Some of this is more punk or pop-punk.

Babymetal and Band-Maid.

Birthday Massacre, Within Temptation, Lacuna Coil, Eths, Infected Rain, Amaranthe

Check out Unleash The Archers

Spiritbox and Conquer Divide!

Spirit Box, Rolo Tomassi, Cellar Darling.

Poppy, more her new music than old. Some people don't like her style but it's not strictly just hard metal.

Otep

Jinjer

Battle Beast

I love Myrkur's stuff. How heavy it is varies widely from album to album, anywhere from straight traditional Danish folk music to the lighter end of black metal, but I like both ends of that spectrum

There's also Feminazgul, who I'm not super keen on but their name is so good that they deserve a mention anyway

If you're willing to go more the punk route, look into the riot grrl genre. Sleater-Kinney is a good starting point.

Brothers of Metal (despite the name). If you're into symphonic stuff, Epica and Beyond the Black are worth looking into. I also love Halestorm, but I think they're somwhere between hard rock and heavy metal.

Since i haven't seen it here and it's one of my favourite bands: iwrestledabearonce

Drain STH.

Cloud Rat

Female fronted, Halestorm

All female, Kittie

Nobody in here gonna mention Scene Queen?

Kylesa

Posting this here because the metal community seems to be entirely links to tracks and I'm not sure how well received this would be there.

All the users refrained from posting anything but links to tracks because the only users posting were just posting links to tracks and nobody wanted to make the first move.

Calva Louise is also good. The music videos are crazy cool

The Iron Maidens

More garage rock than metal/punk but the Pack AD is a lot of fun.

When I'm not yelling at clouds, I like Tsunami Bomb

The Warning

Arkona, Kontrust, Genitorturers. All from quite different subgenres.

This is not exactly my kind of music but I just wanted to say how cool this whole thread is.. you’re all amazing

Nobro is pretty good, they toured a bunch with Billy Talent so if you like that flavour of garage punk they might be up your alley

Nemophila

Blackbriar, Unleash the archers, Ad Infinitum, Spiritbox, Amaranthe

Mary Prankster. Tits and Whiskey.

Burning Witches is good

So female fronted metal is my jam. Your examples have a solid range, but here's some of my picks:

• After Forever
• Beyond the Black
• Ad Infinitum
• Delain
• Within Temptation
• Unsun
• Cellar Darling (and earlier Eluveitie if you don't mind male and female singers mixing)
• Amaranthe
• Stream of Passion
• Illumishade
• Lacuna Coil
• Leaves' Eyes
• The Murder of My Sweet

You'll find a ton of female fronted bands in what (I think) is referred to as "scandi-metal) (Sacndinavian Metal).

Synlakross is pretty decent but it's got both male and female vocals .

Castle Rat is a fantastic thrash metal band also (I think they're thrash. All the subgenres get confusing)

I don't think I've heard of In This Moment or Butcher Babies, I will check them out.

Meanwhile if you're not allergic to melodic BM, I really like Dämonik, example track: https://youtu.be/kRNHUFt8oPs So far they have two singles out and I believe they're working on an album. There is also old demo EP from 2018, but it's a little rough compared to these.

I'll try to check what else I've got that is all female / female fronted. I think there are a few more I like, but can't recall what atm

If you dig industrial, check out

• Youth Code
• Light Asylum

Jinjer is at least fronted by a woman

Lambrini Girls, a little more political punk than metal. A little lighter than that but mannequin pussy when you're feeling a little more melodic
