WITHIN TEMPTATION:
This is my top favorite female fronted band from The Netherlands. I love Sharon Den Adel's voice and the epic orchestras/choirs..

FLAW:
Chris Volz is my top favorite male vocalist (he also fronted Five Bolt Main). Their first two major label releases were pure gold. I've met them as well.

THE PANIC DIVISION:
This band blends an 80's new wave keyboard sound with modern rock. I love them because they are so different than most modern bands.

LACUNA COIL:
This Italian band was (at one time) a great gothic/doom rock inspired band with both female/male vocals.

KATATONIA:
This fantastic Swedish doom rock band has very dark, atmospheric (almost Tool-like) sound with all haunting, melodic vocals.

TOOL:
I love this band's dark (but very melodic) style. Maynard James Keenan is another favorite vocalist of mine. He fronts A Perfect Circle and Puscifer as well.

LUNATICA:
This is another female fronted symphonic metal band that I love. Great drummer and guitarist.

BREAKING BENJAMIN:
A rather well known mainstream hard rock band.

EVANESCENCE:
Another very well known female fronted band fronted by Amy Lee.

RED:
This is my top favorite Christian rock band. They have a rather mainstream sound. This partical song reminds me of Linkin Park.

Well anyways that's all for now.
