[@mutantbrain92]

​@@kerrinasmundson676love Schoolyard Heroes. Was so upset when they broke up. Poppy is also amazing.

[@user-dt8kr3hw3w]

Excellent selection. Learned a lot of new things. You have good taste. Good luck!

[@cyberknyfe677]

Glad you enjoyed the video!! Thanks for your support

[@deletado12]

Great video, thanks, incredible. Spiritbox is always insane, so many great bands and singers!

[@cyberknyfe677]

Thank you so much for your kind words! Spiritbox is definitely one of the best out there!

[@wildernessisland2573]

I just disvovered Spiritbox the other day because I'm going to see them with GOJIRA and korn and now I'm a new fan and so excited to see them!

[@georgeburger4624]

Please everyone support metal!!!

[@cyberknyfe677]

Well said!!

[@emmanuelchantry4802]

only got to this video today. Some nice bands i need to discover. Thanks for the suggestions. Missing quite a few other good bands like Epica, Within Temptation, Lacuna Coil, Butcher Babies, Red Handed Denial, The charm the fury (disbanded now) and many more i can't think of right now. But my favorites bands made it :D Infected Rain and Jinjer

[@cyberknyfe677]

I'll have to check out your suggestions! Thx

[@Cristian96r]

I honestly expected to see Yukina from Hanabie or Emily Arima defending the J-metal flag before Babymetal, since they represent a more "metal" image for the Western eye. In any case, the recognition of the pioneers is appreciated.👏👏👏

[@solstice4485]

I expected to see Show-Ya...

[@satoriosaka]

@@solstice4485 They are absolute legends

[@jennymercurio8367]

Jinjer and The Anchor ❤❤

[@cyberknyfe677]

Thanks for watching!

[@mrworld2112]

i cant believe epica or lovebites are not on this list.

[@Robert_Douglass]

I couldn't believe Halocene wasn't on this list either.

[@igormarkov2004]

#1 Jinjer #2 Spiritbox

[@timclarke2661]

You can also add Within Temptation, Delain, Beyond The Black, Butcher Babies, AD Infinitum, Nemophelia, Lacuna Coil, Dead Pony, The Warning!

[@billozzy5760]

The Warning metal?from when.....?

[@eddylindsey986]

The ONLY complaint I have is that several of my favorite metal bands and metal singers weren't listed like Within Temptation, Leave's Eyes, Epica, and Tarja Turunen, I'm sure these fine metal artists would be amazing in ANY list. But I do understand one thing, the metal scene is stacked and packed with THE FINEST performers from all around the world, so I totally understand that you would need a list the size of South America..and it STILL wouldn't be enough to list ALL of the great artists. Thank you for allowing me to state my opinion here, it means a lot to me, and to know that I'm saying Within Temptation, Tarja Turunen, and Evanescence in the same sentence as Babymetal, X Japan, Hanabie, and Band-Maid is the absolute GREATEST. Rock on everyone, and NEVER lose the passion for music.🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@cyberknyfe677]

Perhaps a Part 2 is needed, there are so many great bands out there it's hard to name them all. Thanks for the suggestions!!

[@PaulEMoz]

I can only presume that the reason Lovebites aren't in this list is because they're all-female, and not just female-fronted, Not sure why Frozen Crown aren't here, though. Or Unleash the Archers. I guess Nightwish were too obvious.

[@FoxMindShow]

Годная подборка, даже Future Palace сюда включил, красава 🤘

[@hans-joachimrottger3495]

Very romantic voices!

[@gaefferson1]

The Warning”..rock band are bad ass

[@bayareathrasher666]

I recommend Gel, they are awesome

[@cyberknyfe677]

Thank you for the recommendation, I'm check them out!

[@tiagobarros5666]

Walls of Jericho is a phenomenal band. The album With devils amongst us all is one of the best and most exciting hardcore albums I've ever heard.

[@cyberknyfe677]

I couldn't agree more! Walls of Jericho is truly amazing.

[@tiagobarros5666]

​@@cyberknyfe677Indeed. Best wishes from Brazil.

[@Kaesemuchacho]

Lovebites? Hanabie? Nemophila? Passcode? Broken by the scream? Unlucky Morpheus? Etc Do u know asia? There female bands too ....

[@cyberknyfe677]

Actually have a video coming out soon with the bands you listed

[@Kaesemuchacho]

@@cyberknyfe677 okay that's Nice ☝️

[@Rocketman9mm]

no in this moment or new years day?

[@cyberknyfe677]

I’m gonna try to put a part 2 together. I’ll be sure to add them in! Thx for the suggestions

[@DocMagoo]

In This Moment feature at 6:58

[@Hollyucinogen]

They almost always miss Otep, too.

