Metal and rock has often been male-dominated genres, but we're here to pay tribute to the women who break the mold and tear it up with some of the best bands in the business. All of the women here bring aggression to their music and are here for one purpose: to rock. Some of the goddesses in here are bandmates, delivering highly energetic performances that bring another unique identity to their music.

The nominees for the Rock Goddess of 2015 are an exclusive bunch, spanning six bands. It's time to start voting in the 5th Annual Loudwire Music Awards and remember, you can vote once per hour through the deadline of Dec. 1 at 8AM ET.
