Nicole Willerton started talking singing lessons at the age of 7-8 here and there, but when she was 16 years old and onwards, she started doing them more frequently. She always enjoyed both listening to metal and singing rock/metal, with heavy belting vocals and fry screams, but it wasn't until 2021 where she really started developing my growls. She's been singing in metal bands since 2018. The first band she was in was called New Zone and they played alternative/symphonic metal. The guitarist and Nicole wrote a lot of music but didn't go on for that long unfortunately as they went separate ways. She then had a break from singing in a band and focused on writing music as well as doing vocal covers. Her vocal cover of Bastard by Devin Townsend was later featured on his reaction video with Metalsucks. In 2021 she was in the project Eyes of Nocturne, a progressive metal band from the UK, where they wrote music and performed live in England. Today she's the lead singer of the band SomnA. It was formed by her, the guitar player and bass player of Eyes of Nocturne. Other than singing metal in my band and doing covers she also sings vocals in the gothic/industrial darkwave group Dark from German. They play various festivals mostly in Germany but all over Europe. I also write vocals for trance music and other EDM genres.#Somna #nicolewillerton #metalqueen #metalfans #metal #symphonicrock #symphonicmetal #femalemetal #femalefrontedrock #femalemetalsinger

Since 2016, the band from Franconia has been impressing in the symphonic metal genre with the glamorous vocals of graceful frontwoman Tamara Amedov, accompanied by melodic, hard guitar riffs and sensational orchestral elements.With their new album: "Harrowing Insight", the band from Franconia, Germany, captivates the listener with cinematic orchestra & dark metal, but this time also with electronic, modern and especially groovy sounds. Add a pinch of oriental spice and you have a charismatic third studio album, recorded and produced by Timon Seidl at Red Audio Studio. Also on board was keyboardist Michael Rodenberg, known for his work with Angra, Shaaman, Luca Turilli, Rhapsody of Fire, Kamelot and Heavens Gate. This time he was also responsible for the mastering. As before, Olaf Reitmeier of Gate Studio, who has already worked with metal greats such as Avantasia, Kamelot and Epica, was responsible for the mix.With the opening song: "Wolfman", the band creates a grandiose successor to the popular and very first single: "She Wolf". The song is no less powerful and dark: "Sympathy for the Devil" tells about the Stockholm Syndrome in an imaginative, romantic and dark way. It also features the distinctive and strong voice of bassist Tim Zahn. The oriental song "Scheherazade" invites you to dance and tells the legend of the Persian princess Scheherazade, who was the only woman to stop the murderous sultan from killing her. Fucking Seducer" is pure female power! Tamara Amedov and Ambre Vourvahis from Xandria deliver a fabulous duet. Powerful screams and growls are mercilessly presented to the listener. The song "Psychopaths" grooves like crazy. Modern sounds meet heavy metal. Especially the catchy and rhythmic chorus is absolutely captivating. Bondage for the ears is the name of the game with "Super masochistic, so sadistic, feministic". Here fans get an intimate insight into a dark romance fantasy.#metalqueen #metalfans #metal #femalefrontedrock #visonatica #femalemetalsinger #femalemetal

Musicians with as many talents as Tara Lynch (nickname: “Gui-Tara”) are a rare find. The American multi-instrumentalist, who has both recorded and toured internationally, sings and shreds on guitar, as well as plays bass, drums and piano, in addition to composing all her own material. At the same time, she enjoys an excellent reputation among her colleagues and not only deployed her own skills on her debut album Evil Enough but was supported by international stars such as Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath/Dio), Tony MacAlpine, Phil Soussan (Ozzy Osbourne/Billy Idol), Mark Boals (Dokken/Yngwie Malmsteen, Ted Nugent), Brent Woods (Vince Neil/Sebastian Bach), Glen Sobel (Alice Cooper) and Björn Englen (Quiet Riot/Yngwie Malmsteen) as guest musicians.Tara Lynch, who has studied with Steve Vai (Frank Zappa, Alcatrazz, David Lee Roth), Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater, Black Country Communion, Joe Bonamassa), among others, relies primarily on inspiration and instinct, despite her accomplished technical skill: “What you hear is exactly what comes out of me without any pre-programmed ideas. I have lived quite a colorful life thus far and have lots of things to talk about, so when I write my music I just say it like it is. I do the same with my guitar playing. I’m not out there to impress anybody, just to tell my story and hope that people enjoy what they hear and can even relate.” #taralynch #metalfans #metalqueen
