metal
The Contenders
11 Groove Metal
12 Folk Metal Folk metal is a fusion genre of heavy metal music and traditional folk music that developed in Europe during the 1990s.

I have noticed some folk metal songs are sung by two singers. Usually female singers do the clean vocals and male singers do the harsh vocals/growling.

But the first artist that comes to my mind is Eluveitie.

13 Deathcore
14 Nu Metal
15 Mathcore
16 Slam Death Metal/Core
17 Blackgaze
18 D-Beat
19 Grindcore
