Everyone knows of my love for The Gathering (Anneke Van Giersbergen is a Goddess!) but i've found that metal music with a female voice fronting the band is a perfect thing. That added touch of femininity to the masculinity of the music...
Perfect female fronted metal bands:

Lacuna Coil - Cristina Scabbia
Nightwish - Tarja Tarunen
Leaves' Eyes/Theatre of Tragedy - Liv Kristine
The Gathering - Anneke Van Giersbergen

anyone got any thoughts?

That's fucking cool, Anne van Giersbergen comes from a village in Holland. Yay, bless the Dutch!

Anyway, I can't think of anymore bands, sorry. Metal is not my thing.

I'm obsessed with The Gathering... she comes from Oss right? my family originates from near there!

My brother really likes Arch Enemy and I'm sure that they have a female lead singer.

Mhm, they do.
