This is kind of a guest post, a sharing – with permission – of a list of female-fronted metal bands that Decibel<\/i> magazine can’t seem to bother talking about. It was assembled specifically in response to both an older article ranking bands, and a more recent idiotic article claiming that “social justice warriors” are destroying the underground metal scene. (Other metal magazines and websites are not impressed either<\/a>. See also<\/a>.)<\/p>\n
