1. Name: CLARE WEBSTER

2. Bands you’ve played in:
Edenfall (Gothic Doom Metal) - Lead Vocals (2009 - Present)
Spekulus (Industrial Metal) - Bass Guitar (2008)
Her Blackened Rose (Dark Ambient) - Pretty much everything (2007 - 2011)
Wytch (Dark Ambient / Neo-Folk) - Pretty much everything (2012 - Present)

3. What are your favorite songs to perform live?
My favourite out of the Edenfall songs to perform live has to be ‘Beauty’. We usually tend to play this one at their end of our live set’s for a reason! It’s a great one to get lost in whilst you’re performing, and I always feel great moment of achievement when I manage to hit the right note in the chorus during the key change at the end - it is VERY hard to get that one spot on, but it’s a great feeling when you do! Another of my favourites is ‘Obsidian’, predominantly just because it always seems to be a crowd favourite. It’s probably our catchiest song so far - not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing! My ultimate favourite to play has to be our covering of ‘The Gathering of Flowers’, otherwise known as ‘Persephone’, by Dead Can Dance - just because it’s pure awesomeness and I am so in love with that band!

4. Did you have many female rock idols growing up? Who were they?
I first discovered female fronted metal when I was around thirteen, and became obsessed with the likes of Amy Lee, Tarja Turunen and Sharon Den Adel - I guess they were the main influence on me to pursue my singing, and I guess the sound of their voices has had a lot of influence on the shape of mine. Musically, I have actually been more influenced by folk / ambient female musicians such as Lisa Gerrard (Dead Can Dance) and Loreena Mckennitt. A lot of the music in my solo projects (Her Blackened Rose and Wytch) have been greatly influenced by these two incredibly musicians and singers. At the moment, I’m currently loving the voices of Carmen Susana Simoes (Ava Inferi), Cadaveria and Heike Langhams (Draconian).

5. Your advice to women and girls who want to start their own metal band is….
Be prepared. There seems to be a lot of elistist metal fans and other musicians out there who seem to be against female metal musicians in general, and who automatically seem to assume that if you are a singer, then you must have no musical talent or be able to write your own material. If you do come across people like this, ignore them and show them what you’ve got! Apart from that, another important thing to remember is just to be yourself, do what you want to do, and don’t let anybody tell you to be someone different. Cheesey, I know - but it really helps!

1. Name: PATRICIA KILLELEA

2. Bands you’ve played in:

Valley of Thorns (2012-Present), Morituri (2005-2007)

You can hear Valley of Thorns at valleyofthorns.bandcamp.com

3. What are your favorite songs to perform live?

My favorite of ours would have to be “Bereaved Amongst the Shadows”—
not just because it shows our range (doomy breakdowns, fuzzy-crunchy
riffs, stoner grooves, and blackened vox), but because it also runs
the gamut of human emotions: anger, sorrow, awe, finding solace in
nature, etc.

4. Did you have any female rock idols growing up? Who were they?

When I was growing up, I’d have to say I was inspired by women in rock
like Kim Gordon, Courtney Love, and Siouxsie Sioux. In more recent
years, I’ve been following the work of Lori S., Liz Buckingham, and
Dana Duffey.

5. Your advice to women and girls who want to start their own metal band is:

I’m lucky enough to have friends with whom I work very well, so I
never had to go out and try to find people to play music with. In
general, though, I think that you should start writing songs on your
own instead of waiting for others to come along. One thing I learned
from my poetry career is that you can never make art that EVERYONE
will love—who would want that anyway? Don’t worry about who or what
you want to sound like. Instead, sound like yourself and play what’s
in your heart.
