I’m kinda the opposite, haha! It’s twenty years old now but back then I got my hands on the Beautiful Voices albums and I discovered some fantastic female vocalists (and a few I already loved).
These days my most listened to band is without a doubt Band Maid, and my latest discovery is Castle Rat…
It’s not the fact it’s a woman singing, per se, it’s more something to do with lyricism and the contrast with the metal sound.
Just like Serj Tankian’s operatic singing vs the mad sound of SoaD, if you will.
Dude, those compilation disks were amazing, and some even came with DVDs of their music videos. I remember how cringy After Forever videos were, and how enchanting Floor’s voice and interpretation always was. I still listen to VOA frequently, and those albums really helped shape my taste in music.
If you want a fancy treat, give both Diablo Swing Orchestra and Igorrr a listening to, they are amazing.
