I've recently been finding a lot more female-fronted metal bands that I previously haven't heard of, and expect to see a few in the next week or so. First up, we've got Deadlock, a German five-piece melodic metal group that's refreshing to hear. "Virus Jones" is a number that's a little older, from 2011, and is some of their last work with old harsh vocalist Johannes Prem. Sabine Scherer is the lady behind the clean choruses, and together on "Virus Jones," they give us magic. Any band that can nail female-male-harsh-clean vocal work is one that has promise, and these guys obviously do. The two styles foil each other, and create melodic metal that's perfect for headbanging. The guitar work is also amazing, don't even get me started on that one. I suppose the lesson we've learned here is that there are always gems around every corner, and the digging is usually worth it.
