[@Majiger]

Only problem is, just like J-Rock/Pop, the bands are manufactured more often than not. So after the first wave of bands, the music will end up sounding the same/formulaic.

[@michaelafrancis1361]

@@Majiger This is a myth. In point of fact Japanese rock and metal bands form pretty much as organically as they do in the west. Take a band like Destrose whose long list of former members went on to form a whole new family of bands. In fact the music scene is pretty close knit in Japan and many band members have close ties to other bands which makes for a great deal of intermingling and collaboration. The myth that these bands are somehow corporately "manufactured" is usually perpetrated by gate keeper old metal heads who think you can't be "real" metal unless you sound and look like an industrial accident in somebody's garage. They somehow seem intimidated by the high level technical musicianship and professional showmanship that is typical of Japanese bands and think it must be made by some faceless guy in a suit.

[@Majiger]

@@michaelafrancis1361 It isn't a myth, please look a little closer at the Japanese music industry. While independent bands exist, the primary bands that are advertised with big productions are, by and large, owned by some corporation or another. That doesn't mean bands like Destrose don't exist, they are simply not the norm. No one mentioned anything, what is "real" or isn't. I'm simply stating that the first wave of a type of music is generally the most independent of industry fingers. Once something pops off, it is heavily monetized by the Japanese music industry. That's not even mentioning how Visual-Kei has dipped into elements of metal for years but was never considered metal due to probably Western bias towards more aggressive sounds.

[@Mischnikvideos]

I don't like the term female fronted because there are too many of them. But there are only a few American ones and only they think it's so exotic. The video with the most reaction videos is Ghost Love Score by Nightwish. Then come Viceos by BTS and Babymetal. In the 1960s/70s, British and US pop music was very popular. Because it is also the common language for Europeans as a whole, it has remained popular to this day. Many people can understand an English text, but only a few can understand an Estonian one. And the language sounds familiar to everyone. A text in German sounds controversial because not every country has had good experiences with Germany. The change from growls/screams to normal is not difficult. These are techniques that you can practice and then it works reflexively. Octave jumps are more difficult in my opinion because it is harder to get the tension right. Fans on stage are difficult. If something happens, the band can be held responsible. The fans can also become aggressive towards the band. With small bands, not much happens, but the more prominent a band is, the more fans there are, the more crazy people there are. At some point it becomes too difficult.

Great to see people reacting to such things. (this is not any slight towards you, just want to point out some things, some are common misconceptions) 1:51 Probably the most reacted to is: Babymetal, but in the past the distribution company took down a lot of reactions (common for Japanese companies in the past, Japan has no fair use exception so they can just do that), but people have been reacting to them since at least 2014/2015. And still getting multiple reactions per day and Babymetal's Gimme Choco MV is getting closer to 200 million views now. That said, I would not recommend to listen to that as a first reaction, unless you want to shock factor. Why not something like: Ijime,Dame,Zettai at Sonisphere, 2014, UK. I'm certain some could say Babymetal isn't metal, let's say the music is metal music. Metal music in Japan used to be a lot bigger (X-Japan era, etc. if you want to checkout women from that era: Show-Ya, they even existed a few years before X-Japan and are still active), I wouldn't say it's big now in Japan (just like rock and metal where more popular in the past in the west), what we are seeing is more Japanese bands finding ways to the western market, especially KZbin, etc. I do think things have slowly improved, the current wave was started by Babymetal. But Japan still has only 1 regular big metal festival, which has a hard time filling a 20 000 people stadium for 2 days (Bring Me The Horizon and Babymetal both have organized their own festivals at the same venue as well, for the first time, we don't know if this will return, a venue Babymetal by themselves sell out regularly),. While in Europe (a population almost 6 times as large), we got a whole bunch of festivals which are 80 000+ at a single stage at a festival with a lot more stages. So sure for Asia, yes, Japan is probably the top country. 22:00 the culture of singing is different for sure, vocal coaches regularly ignore a part of the vocal range very much taught in the west (I've read about this in the past, but I'm no expert so I forgot the name of the part of the range).

[@AldoGuerraALDO-METAL]

Excellent its on the list for the next one!

