Girl Power! :) \m/ (HW1)


If you make create a band, you should not just listen to the music alone but also experience it as a whole - from the sound of every instrument up to the lyrics being sang. Every girl wants to make music because they couldn't go on simply just as listeners only. We always have that brutal force inside us and it compels us to do something about it.


Heavy metal music is not just for macho men, long haired rascals, and deep growling brutes, girls also has the power to conquer the stage. I have found out that many metal bands of different genres is fronted by female vocalists like Angela Gossow of Arch Enemy, Vivian Slaughter of Gallhammer, Heike Langhans of Draconian and for the local acts, Sensi OƱate of Oremuz and Len of Dreaded Mortuary.

I’am fascinated to these gals because of their talents and taste in music.












There is a band named Gallhammer. It is and all-female metal band. This is very rare in their genre which is mainly dominated by male bands like Mettalica. Gallhammer is a Japanese extreme metal group that draws  on black metal, doom metal, and crust punk. They formed in Tokyo in 2003. Their first recording, a free demo tape limited to 30 copies, was distributed at their first gig at Koiwa Death Fest Vol.2, around March 2003, in Japan. In July of the same year, the self-titled demo album was released. Gallhammer released their second full-length album, Ill Innocence, through Peaceville Records in September 2007, followed by a European tour. In March 2008, they did a second European tour. For their third LP The End released in 2011 their guitarist, Mika Penetrator, is not present anymore but nevertheless the band chose to continue as a bass-drums duo

"I can say that raw feelings make a good sound. Because we are not a machine. We could shed blood, could vomit and have feeling of hate. I wanted to express the mental instability and mental cruelty which a girl has. Now, we are holding up pride, hate and life in the front. We are not wearing that dress." -Vivian Slaughter


In the world of heavy metal music, there are no boundaries. No one is limited. Male or female, it will not matter. The music is always more than meets the eye, or rather, what enters the ear.
