Want some female-fronted/women-centric metal? I made a sampler version of my Women In Metal playlist! This one only includes a single song for each group/artist. (Although, some vocalists/musicians may be included more than once if they’re part of more than one project!) I hope that this version makes it easier to find bands that you’d like to see more of!

"Denne natten var dommedagsnatten, den siste natten de stolte guder og de faele beist i dette liv skulle se..."
Before Seattle musicians Greg Anderson and Stephen O'Malley formed their iconic drone band Sunn O))), they played in the very short lived death/doom metal group Thorr's Hammer. Helmed by Norwegian exchange student Runnhild Gammelsæter on vocals (who produced some of the most guttural, harsh singing to ever come out of a human larynx), the group was together for only six weeks before its dissolution upon Runnhild's return to Norway. During those six weeks they managed to create the punishingly heavy, doomy EP Dommedagsnatt (meaning "doomsday night" in Norwegian) with a lasting impact despite the band's short time together.
Anderson and O'Malley went on the form the sludge/doom band Burning Witch shortly after the breakup of Thorr's Hammer. Gammelsæter, on the other hand, obtained a PhD in cell biology though is still somewhat involved in the metal scene, contributing guest vocals on Sunn O)))'s 2003 album White1 as well as other projects.
Favorite tracks: Norge, Mellom Galgene
