Women in rock and heavy metal: how many bands led or formed exclusively by female artists do you have on your playlist? To promote and celebrate female power in heavy music, Wikimetal has prepared a playlist with more than three hours of music.
In our curation, we sought to honor pioneers like Big Mama Thornton and Sister Rosetta Sharpe , the Mother of Rock N' Roll, as well as the rock disciples of the 1960s and 1970s, such as Janis Joplin and The Runaways . The playlist also includes songs from bands led by women in different decades, such as Garbage , who will be coming to Brazil in 2023 with The Town , Hole, The Pretty Reckless , and Spiritbox .
Furthermore, the Women in Rock and Heavy Metal includes bands formed exclusively by women, such as Thundermother and Burning Witches , and also highlights the national pride of having bands like Nervosa and Crypta representing Brazilian metal very well around the world.
On the cover of the latest update, the chosen representative of women in rock and metal was Sharon Den Adel , vocalist of Within Temptation for almost three decades. Currently, the band is preparing the release of a new album and addresses current and political themes in singles such as "Wireless" and "Don't Pray For Me" .
Our playlist of amazing women in rock and metal features over 50 songs and is available on Spotify (listen below) and also on Deezer.
