List of Female Metal Bands - Part 1

Mit dieser Serie möchte ich euch in jedem Beitrag 10 Symphonic, Gothic oder Power Metal Bands vorstellen. Das geht etwas schneller, als jeder Band einen eigenen Post zu widmen und ich möchte möglichst bald eine große Anzahl von Bands auf diesem Blog ansammeln. Die Zahlen vor den Bandnamen dienen übrigens nur zur Aufzählung und haben keine weitere Bedeutung. Für den ersten Teil habe ich 10 der meiner Meinung nach bekanntesten Bands ausgewählt. Weitere folgen bald. 

In this series I would like to introduce 10 Symphonic, Gothic or Power Metal Bands in each post to you. This is way faster than giving each band a post on its own and I would like to get a huge collection of bands on this blog as soon as possible. The numbers in front of the bandnames are just enumerations and don't have any further meaning. For this first part I have choosen 10 of the most popular bands, according to me. More bands coming soon.
