I probably canīt call them one of my favourite female-fronted metal bands (at least not yet), because until today, Iīd only read about them, yet never heard any song by them (except of one song played on a Dutch radio metal-programme somewhere in the late eighties/early nineties), but thanks to a link someone posted in the "Old School"-forum, I finally got a chance to download the "General Alert"-demo by the all-female Swedish metal band Ice Age.
They ceased to exist long ago, and in spite of the fact that they received a lot of positive response from magazines (as far as I recall) way back then (i.e. about 18-20 years ago) and played some successful concerts, they unfortunately never got to record an album.
For those who are interested, the "General Alert"-demo is to be found on this page:

(You have to scroll down a bit.)
Thereīs also a myspace-page, where you can listen to two songs, namely here:

Too bad that the song "Instant Justice" isnīt available for download, because I think itīs better than any song on the "General Alert"-demo.
I also found out that two videoclips have recently been posted on youtube:
Ice Age - "General Alert" (live, opening for Candlemass in ī88):
