I recently found this documentary and since I am a sucker for music documentaries, I said, let´s watch this one and see what this is about. Like in hardcore punk scene, metal scene is, I dare say even more sexist and misoginistic towards women and girls really had a hard time through couple of decades to succeed and be respected and recognized as artists equal and even better than their male counterparts.

This documentary talks about women, to be more precise women metal singers who talk bout their experiences and their accomplishments in the scene with their stories which are in many ways similar, yet different and inspiring, also beautiful. This one features Floor Jansen(After Forever,Nightwish,ReVamp), Alissa White-Gluz(Arch Enemy, Kamelot), Simone Simons(Epica), Doro Pesch(Doro, Warlock), Kobra Paige(Kobra and the Lotus)…What I love about this movie that it is told thematically telling basically same story from different angles or points of view at the same time creating similar story but told through the eyes of women who became such undivided part of the scene. I especially love the emotional part of Floor Jansen having suffered from burnout because I experienced something similar a while ago. Also, Alissa White-Gluz is one of my favorite singers, so hearing her story made me happy. What I always hated in the scene were flyers and adds or gigs which advertized ‘female fronted metal band’ or ‘female fronted hardcore band’-I mean, what the fuck is that? I always, always hated that syntagm which I find diminishing and sexist and I hope no one will ever use that again. Anyway, this movie was inspiring and fun to watch. So, if you have a chance, see it!
