Don't take too hard the dispute, Mind_Drive, they're rather rare.

Mind Drive must be rare, as I've never heard of them, although I've heard of the Yessong of the same name. Smile

LOL No worries, you guys have taken good care of it, thanks!

So I'll continue with my feedback:

@edefakiel: I love that Wintersun album! (even saw him play it live!), sadly I dont have anything comparable except maybe Green Carnation - Light of Day, Day of Darkness. But it might count more as "simply a concept album" - not necessarily greater than life in scope.

Madder Mortem: saw them once opening for Soen and enjoyed it, but not quite what I am looking for.

Messa: interesting, but lacks the "symphony" for me

Luca Turilli: have most of his albums including rhapsody of fire! great fanatsy metal! :)

Ricinn: ... I mean, Igorrr and Öxxö Xööx are from another universe entirely, and Corpo Mente is definately interesting stuff but a bit too "alien" for me ;)

@Psychedelic Paul
Yes, I rarely post here, but I have to say I enjoy it when I do :)
.. and you are correct, the Yes song was, what inspired my name.
It's just a ride... <3

My username was inspired by Neil Young's Psychedelic Pill album. Smile

Ok guys, I think I know what I like most about female fronted metal:

- Bombastic and voluminous symphonic instrumentation
- Catchy choruses with epic melodies
- Powerful angelic voices that scream right into my soul

Since I'm quite a bit more enamoured of the divine feminine, than the divine masculine, it's mostly the girl's voices that give me that tingling sensation Embarrassed LOL
(that being said, Einar from Leprous is probably still one of my favourite singers of all time, but I guess he has a pretty angelic voice, too)

For anyone who is interested and because its fun to compile favourite music, here are some examples that stand out to me:

The Slot - Ripples on the water:

Seriously guys, you have to listen to the chorus of this one, Daria has probably the most epic and powerful voice in rock period! Bonus points for singing in russian.

Eluveitie - Rose for Epona:

I'm addicted to this melody!

Blackbriar - Arms of the Ocean:

Probably the most lascivious voice of them all, a true Siren!

It's just a ride... <3

But in the future,  Mind_Drive, it would be good to think about whether it's most appropriate to start a thread in a Prog lounge,
or in the General Music Discussions section. Smile

Edit:
Ah, you're looking for symphonic, folksy, bombastic Epica-like metal that is progressive with electronic influences.
Try this one:



unREDog is an up-and-coming "avantgardustrial, as she calls it - it's just industrial metal  with some avant-garde influence lol - project from Israel, if you really want a LOT of electronic influences. Debut tbd. This is actually a side project for Adi Bitran, front woman for Orpheus Blade. May as well embed a video here, but I don't think this is quite for what you are looking:


There's also StormbounD, who basically epitomize everything you've described:


But personally, I think the production job on the album is awful and really just a hard listen, so it's a hard recommendation for me, but hey I think you'll love it, if you can get past the poor production job.

Hey MindDrive!

Lots of great recommendations so far, quite a few for me to try out too😊

But if you like folk-influenced then PLEASE try listening to the two Cellar Darling albums - This Is The Sound and The Spell. Both are truly awesome.

The band is formed of three ex members of Eluveitie - previously mentioned and also a great band. Anna Murphy sings and plays hurdy-guest, flute and keyboards. She has an incredible voice! It’s folky, gothic and quite heavy in places. The Spell is a concept album and my favourite disc from the great year that was 2019….

^ I loved Highlight Kenosis (sadly not active for somewhere around 9 years now). It was indeed I who suggested them for inclusion in the archives back in February 2012, and there are several more videos of them playing their early material (with the original vocalist Oana Maria Stoica) in that thread: https://www.progarchives.com/Forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=84979.

Here's another rather obscure UK-based female-fronted melodic symphonic metal band that I used to listen to back in those days who only cut one album "The Dark Awakening" before seemingly disappearing off the scene altogether in 2012:



They came out of hiatus in the spring of 2016 however, and began looking for a new vocalist. It took quite a while to fill the role though, with the band suffering several false starts along the way, but finally in October 2019 they discovered Tauni Baxter. A 'Reawakening Tour' was planned for 2020, but after completing just one gig at The Three Hats, Milton Regis, Sittingbourne UK on 15th February 2020, Covid came along and forced the band back into hibernation again until the late spring of 2021. A new single called 'After Echoes' was finally released in November 2021, and it has been said that material for a new album is being recorded at Karl Groom's Thin Ice studios.

All the band's existing material can be heard on YouTube Music and Spotify.

Kalandra is great too, more folk than metal, but still worth a listen
