Entheos’ Chaney Crabb Says She’s ‘Never Felt Division’ as a Female Vocalist in Metal – ‘I’ve Been Very Lucky’

Chaney Crabb joined Chuck Armstrong on Friday's edition of Loudwire Nights (Feb. 4). In addition to letting fans know they can expect new music from Entheos this year, she dove into what it's been like being a female vocalist in metal.

"I've never thought of it," she admitted. "I've been very lucky since the beginning, playing in bands when I was 13 years old. I was never 'that girl who does vocals' ... All of my friends in the local scene [in Des Moines], they treated me the same."

She emphasized to the Loudwire Nights audience that she never felt any type of division in music based on her gender.

"I'd watch women like Karyn Crisis or Laura Nickel just dominate stages and not be treated differently. They inspired me. They inspired the hell out of me."

When Chuck told Crabb there's no doubt that she, too, is inspiring young men and women out there with her energetic, one-of-a-kind vocal style, she was left a bit speechless.

"Well, thank you. That means a lot."
