04) A.A. Williams:

Perhaps not your typical metal sound, A.A. Williams’ brilliantly haunting melodies are just as intense as the heaviest guitar-rock piece. Deemed “doom gospel” by Louder Sound, her debut full-length Forever Blue pulls from her classically-trained instrumentalist background and adds in this dark sense of despair with her brooding lyrics and loose, flowy orchestral compositions.
