03) Konvent:
Heavy, throat-y singing is not just for men. All-female Danish doom metallers Konvent, who released their debut full-length, Puritan Masochism, this year, have incorporated this extreme sound into their music to rave review. Vocalist Rikke Emilie List’s harsh growl is impressive and at times evocative. The guitar work is brassy and dark, the perfect accompaniment to the vocals.
