About Us

What is FemMetal?

FemMetal (Feminist Metal) is a online feminist music website with the main goal of promoting female musicians in the genres that fall under Metal and Rock.

Why Women and Why Metal and Rock?

Throughout history, women have faced oppression in nearly every society. From female infanticide to witch hunts, the world has rarely been just to them. Even today, in the most developed nations, laws continue to restrict women’s rights, while advertisements, mainstream media, and cultural norms often reduce them to mere objects of desire. The fight against misogyny is far from over—it has always been, and still is, a battle that must be fought.

Rock and Metal have long been the voice of the unheard, giving rise to rebellious ideas and defiant expression. Yet, despite embodying power and resistance, these genres have not always welcomed female artists. Many fans, clinging to outdated notions, have attempted to exclude or even attack women in Rock and Metal. As passionate fans of the genre, we stand against this prejudice by championing women in Metal and Rock—because their strength and defiance are not only vital to music but to the fight against all forms of discrimination.

What do we do?

We champion female Rock and Metal musicians by featuring them in news, interviews, reviews, and reports, giving their voices the recognition they deserve.

Beyond music, our authors advocate for women’s rights, challenge feminist issues, and celebrate achievements on occasions like International Women’s Day.

We also strive to build a strong community—connecting fans, supporting emerging artists, and honoring female musicians through events like the FemMetal Awards.