[@the_hetman]

The Warning are amazing (I’ve seen them live 3 times) but they are at the heavier end of classic/alt rock rather than metal. Their heaviest songs do move into metal, “Sharks” has a very Nu metal vibe and they did a great version of “Enter Sandman” for the Metallica Blacklist album.

[@ClavisRa]

@@the_hetman Depends on what one means by "metal". For a channel that features Iron Maiden, they are as metal as them or Black Sabbath or even Metallica ever were. If you mean contemporary sub-categories of metal, there are many "heavier", if how aggressive and dense the sound is what matters to one.

[@the_hetman]

I don’t disagree, at least in a historical context. The metal bands from the 70s and 80s weren’t as heavy as those that have come later, but metal has become redefined in more recent decades and I was mostly saying that The Warning doesn’t fit that newer definition. The band doesn’t define themselves as metal which is why I prefer to say that they are at the heavier end of classic rock.

[@ClavisRa]

I can suggest a couple female fronted bands such as: 1. “Flagitious Idiosyncrasy in the Dilapidation”. They are an obscure grindcore band with all female members. They released one album in 2013 called Wallow. 2. “Gore.” . A more popular band. The singer is great at harsh vocals and she’s a great singer. They only have a handful of songs but they are worth checking out such as “Pray” and “Doomsday”. I haven’t listened to their newest song yet. (They only have 3 songs).

Was hoping Ankor - Prisoner. Listened to that song a lot over the last month. The last quarter of the song kicks ass. Drums are great. Please consider for next video.

[@siebensunden]

Such a missed opportunity which turned to reaction to normie female fronted metal. Where the hell are Crisis with Karyn Crisis? She is absolute queen of female vocals in extreme music. Her current solo project is also finebut she shined mostly in Crisis. My other suggestions are: - Health Hazard (UK) extreme hardcore punk - After the Bombs (Canada) metal crust in the way of Sacrelige - third world planet "World Waste" demo era (Canada) great hardcore grind - Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult (Germany) black metal, Onielar not only does vocals but she also plays guitar. She is also vocalist for the last two Bethlehem albums. - Thorr's Hammer (USA) the vocalist Runhild is actually from Norway and she was seventeen when she recorded material with the band. Absolutely insane vocals! - Society Gang R@pe (Sweden) Swedish type of käng punk spiced with a pinch of death metal and grindcore as well - Aghora (USA) their first selftitled album is very approachable technical/fusion metal with clean vocals - Recusant (UK and France if not mistaken) great avantgarde anarcho punk with various not so metal and punk instruments - Kittie (USA) all girl modern metal band Evelyn likes bands from Japan? Here we go: - Melt Banana - mixture of many styles but always hectic and wild - Flagitious Idiosyncrasy in the Dilapidation - all girl grindcore band - 385 - very funky noise punk, insanly good stuff

[@NathanielBTM]

you need to show her "Face Yourself - Sirens"

[@thebamboo8034]

please show her the warning. she said she wanna see full female fronted bands and the warning are literally 3 sisters and they're great

[@TheDarkXn]

What? No Ghost Love Score?? How dare you?!? 😡😜

[@Krieghandt]

Jinjer is number 2 in reactions. Nightwish Ghost Score Love is number one.

[@satanihelvetet]

If you intend to do another female fronted metal reaction video, I want to suggest following: Girlschool - Race with the devil Therion - Via nocturna (live 2007) Wendy o Wiliiams - I's my life Joan Jett and The Blackhearts - I hate myself for loving you L7 - Pretending we're dead Arch enemy - The eagles flies alone

[@Faustustopheles]

subscribed. reminded me of when I was first having my wife listen to my metal 🤘🏼

[@HarrymegamanDJ]

And then there are The female band The Warning, with their own sub genre in rock they are wiping the floor clean from other bands. Their drummer Paulina Villarreal was awarded the price as Rock drummer of the year in 2023. The three sisters from Mexico are playing some serious rock . Here is Dany their guitar player on stage with Hale storm in Quebec the other day kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5eVfWRqjtuobKc

