Female-Fronted Doom (and related gloomy genres)
The Omegashift thread got me in the mood for some female-fronted doom which while gaining a lot of popularity in the secular scene, is pretty slim-pickings in the Christian scene. What are some good female-fronted doomy/gloomy bands y'all like? (Let's keep this thread specific to doom and related genres, since Nightwish-influenced "symphonic" and "gothic" bands are a bit more common.) Some I greatly enjoy are:
Omegashift, as already mentioned. Less than a week until the debut is released!
Of Withering Ashes. To my knowledge, they only ever released four songs on their website (which were free to download but have since been taken down). Their vocalist also sang backing vocals on Implacable's material (another criminally underrated band!). They're now a band of one guy who's working on new material.
Leonov. Not strictly doom, but I find myself listening to them a ton. They mix doom, post-rock/metal, and avant-garde to create some really fantastic music.
BONUS: Warpriest (select songs). While most of the vocals are handled by Robert aka Deathisgain, his wife Elis sings on a few tracks and does a really great job. She'll be singing on album #3 too which I'm eagerly anticipating hearing!

Have you ever heard Stars That Move?
They have members from Star child but are female fronted.

I have, but it's been a while. For some reason I dismissed both bands as ones I'd want to purchase material from but I don't remember why now... I think the main guy and/or his label was posting a bunch of stuff on FB that seemed quite un-Christian and foul, marijuana-related, or something to that effect. Don't take my word for it because that was a while ago and I don't remember specifics, but there was something that put me off.

Stars that Move was the first that came to mind for me. Beyond that, I really don't know of many.mothy wrote:Have you ever heard Stars That Move?

Never listened to Leonov before, that's really good.

Thanks for the links Kerrick.
Leonov is very interesting. My favorite of the bunch.
Sounds like it would be great background atmosphere.
That Warpriest track was pretty cool as well.

^I'm glad you guys like! Yeah Leonov pretty quickly became one of my most-listened-to bands. Both of their albums are excellent and it's cool to see bands like them in the Christian scene doing something a little different and breaking the mold - instead of resorting to being a "Christian alternative to [secular band name]."

That's a good find! I hadn't heard of them before. Do you happen to know if their CDs are available anywhere?

If your talking about "In the Image Of" nope I couldnt find anything for CD's. Looks like it might be available via digital on iTunes though

I really liked the doom tinged thrash of Ordained Fate back in the day.

Hi--I just bought the Leonov and 2 warpriests! I would have gotten True Wisdom but they did not have physical CDs. Thanks for the info, folks.
