My quest to listen to more harsh female vocals continues with Aephanemer, a French symphonic melodeath band helmed by Marion Bascoul. Since
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:
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.

- 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.
