Ending the saga of women in metal, we find many women as "lead singers". But this kind of contribution is not restricted in singing. We can find a lot of talents out of the vocals. Drummers, pianists and bassists are also taking the stage. The passion for music don't need to be division of gender. It is a summation and I have found talented women that share the stage with men. The only problem and I repeat, is a lack of publicity and interest in the work not only for these girls but also fro others musicians as they often only give more importance and attention to the singer. And a band is not based on one person only, but the whole thing.
Ana - Second guitar player of the Spanish Goregrind band Haemorrhage.
The presence of women in the Metal has been growing steadily in the world of Heavy Metal. As in Metal we can find various strands such as Black Metal, Death Metal, Doom Metal, Folk Metal, Symphonic Metal, Gothic Metal, etc, there are strands in the singing too. Most of female singers specialize in the clean/ lyrical singing, but the numbers of women who use the guttural vocal are increasing in extreme metal.
The guttural vocals (from the Latin guttur, which means throat, gullet), in music, is a vocal technique that produces a rasping sound, severe or profound, which is obtained through the diaphragm support (commonly used in most styles of singing) which is breathing technique, together with distortions in the sound produced in the vocal cords and larynx, which produces a bass sound and hoarse, with an aggressive character. The style is widely used in heavy metal bands as Death Metal, Metal core, Death core and Trash Metal. It is also quite common in Black Metal, Gothic Metal and some variants of Symphonic Metal.
Types of Guttural Vocal
Fry - Vocal technique used to scream. It is commonly used in Metal core and Post-hardcore. It occurs when driving air into the stomach and increasing the tone by closing the vocal chords. Bands that use this technique: Bullet for My Valentine, Trivium, Underoath, Blessthefall, Attack! Attack!, Silverstein, Atreyu, Hopes Die Last, Escape the Fate, among many others.
Death/False Chords (Death Growls) - Vocal technique that produces a dirty scream, torn and brutal. It is commonly used in Death Metal and Black Metal. Bands that use this technique: Opeth, Cannibal Corpse, Dir en grey, Dimmu Borgir, among many others.
Pig Squeal: Is a technique throaty voice, like the squeal of a pig. This style is applied by Growl, with the difference that the squeal of the pig is positioning the ends of the tongue between the upper teeth, making a shrill sound the same torn. This tactic is used mainly in Goregrind and Death Metal bands such as Chelsea Grin and occasionally in Grindcore. Besides these are common, there is the Inward Screaming which is produced by the cries that breathe the air. All techniques involve loud cries and lows, the young fish are more concentrated in high and low resistance, but with little depth. In contrast, the chord death/false focuses on the brutality of bass. Although not as popular, the disclosure of this type of voice among women or groups in which the singer uses this technique is recognized bands like Arch Enemy's singer Angela Gossow, The Agonist's singer Alissa White Gluz and others. So I will show you seven female singers who rock.
Masha Scream - Russian singer of the Folk/Black Metal band Arkona. Even being from Russia, Masha has been incorporate the Scandinavia culture mingling with her native culture, making rich lyrics and worshiping the viking spirit. And she incorporate the both types of singing, the clean and the aggressive style.
Angela Gossow - German singer of the Swedish band Arch Enemy. She had worked in a advertising firm and had studied economics, when in 1999 she did an interview with Arch Enemy for an online magazine during the Burning Bridges' tour. On this occasion she gave a demo tape of Mistress (the band she was a lead singer). In 2000 Johan Liiva left the band and the guitarist called her for auditions to join the band.
Candice - French singer of the band Eths, formed in 1999. Candice sings in French and switches between clean and guttural. The lyrics of the songs are inspired by the painful childhood of Candice.
Otep Shamaya - American singer and songwriter. She made her debt in 2000 with the band Otep. It is easily distinguished by her heavy singing with lyrical elements, clear voice and guttural.

It has been said that women are a weaker gender. Well sometimes not even that. The good thing about being a woman is we can exert both sides. We can be feminine, subtle, delicate and the same time we can be strong, determined and with a hint of aggression, but without losing our femininity. Never! And when we talk about the world music, there is still some trepidation about women in metal, so we can not deny that there is a man club in which men have total control. Most fans and members of metal bands are composed by men. All though the genre is rude, aggressive and even offensive, but now we find many women who enjoy the sound. And believe me there are several bands that can be attended including the vocals. Besides having good looks, the vocal burst in and put shame several men.
And for those who think that their participation is recent, you are mistaken. The first group of female participation to achieve a certain level of recognition in this period was Girlschool. Emerged in 1978 and it was a metallic version of "The Runnaways". The sound caught the attention of Lemmy Kilmister, Motörhead eternal leader, who became a sort of godfather of the band. So in 1979 they opened a part of the tour dates for release of Overkill. Others bands also appeared as Rock Goddess (was formed by women only), but is was not expressive as Girlschool, in part because he appeared at the same time and they have not the "luck" that Girlschool had as contact with Lemmy. In 1983 in Dusseldorf, Germany, appeared Warlock, with Doro Pesch as vocalist and the only girl in this band. She is also known as the "Queen of Metal" until today. Bitch was the first heavy metal band from United States of America to have a female member (Betsy Bitch). A curious fact is Bitch was the first band to sign a contract with the legendary label Metal Blade, which is responsible for revealing names like Metallica, Slayer and Armored Saint, among others. Of course, there were and there are other bands with female members, so I apologize if I not mentioned them. Maybe this is the first chapter among others?...kkkk.
In this first part I would like to mention six vocalists who follow several strands of metal. Besides I really like their music, I think they have an incredible talent (and there are several talents around the world, but the lack of media interest in the disclosure becomes poor or almost nonexistent).
1. Tarja Turunen - Lyrical singer, songwriter and pianist who became world famous Finnish vocalist of symphonic metal band Nightwish between 1996 and 2005. Currently it goes on a solo career.
4. Inga Scharf - Lead singer of the German band Van Canto. They blend with the style a capella and heavy/power metal, creating a style they call "a capella metal hero".

Last Sunday was the last day of the second edition of the International Crafts Araçatuba -SP, in Brazil. Altogether, there were booths from 27 countries and 15 states. Many attractions such as clothing, accessories, decorations, treats, food, etc. Almost a trip to the whole world in a small space. A fair that practically has filled our eyes and mouths. And I must emphasize that it was love at first, second, third, etc..bite: It was the french Crepe Paris Bistrot Tropicalia of Ana Junqueira Bachelet and her husband Vicent.
Wonderful crepes. Do you know that kind of tasting that you eat kneeling and praying? The crepe's Bistrot is as well and for once I'm not ashamed to say that I repeat shamelessly...kkk. And the couple's friendliness was contagious. Well, if you someday go to Paris, why not go to Tropicalia Bistrot and enjoy what they have to better to offer. Au revoir!
