In honour of Iron Maiden's new release, I present to you the only female-fronted metal band that has ever reminded me of the aforementiond British greats: Luna Mortis.
I found these guys (and gal) browsing through YouTube one wintry afternoon, and was surprised to hear very Maiden-esque guitar parts, and (curiouser and curiouser) something that sounded remarkably like a female Bruce Dickinson. Granted, there already is a cover band called the Iron Maidens, but Luna Mortis does its own thing in high gothy fashion, with a bit more screaming than I entirely like sometimes, but still, I have to give Mary Zimmer credit for not conforming to the stereotype of most poppy or high-pitched female singers.
