Today is “International Women’s Day” and since I saw numerous posts focusing on some sensational female Metal and Rock singers I decided to do something similar here on the PiercingMetal website. Since our debut as an online magazine, I’ve witnessed some true powerhouses rule the stages of New York City and sometimes beyond. After digitally leafing through folder after folder I was able to fashion what I think is a great representation of some of Heavy Metal’s greatest ladies. The photos are filed alphabetically and no one pictured below should find you scratching your head. As time permits I’ll add in more text but for now please enjoy the photos. They were all taken by me from across a numerous span of years at a wide number of venues in our region. Enjoy.

The Press Release:
This September heavy metal overlords Amon Amarth will descend from the land of ice and snow to headline a history-making charge across North America with fellow Swedish warlords Arch Enemy, At The Gates and Grand Magus, and carnage is on the menu.

The Berserker World Tour, presented by The Noise will be a showcase of the riffing havoc captured on their 11th studio album, Berserker, and will treat fans to the kind of pulverising riffage and sublime, fist-in-the-air anthems the band have come to be known for, because no words are more synonymous with Amon Amarth than unrivaled songcraft and unswerving commitment to no-bullshit heavy fucking metal – and now they have a landmark tour to match.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: Now before I say anything on this, I should explain that I’ve never been to ANY of the European Festivals and when I see posters and lineups like this one, it almost makes me cry. I’ve not managed to get across the pond as they say as its just not logistically possible for me to wrangle the necessary finances for it but I digress. What I love about Festivals like this one is how on point they always seem to be. With bands like KISS announcing their “End Of The Road” World Tour (discussed earlier today on THIS LINK), I’m planning on seeing them whenever I can and they are only the tip of the iceberg of bands that I am interested in who are performing at this festival. That’s all I have for now but you readers can tell me what you think about the matter down in the comments section below. Please lets all discuss.
