I'm looking for a metal band that plays technically, something like Dream Theater/Redemption/Zero Hour/Whatever, and has a female singer. So far the only one I've found is Atrox, who are good, although the super high pitched vibrato kinda gets on my nerves.

Any suggestions?

I suggest you stay away from female singers.

=(, but I really want to hear how it would sound.

I would definitely like to hear a band that plays like Zero Hour with a female singer! :shock:

What about Stream Of Passion,Arjen Anthony Lucassen's new band.I don't think they sound like Zero Hour but they do play prog metal and the lead singer is female.

Or you could try Ambeon, which is another Arjen project with female singer. The music is more like a mix of prog. rock and gothic, but if you want to listen female fronted metal, then you should listen gothic.

Ambeon and Stream Of Passion are both excellent, but neither are prog in any way.

Try Penumbra, although it is a gothic band it has some prog elements, and the chick singer rocks!

Try Scanner - Scantropolis.

Peccatum are a sort of avant-goth metal band with female vocals. Not really in the style of power-prog but on the other hand, they actually do progressive things unlike anything featuring Arjen..

Try Edenbridge, their debut album. Awesome female vocals, not that technical but melodic with plenty of prog elements.

AGHORA!

featuring Sean Malone and Sean Reinert (ex-Cynic). it's proggy, jazzy, and keeps a decent pace and "heaviness" throughout.

and as you'd expect, the music itself is great, even without a singer they'd be worth listening to.

For once,i have to agree with you!

Eyesore · **Posted:** Fri Jan 20, 2006 5:09 am

Yo, nood! Are you looking for a specific band? Like you've heard them and are trying to figure out who it is, or are you just looking for suggestions? Bands you may like?

I hate to disagree with you Eyesore but a lot of Lucassen's stuff is progressive he might not be fully prog but listen to SOP & Star One and you'll see some elements of prog in there.
