A couple of upcoming releases I am REALLY excited about:
I can't wait for the Leaves' Eyes album. Symphonies of the Night was a little bit of a downturn from the previous 2 albums, but still great.
I like TMOMS, but haven't bought any of their albums yet. Angelica looks like a porn star, but can really sing. I have a couple of their videos saved to my computer.
The first single from Leaves' Eyes new album "King of Kings":
No big surprises, but solid as always. Really excited about the new album!
Australia's Divine Ascension is a must check out for those into power/progressive type metal.
Liberator
Dawn Brings no Mercy
That's a ton of cool bands but I read the whole thread and I didn't see these.
1. Halestorm - I Get Off
2. In This Moment - The Gun Show
Both bands are female fronted. And Liv Kristine was epic with Cradle of Filth on Nymphetamine.
Hanzel und Gretyl are also 1/2 female fronted but they are also seriously progressive. But they do extreme & industrial metal sometimes.
