If you don't like her voice that's fine, I remember I wasn't a massive fan when I first heard it. Same thing with Jens Carlsson of Persuader - and like I said, I do have my own gripes with the band. Speaking of tastes, I've got to say, I don't get the OP's whole 'girl bands say fuck it more often than the guy bands' thing...
What do you mean sir?

In his 6/26/2014 post in the Doom101 thread (a thread that is the center of my musical life these days [gratzie mille {as always}]) BAN posts a video linked recommendation for Derketa, a band I'd never heard of. I'm not sure they riot, but they crush souls and wreak havoc for sure, and are all female apparently. It's raw brutal and unclean. Also they have a wicked badassed lettered band name which gives the impression of electrified death, so hopefully you'll enjoy that.

I had no issue with Persuader's vocals they sound like a slightly pissed off Hansi Kursch to me.

The music is something I have to be in a rare mood for' date=' though.[/quote'] That's true of me with Myrath and Future's End, for some reason. I like both bands but I very rarely seem to be in the mood for them.

I'm trying to hang on to all my music, because I know I'll come back to it at some point. Heck, I may even start enjoying Slayer again one day... eh...

I count Black Sabbath as one of my favourite bands' date=' and I probably listen to them about twice a year (if that). Alice in Chains are probably my number one favourite, but I don't seem to listen to them all that often, either.[/quote'] I find myself waiting, or avoiding listening to stuff that I think of as my "favorite" music, because I want to play it when I can give it the attention that it deserves, or because I don't want to wear it out. After a while, though, I suppose it becomes a favorite in name only... Triarchy Of The Lost Lovers is like that for me, it had a huge influence on me and I listened to it daily for a while, but it's been years since I got all the way through it. ...not that this has anything to do with female metal vocalists. :D

Shroud Eater, fantastic doom band from Miami. Two chick vocalists one on guitar and one on bass. the latter of which is smoking hot as well. they played here a couple months ago and knocked my socks off. Immortal Bird is another good one from Chicago, kinda blackened, doomy death metal. The girl plays drums and does vocals. Saw them last weekend in tampa and they tore the place down

    • Sacred Reich "Awakening"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Overkill "The Wings of War"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious.
