Seriously, are there any female musicians who play progressive thrash metal or progressive rock/metal. You see when I hear about female musicians in the media they seem to follow a typecast thing of either being folk singers or electro clash artists who are optionally kooky and it just bores and dissapoints me in that it seems that these are almost the genres they're confined to playing in and they have to be quirky etc even though its pretty fake. What I would like to see are progressive metal female musicians, this would be totally different and cool as folk, singersongwriter and electronica genres are crap.
Well, a guy I talk to sometimes on another message board named Dave Starr who used to be in Vicious Rumors has a new project called Wildstarr with a female vocalist who's really awesome. It's good power/prog/hard rock/metal type stuff.

And of course there's Arch Enemy. Other than that, I don't know. I don't actively seek out metal bands with chicks in them.
9 times out of ten it's either some kind of poseur-ish metalcore nonsense or some kind of gimmick(Ooooh, look, she's all tough and scary.).
