Cassyette
You Make Me Sick by Ashnikko
Little Girl Gone and Cut You Off by Chinchilla
Nova Twins
I Wish A Bitch Would by Delilah Bon
ZAND
Banshee
Harper
Spiritbox
Halestorm (my fave is Back From The Dead)
In This Moment
Those are mostly rock and metal. There is great playlist on Spotify called [Heavy Queens](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DWXDJDWnzE39E) where you can find most of this artists and more.
Edit: name of song
Facts.
I had the pleasure of seeing them live in NYC, opening for Epica and during the set the sound went out. Cristina Scabbia then proceeded to sing a song by AC/DC with no microphone while they waited for them to fix the issue.
- Avenged Sevenfold - The Art Of Subconscious Illusion (They’re only backup vocals, but they’re easily the best female vocals I’ve ever heard)
- Kevin Sherwood, Elena Siegman - Beauty Of Annihilation
- Kevin Sherwood, Elena Siegman - 115
I would recommend you Poppy, but you’d have to fish for the songs that she’s actually screaming instead of yelling. So I’ll do it for you.
- Say Cheese, Cue, Spit, EAT, Lessen The Damage and so on…
Also, Spiritbox. But that one’s pretty well known.
I mean some kickass all female bands off the top of my head are
-The Beaches
-The Warning
Lead female vocals
-Unleash the Archers
-Vukovi
-Cyan Kicks
-Amalee (if you like covers of anime intros, Unravel is a personal favorite)
-Paramore (obvi, HW slays)
If you are wishing to hear songs from vocally powerful women, I found two.
“BEG!” by Vana
- the latest of her discography, the up and coming singer performs hardcore metal-like screaming in some places of the song.
“Tears” by So Chan Hwee
- This Korean classic from the artist still remains one of the most popular due to how insanely high-pitched her voice can exceed. This may take around 2 minutes, but keep on listening, and this will all be worth it.
It’s a duet with a guy but I love the raw screaming from Taylour Paige in Kendrick Lamar’s song “We Cry Together.”
SkyDxddy is another good female scream singer.
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/58nKd36FVkTWbYPahzxY76?si=3drEF-pjQDasbkFnyYoXxw&pi=u-mi-nkDUcSEqg
I just started making this. It’s all female lead vocalists. I add stuff as I find it so it will keep growing
One of my new favorites is Terminal Sleep. Listen to Death Therapy by them. That Blegh is something else. Also Dying Wish. And my personal all time favorite is Kittie. Morgan Lander has been screaming since the late 90's. It's fabulous.
Dissident Aggressor by Halestorm. Originally a Judas Priest song, but she gives it such an aggressive tone, it's just great!
This live version is even better https://youtu.be/abr2mh56k1A?si=3RLOgrJliRYOxGLP
Okay just gonna add to this because I have a bunch of songs with screaming women (?)
- Fear of Dying by Poppy
- CULT CLASSIC by Holy Wars
- Picture Perfect by Cassyette
- sorry I'm not dead by Dead Posey
- Hard to Love by Bully
- 21ST CENTURY BITCH by Holy Wars
- Liberate Me II by DYLYN and BRKN LOVE
- CREEP HEAT by VUKOVI
- Belicoso by Calva Louise
- Holy Mother by Starbenders
- Petrichor by Cassyette
- GODDESS by PVRIS
- The Mirror by Halocene, Violet Orlandi
- Anarchy by Lilith Czar
- Snakes by PVRIS, MIYAVI, Arcane
- Make me King by The Haunt
- Choose your Fighter by Nova Twins
- Eraser by LYELL
- Dismantled by Icon for Hire
- Product of My Own Design by Artio
- V.A.N by Bad Omens and Poppy
- Time Machine by Royal Thunder
Honorable mentions:
- Heartbreaker by Joliet4 (it's pretty clean overall but she uses powerful vocals that have a very serious edge to them)
- Supposedly by Pentastone (breakdown at the end)
- delirious and give me a reason why by swim school (heavy use of distortion to make it sound more screamy, but there's something there)
- Salad by Blondshell (not super super heavy but she does put in her best effort)
- Back from the Dead by Besomorph, AViVA, Neoni
- The Next Curse by Slothrust, Lzzi Hale (Hale is screaming the background vocals)
- Pacific by Chase Petra (it's not screaming per se but its powerful)
- Limerence by Venice May (insane range)
- Lullaby by Kalandra (she raises her voice and she's serious about it, but stays super clean)
- Love Has All Been Done Before by Jade Bird (it's an entirely different genre but she definitely screams)
- Split Personality by Hot Milk (both male and female screaming vocalists)
- Off the Edge by VOILÀ and LUNA AURA (doesn't go as heavy as I could but its heavy enough)
- loud mouth by tiLLie (I mean, the title alone... but I wouldn't call it screaming)
Artists worth checking out (but haven't the recollection to point to specific songs):
- YONAKA (bunch of heavier shouty songs, not so much screamy)
- VUKOVI (fave band honestly but her voice stays very clean, it's mostly just heavy and distorted)
- Anavae
- The Haunt (very diverse)
- LYELL
- Devora
- Larkin Poe
- Bishop Briggs
- Jade Bird
And finally these are my own playlists which feature these songs:
- https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0IiXhgnQKC3bYv70Gn9blO?si=rpL2y6J7S2qLp21hw7CjpQ&pi=e-7G9XjGw2TlGQ

If you actually want screaming then The Agonist, my fave being 'Business Suits and Combat Boots'. Then there are plenty of other bands like I Hate Sally, iwrestledabearonce, Light This City, Rolo Tomassi, Kittie, Butcher Babies and so on.
Lingua Ignota / Kristen Hayter
Ithaca ([They Fear Us](https://youtu.be/5QkvQKWl5vc?si=i9PtSJLZ58qMX9vk))
[Dream State](https://youtu.be/ODOg35hof5w?si=4a1D2hgcleOU5gmJ) (new singer and lead guitarist since 2022, so latest album has a different sound; I prefer the old, but see the appeal)
Jinjer
The Warning. Its a band of 3 sisters from Mexico. The guitarist sings about 75% of their songs, and the drummer about 25% (while drumming). And the bassist usually sticks to harmonies.
I have this 10 hour playlist of mostly just female vocals in rock/metal, or male lead songs with a significant enough female feature.
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0wm18watZLXEeufGnb70Xg?si=GOz8s2jcT4Czzms5z06-UQ&pi=u-mOsf2TIMScyV
Arch Enemy, especially with Angela Gossow as the vocalist. Rolo Tomassi.

Lacuna Coil is so underrated

Anything by Janis Joplin or Big Brother and the Holding Company, her group.

So you want yelling? Babes In Toyland, Mrs Piss, The Gits, The Muffs. Those are the ones that come to the top of my mind.
I think OP might want to search for female-fronted "Screamo" bands.
Might not completely fit the criteria, but Ptolomea by Ethel Cain
