Soaring Highs and Brutal Lows: The Voices of Women In Metal

Soaring Highs and Brutal Lows explores the stories of some of the most notable female vocalists today as they continue their careers in heavy metal. No auto-tune here, each has honed their voice to extremes through years of formal training and practice; some are operatic sopranos, some use a death metal growl that would shame a grizzly bear; some do both. Each has achieved success in metal thru similar paths; persistence, hard work, and dedicated study of vocal technique. But success takes a toll and many pay a heavy price ranging from deteriorated immune systems to complete nervous breakdown. This film examines the stories of these singers and explores the nature of pursuing a dream on your own terms.