[@emkayg612]

Can someone explain why this band replaced so many singers and changed band names so often...?

[@yvs6663]

the trap of "female fronted" is that the person who amde this list obivously likes likes metalcore. so a whole lot of symphonic/power/modern metal bands i listen to didn't make it to this list. but hey, there are also female fronted bands in other subgenres.

[@Erin_Metal]

UNLEASH THE ARCHERS

[@cyberknyfe677]

Thx!! I’ll add them to the list!🤘

[@davidstonerook3868]

WOW no Nightwish, Epica, Within Temptation, Delain, Beyond The Black, Dust In Mind, Unleash The Archers, Kobra and The Lotus, Burning Witches, Frozen Crown, Volturian, Moonlight Haze, Whyzdom, Nocturna, Xandria, Ad Infinitum, Twin Temple, Walk In Darkness and Eleine. Elize Ryd is my favorite female vocalist and Amaranthe is one of my favorite band. With that said, I would not label Amaranthe a female fronted. Amaranthe have three vocalist. One female and two male.

[@cyberknyfe677]

Wow thx for all the band suggestions, I'll add them to my list and see if we cant get some of them added to a future video!

[@syntezjaofficial4240]

I would add Within Temptation and it will be perfect, that's funny they are basically metalcore band curently and they do it in really interesting way

[@cyberknyfe677]

I’ll add them to my list. Thx for the suggestion

[@natashamarikleeba6239]

Entheos and Year of the Knife are also missing.

[@cyberknyfe677]

Thank you for pointing them out! I'll check them out!

[@user-cc5uk4jr9z]

One of the best metal voices, male or female, is the voice of Brittney Slayes. Too bad she is not included

[@Robert_Douglass]

Where the hell was Halocene?!

[@sibiriak9221]

Eths

[@zoransusak2354]

GWENDYDD???

[@austinhughes1924]

You forgot Evanescence!

[@luisfernandomartinezlopez4737]

Jinjer and Tatiana shmailyuk are too heavy versátil voice and sound

[@marcelodq4553]

faltou a banda Nervosa do Brasil

[@cyberknyfe677]

I have them in my best bands from Brazil video!!

[@davidstonerook3868]

A local I support, Fallen Reign, will be opening for Nervosa on September 1st in Lincoln Nebraska 🖤🦇💣💀⚡️🤘

[@GarboEmbargo]

Fam, I can look past you putting babymetal on here and forgetting Nightwish and Lacuna Coil. But you did everyone a disservice by omitting Morgan Lander from Kittie. NO ONE IN THE COMMENTS EVEN MENTIONED KITTIE WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?

[@aiascos]

Didn’t find NIGHTWISH in the list I’m out

[@jplays8934]

Where's Nightwish??? Where's Within Temptation??? Where's Evanescence???

[@cyberknyfe677]

Working on a part 2. I’ll be sure to add them in.

[@Kanas83]

no Unleash the Archers, Epica, NIGHWISH

[@circlethebaggins1865]

Novelists

[@cyberknyfe677]

Did I miss them??..... I'll add them to my list. Thx

[@scottgregg5492]

Night wish?

[@satoriosaka]

Baby Metal? Really??? What about Nemophila, Hanabie, Saiseiga, Bridear etc???

[@bandmaidfanATL]

No Nemophila? No Hanabie? No Saiseiga? Dude, you need to explore a bit.

[@nureka546]

Weabo 😅

[@dmckenna]

@@nureka546He's right tho?

[@h0pesfall]

Not everybody likes your animemusic

[@bandmaidfanATL]

@@h0pesfall So, am I to assume that you and @nureka546 prefer sweaty, overweight, heroine addicted middle aged American rock singers with no range left over hot, clean Asian ladies in their late 20s-early 30s that still have pipes and more natural talent? Interesting...

[@Kaesemuchacho]

Don't forget Uriin from broken by the scream (sadly she left this band)

[@s3any1977]

Jinjer

[@cyberknyfe677]

Had them in the original video but copyright made me take them out, ugh.

[@user-dt8dz5ff2c]

Poppy is trash compared to these legends! 🤟🤘

[@994pt4]

🔥🔥🔥NEMOPHILA🔥🔥🔥

[@MikeMcD-sm2ds]

Lovebites, frozen crown, to name a couple more

[@cyberknyfe677]

Lovebites and Frozen Crown are awesome bands, thanks for the recommendations!

[@utrhac462]

Best western female fronted metal bands!? no japanese nor indonesian? they are at least of the same level than the best band of this compilation.