Here are a few suggestions for part two: Future Palace - Flames Ad Infinitum - Outer Space Red Handed Denial - Collector Conquer Divide - Welcome2pradise Dying Wish - Until Mourning Comes Skarlett Riot - Underwater The Anchor - Masterpiece Kittie - Cut Throat Gore. - Doomsday Delain - Moth To A Flame Stitched Up Heart - Immortal Infected Rain - Never To Return As Everything Unfolds - On The Inside Goodnight Greatness - Raising Wolves SeeYouSpaceCowboy - To The Dance Floor For Shelter Butcher Babies - Sleeping With The Enemy Beyond The Black - Lost In Forever Drown This City - Stay Broken In This Moment - The Purge New Years Day - Malevolence Straight Line Stitch - Black Viel Once Human - Eye Of Chaos breakk.away - Secret Amber Town - Bloom Eyes Set To Kill - Break Forever Still - Breathe In Colours Face Yourself - Grosse Begarre Icon For Hire - Curse Or The Cure iwrestledabearonce - Button It Up Wake The Dead - With No Regrets Abnormality - Curb Stomp Blind Ivy - Apogee

[@shahnawaz_ami]

Stage diving in an integral element of hardcore scene. And if you know how to do it, it's safe, at least for the most part.

[@Nike_flipflopz17]

Show her terminal sleep they’re an amazing band 🔥🔥🔥

[@Blooddrunken]

To mention a few bands of different genres: Epica, Crypta, Sisters of Suffocation, Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult, Nervosa, Delain, Walls of Jericho, Lacuna Coil, Nightwish

[@TheLiquidCastle]

"i'm in danger" was the best edit xD

[@keithhatlak4325]

You should show her some of these female fronted bands. Thorr's Hammer Myrkur Fuck The Facts Cerebral Bore Kali Yuga Arch Enemy with Angela on vocals Iwrestledabearonce with Courtney from Spiritbobx and Krysta on vocals Kittie The Agonist

[@sunshaker01]

There are a lot of female fronted or all female bands in Japan (JPop, JRock, JMetal and so on) a short selection for JMetal would be Hanabie, Nemophila, Doll$Boxx (Dolls Box), Unlucky Morpheus, STMLT (Stimulate), Bridear, KOIAI, HAGANE, Asterism (they started out as an Instrumental band but have added singing lately, so some songs have no vocals), Destrose (on hiatus), Mary's Blood (on hiatus), Lightbringer (on hiatus). If you expand the list to include JRock (Rock/Hard Rock) you can add Gacharic Spin (for a Rock band they can go surprisingly heavy, see "I Wish I"), Band-Maid, East of Eden, Lonessome_Blue, Nek! (Neki, the "!" is an upside down "i"). Some of those bands are related in interesting ways (past members, shared members, side projects, composers) there is 1 big family in the bands I listed: Destrose (at least a dozen bands including Lovebites, Nemophila, Albion, Mary's Blood, Lonesome_blue, Disqualia, Aldious, Fate Gear), and a bunch connected to the vocalist Fuki (Fuki Collective, Lightbringer, Unlucky Morpheus, Doll$Boxx which has very strong ties to Gacharic Spin). One thing I will say about the female Japanese bands is that they tend to be friends with each other (the women for women thing), you will see them at each others concerts, spending downtime together, supporting each other during emergencies and god help you if you piss them off (the Band-Maid song "Hate?" is about a cheating spouse of another singer). Edit: Oh and turn Closed Captions on, many of the Japanese bands know they have western audiences and have provided lyric translations. For non-Japanese female fronted metal bands: Ankor, Face Yourself, Nightwish, Epica, and Arch Enemy. As for your wife's comment about being a classically trained pianist and then switching to metal, that is more common in Japan than you would think the shining example is a Pianist/guitarist by the name of Miyako from Lovebites (a concert grade pianist turned master guitarist/composer) for stand out examples of her playing the piano see the songs "Swan Song (with Chopin intro)" and "Edge of the World" and her solo work "Eagle Fly Free (piano cover)" she has serious skills. Another known example is Kanami from Band-Maid (Hard Rock instead of Metal) again piano to guitarist/composer though there are less songs of her playing, she has said that she only listened to classical music until high school and that her favorite composer was Chopin. It is interesting that both Miyako and Kanami have a very similar path through life, classical education, serious piano skills, pick up guitar in their teens, serious guitar skills, both compose many of their respective bands songs.

