Welcome to the Female Fronted Heavy Metal Compilation, an attempt at exhaustively documenting female fronted metal bands who recorded at least one heavy metal track before 1990, with exceptions being noted below. Inspired by a similar project undertaken in the mid 00's with punk and hardcore, I decided to put together the metal equivalent earlier in the year. As this compilation attempts to document True Metal, bands whose recorded output solely leans too far towards pop/hair metal, AOR, new wave, punk, or hard rock have been excluded. In an attempt to define the boundaries of the compilations scope, a few of the bands that have been excluded for being non-metal are:
glam/hair: Vixen (the Los Angeles band), Amazon, Bang & Out, Femme Fatale
hard rock: Corbeau, Birtha, Diamond Lil, the Runaways (and Joan Jett)
new wave/AOR: Pat Benetar
punk/hardcore: Nausea, The Comes, Vermillion
However, included are bands who otherwise played non-metal such as Heart, Dead End 5 and Babel, but recorded at least one metal track during their career. Bands are not excluded due to questionable ideology, artistic integrity or financial motives, and this simply serves as a list of bands who played music that compositionally stands within the heavy metal genre, and does not attempt to place a value judgment on the bands themselves. For approximate borderline benchmarks of heaviness in regards to what should and should not be included, I used Deep Purple for 70s hard rock, Motley Crue for the sleaze/hair material, and the first Sacrilege LP for punk/hardcore. Obviously this is subjective and there is still some grey area, but I think this is quite representative of the genre in its formative years. Once this list becomes more finalized and solidified (possibly mid 2011?), I intend to publish an annotated discography zine accompanied by hard copies of the CD-rs. The digital files are below, so enjoy the music!
This is a work in progress and will be continually updated when new information comes to light. If you know of any bands that should be on here that are not, or can help out with a rip or a record sale, please leave a comment.

[1] Just a guess on the date - the "GIV vol.0" VHS is from 1987, but this is from a different show
[2] Next to nothing is known about this band, including when it was released. Probably early 80s based on the sound.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/nccrtk93g8y1nm1/dysqq7.rar
[4] Unknown origin - The Corroseum states that comp was mostly UK heavy
[5] Theres a bit of confusion as to when this came out. Internet sources widely vary in date; Metal-Archives says 1989, however, the track "Prey 4 Peace" from this demo appeared on the Life is Boring So Why Not Steal This Record compilation from 1983. Other sources give a date range from 81 - 83. To further add to the confusion, most of the sources on the net have this band confused with the Hari Kari from New York who were produced by Eric Carr in the late 80s.

NOTE: I had to remove the Doro track because Mediafire kept flagging it for copyright. I assume everyone already knows who she is anyways. I might replace this with something else in the next couple weeks if I remember (12/19/2016).
[6] The 7" was released in 1990, but tracks on the 7" were originally taken from the "Dead" demo recorded in 1989
[7] Obviously taken from vinyl, when was this released?

20. P.U.S. (Bra) - "Military Nightmare", Third World split LP with Sextrash, 1993 [12]
http://www.mediafire.com/?6i2tjpxgjxfg84v
[9] The compilation track was sourced from the "Strašidlo z Canterville" demo, recorded in 1989.
[10] Placeholder track until I can find the 1988 demo which contains the track "Wasteland" as well as five others
[11] Placeholder track until I can find 1989 rehearsal
[12] The 7" was originally released in 1990 with three tracks and later reissued as a split with Sextrash in 1993. "Military Nightmare" was not on the original 7", but presumably from the same session. I'm unsure on when the tracks were actually recorded, some sources say 1989, and some say 1990. The band released at least two demos in the 80s, so it would be nice to have tracks from them, but until then, this serves as a nice placeholder.

http://www.mediafire.com/?mfr7a7a9d7tqpai
[13] What is the name of this track? When was this recorded? Is this even Prepúcio?
[14] When is this from? The song "Išvarymas iš Rojaus/Adomai būki žmogumi" is supposedly a metal ripper, I need to hear that as the rest of the LP from 1988 was very hard rock. I'm assuming this was a bonus track on a CD reissue of that? and is possibly from before?

[15] Placeholder until I can find the Ruusutarha 7".
[16] Recorded "Wake Up Your Mind" demo in 1987, and was on "Heavy Metal Force - Summer Special Vol. 1" comp tape, 1988. They stuck around at least as long as 1990, another version of "Bang Your Head" with a different singer was broadcast on TV.
[17] Center labels have copyright of 1984 - I assume the music was recorded then and the LP released in 1988.
[18] Placeholder until I find one of the 80s recordings (if any exist?).

[19] Possibly the same version from the LP? Placeholder until I find track from their 89 demo.
[20] Placeholder for now - two prior releases. ”We Came 2 Rock” 12", 1987. $70 - 150 range on Popsike. "Raise your Voices" b/w "Rain" 7", 1989 - appears even rarer. "Rain" appears on the "Count Your Blessings" LP, but is a kind of lame power ballad, so it was excluded in favor of a more metal sounding song. "We Came 2 Rock" is supposedly AOR, is the track "Raise Your Voices" metal at all?

[21] The band originally recorded and released this under the name "Squealer" but shortly afterwards changed their name to "Silent Strike" and distributed copies of the demo with the new cover and name. Squealer recorded an LP in 1984 (I have no information on this other than the fact that it exists) and with the addition of Charlotte Nordlander/Marion Fynke (also in Cronos Titan briefly - see Disc 14) changed their name in 1990. As the tape I pulled this from bears the name Silent Strike and the name is probably more representative of this period in the band's history, I decided to use that name for the purpose of this compilation.
