This article focuses on female hard rock and (heavy) metal artists largely marginalised in previous national research on the anthropology of popular music. The current state of research is presented in a context. Selected topics are discussed related to the artistic practices and image, the multidimensionality of the voice, the category of the body, and the aesthetics of the aging of female artists. The (heavy) metal culture is analysed in the context of exhibitionism defined in a non-reductionist manner not only as a kind of sexual paraphilia, but more broadly as a tendency (at times excessive) to reveal personal and intimate details to others, expose one’s self, and in some cases also one’s body. The text focuses on Girlschool, the British longest-running all-female rock band whose career can be viewed from the perspective of longue durée, and Otep, an American band synthetically characterised through its leader’s political manifestations represented on the album Kult 45 (2018). The careers of the both bands are analysed in terms of the dominant metal masculinist paradigm, as well as from the perspective of ideological discourses and the (trans)media logic of convergence culture.