[@UberNoodle]

Woah, I was not expecting to see Albion on this list. If you're interested, the singer from Albion was in a band called Rakshasa, which WAS a folk metal band side project of the some members of Japanese symphonic black metal band, Ethereal Sin. I also recommend Japanese, neoclassical power metal band, Area51. Their music video "Nightmare" is on the Tubes, off their second most recent album. But their latest album (albeit 2014) is fantastic and the best album by far: "Judge The Joker".

[@sloewensteady]

To show the brutality a woman can achieve with vocals, show her a song by Cerebral Bore. And then more hardcore songs, check out Delta Hate, Gel, Buggin and Scowl

[@Sam.concha]

Band: Face Yourself Songs: Sirens, Guillotine, Unhinged, Red

[@VarcArtsandMusic]

5:40 This has been my exact train of thought any time I’ve watched clips of Fear Factory live. Burton’s vox sound absolutely fried/out of breath anytime he switches to cleans, it seems.

[@EversonBernardes]

@@VarcArtsandMusic Burton has a really unsustainable technique. No small miracle he's still going.

[@VarcArtsandMusic]

@@EversonBernardes Yeah, that’s the impression I get. One thought I have is that since he came up with the idea in the early 90s to blend clean singing and harsh vocals, and no one else was doing it, proper technique for that approach didn’t really develop until much later, so he stuck with bad habits for decades. It sucks, because their recordings are typically great

[@mikmook4781]

I'm distracted by him wearing an Umbro top from the 90s. Umbro? They're an English sportswear brand, but even in England they aren't particularly well known. How did that happen? Respect though.

[@nikkibregnhj8206]

Now that you show her female frontend bands Nice to see you show her Arch enemy you should definitely have showed her handshake with hell, house of mirrors, the eagle flies alone, the world is yours, War eternal even the old stuff with Angela we will rise, nemesis and my apocalypse. But in my humble opinion you forgot to show her lacuna coil that are one of the greatest metal bands besides Arch enemy Christina scabbias voice is so beautiful and all their albums kicks ass especially comalies xx that whole album you should definitely show her another good bands you should show her as well is cellar darling with Black Moon and freeze. In this moment beautiful tragedy and as well as babymetal and of course another Japanese metal band ladybaby Nippon manju that song too is amazing love your channel man ❤

[@VARVIS_]

Will do man! Thanks for all of these! Appreciate you 👍

[@MrJayzilla101]

Conquer Divide, baby metal, nightwish, scene queen, cassyette, Butcher babies, New Year’s Day, Amaranthe, Lacuna Coil, Dream state (early stuff with CJ on vocals)

[@SocialNetwooky]

well ... Band Maid (Hate? official live is what you're looking for), Nemophila, The Warning and Hanabie should probably be next :)

[@moralfo0109]

A female fronted Japanese metal band that I absolutely love is Unlucky Morpheus, especially their Vampir mini-album. Each of their albums is different, that one is best described as neoclassical speed/power metal I think, Angriefer is just perfection. They also did a song which they play normally first, then play it backwards, only the drums are different and the lyrics' meaning is backwards as well, there's a video on their official channel with sheet music: CADAVER/REVADAC

[@alejandromolina2435]

Definetely VENOM PRISON!

[@2727rogers]

Noticed that you haven't reacted to Nightwish on your channel. Is that because you know all about them because if you are going to react to female lead mental bands you should react to the best female vocalist out there today. That being Floor Jansen. Happy to see you react to a couple of Canadian bands. Love Brittney and Unleash the Archers.

[@sVieira151]

Some suggestions for metal bands to react to that I think she might find interesting: Oceans of Slumber: I like Winter, but Cammie does some growling on Where Gods Fear to Speak so I think that could be cool Draconian: Sorrow of Sophia. Have you given her any doom yet? :D Nova Twins: Antagonist. Bit of a throwback to the early 2000s, but nobody really like them about at the moment. Perchta: Hebamm. She has some incredibly expressive harsh vocals. Also a song about midwives! Ulcerate: Stare Into Death and Be Still. Just because I want to hear you try to explain Ulcerate to her lol Long song so feel free to go shorter. Avatarium: Boneflower. Very 70s singing approach, in my opinion. That's probably too many but thought I'd throw some names in the ring. The one other I can think of is Devin Townsend, especially since he's Canadian.

[@MamPuia321]

i think she will enjoy Opeth would be interesting to see what her opinions are on their heavier and lighter songs

[@TheCyberMantis]
