READER-SUGGESTED METAL BANDS THAT HAPPEN TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE MEMBER WITH A VAGINA, PART 3: EMBERS

Thursday, November 12th, 2009 at 1:00pm by Axl Rosenberg




Alright, so Embers was not actually suggested to me by a reader – MS staffer Bob Cock told me about them. But they’re a good band and they have at least one and possibly two female members, so I’m writin’ about ‘em.

This is basically the kind of atmospheric, charcoal-black metal that (I think) Satan Rosenbloom spends a fair amount of time listening to. If you despise so-called “beardo metal,” you probably won’t like this – but if the bill to this year’s Scion Festival got you feeling all tingly where your bathing suit covers, than I imagine you’ll dig it.

There are some vaguely more symphonic elements  to Embers’ music than that of the bands I imagine they get lumped in with – I mean, they have a viola player, for Chrissake – but anyone who interprets “symphonic” to mean “Cradle of Filth-esque” is going to be sorely disappointed.

Check out Embers and let us now what you think in the comments section below.

  1. so what if this band had member(s) with an artifical vagina? would they qualify?

  2. Bob says:

    Memoria in Aeterna is a great CD. 6 tracks and they all kind of go from one into the next.

  3. no-ghost says:

    anyone say boris?

  4. Speedyjx says:

    Eths and Left Hand Solution both fall into the pre-requisite of having a female member, and both are fucking awesome.

  5. Nate says:

    What is it with women playing bass, and then playing really shitty basses? Are they just satisfied with crappy instruments?

  6. Jay says:

    Here’s a band:
    Asher

    Rather catchy metal-pop. NOT metalcore.

    I think they’ve broken up but they somehow just got signed. I dunno.

  7. Chris says:

    You Gotta check out Darzamat from Poland.Exxcellent shit there

  8. she looks retarded when she plays that bass

  9. badluckfistfuck666 says:

    Here’s another band w/ at least one member w/ at least one member w/ a vagina

    Laser Flames on the Great Big News(ex-members Today Is The Day/Christine)
    myspace.com/laserflames

    It’s like you took Kylesa & Kyuss,threw them in a blender & added just a hint of black metal to top it off.

    These cats aren’t talented enough to have a real singer. If you’re looking for great bands with real singers, check out Benedictum, Vainglory & Chastain (Leather Leone).
