My quest to listen to more harsh female vocals continues with Aephanemer, a French symphonic melodeath band helmed by Marion Bascoul. Since [personal profile] walgesang  mentioned an interest in music videos, I checked theirs out to see if there was anything worth plugging on its own merit. My conclusions are as follows:
  1. The music is fucking beautiful and I'm going to be listening to it a lot. Twitter says they have a new album coming soon, so that's exciting.
  2. The videos hold nothing of interest for anyone who doesn't already resonate on a deep emotional level with the sight of European metalheads headbanging in unlikely wilderness locations.
  3. Oh fuck, Marion Bascoul is gorgeous and I have a hopeless crush on her now.
I have a type, okay? I can't say no to black-clad people with lank dark hair, sullen energy, and hooked noses or otherwise starkly angular facial features. I just can't. This is the same reason I'm hot for Kylo Ren, Trilla Suduri and Lousine Gevorkyan. It's why I controversially find Loki most attractive in his Ragnarok "witch" outfit, and why I'm the only person in the world who stans Proxima Midnight. If you have a fave of any gender who fits this description, rec them to me no matter how obscure and I can all but guarantee you a new convert.

Here's Marion Bascoul at the front, being bae and triggering my 'do I want to bang you or be you' paradox of same-sex attraction to its absolute most confusing max:



I'm obsessed with her hair. It's a very similar colour to mine - a little more streaked - but I've been so self-conscious about my premature greying and this new crush has caused me to tentatively rethink it. Maybe I don't have to dye all the time. Maybe instead of waging a losing war against the unstoppable passage of time, I too can live my truth as a badass metal lady with natural salt-and-pepper roots. Food for thought.
