Metal Queens
A Carnifex Metal Book Release 2008
If you requested the following information, I thank you in advance for wanting to participate
in the book release. If I am sending this to you blindly it is because you are a female
involved in either a Metal band or you are a female Metal fan and I am interested in getting
you involved in the project. If you know of any other female Metal musicians and/or fans
who you think would also be interested, feel free to forward them a copy of this information
as well!

Below you will find two different sets of questions, one for Bands and one for Fans. Kindly
Answer only ONE set of the questions for me!
Please answer the following basic questions with as much information as you can give.
The answers will be used as part of a book release called "Metal Queens", where we will
spotlight female Heavy Metal fans, musicians, record label personnel, etc. etc.

Also, please send back the questions with your answers… cutting and pasting them into the
body of an e-mail to CarnifexMetal@gmail.com is the easiest way.
NOTE: We also need the following items sent at the SAME TIME as the answers back... for Fans
and Bands we need 1-3 high-quality pictures of you (and also a band shot for Bands) with the
proper photo credit as well... we do not guarantee that we will use every picture, but answers
sent back without pictures will not be used for the book... sorry... for bands we'd also like a
short (2-3 parapgraph) condensed band bio to perhaps use as well to promote your band.
We will not be using every one of your answers, only a couple of the best answers, so make sure
you add as much to each answer as you can...
Finally, the book will focus exclusively on Heavy Metal Females... so we are looking for answers
that reflect that...
And feel free to re-post this and/or send it out to every female into Heavy Metal that you know,
as well as every Heavy Metal band with a female member... the goal is to get as many female
bands involved in the book, both established acts and newcomers.

So who wants to be in a White Christian Male Metal Book?

White? Yes, Christian? No, Male? Last time I checked, Metal? Yes, Book? No
So short answer yes with an if, long answer no with a but

I totally want to be in it

I want to be in it!! We female board members are awesome enough to be in a book.

Too true, we are all so metal

I think that we may actually be more metal than some of the boys.

I do agree.
Is there any possible way for us ladies to be MORE metal???
I think not

Maybe if we got like metal shoved under our skin.... but i doubt it would have that much of an effect.
