Playing Heavy Metal in a Hijab
The town of Garut in Western Java, Indonesia is a quiet place-that is, until Voice of Baceprot takes the stage. While most people in the town live tranquil, pastoral lives, teenagers Firdda, Widia and Euis thrash out and rock hard. The band has shot to fame for playing heavy metal in the religiously conservative country. After gaining popularity, VoB began to face criticism for performing while wearing hijabs. Still, they continue to shred-an inspiration for everyone with a little bit of music and a little bit of hardcore rebellion in their souls.

Hello from the future here. Now these 3 awesome girls are preparing their European Tour 2021 and gonna be sharing a stage with Slipknot on Wacken 2022🔥
I hope these girls get recognition, but not because they are wearing a hijab and also making this kind of music, but because they make music of quality, that's the path we should go by. They CAN play tho

Came to the comment section thinking that, there will be a lot of negative comments because they're muslims. But surprised and happy to see almost everyone supporting my fellow hijabi sisters. Thank you to everyone of you for taking your time and leaving some encouring beautiful words for them.💕 And to the fellow sisters, You go girls! You guys are are amazing at what you do. You make us proud.🧕🏽👏🏽💖
I'm surprised not to see the "true metalheads" (racist fucktards) commenting on this with their "elitist" snob bullshit and how to be "a true metalhead, you need to be white, racist, and act as an asshole to everyone around you". It will definately hurt the feelings of "the elitist ones". These girls are a true example of what rock'n'roll is about. Whether you label it rock/grunge/metal/punk/hardcore etc. They stand for something, they're playing in a band, despite the norms of their society! They trully are an inspiration! I wish them all the best and good luck on their musical journey.
THE TITLE IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!!! That's awesome... even though most of Metal has dark themes, its nice to see variety in the music industry... May they're band be prosperous!

Maybe you're playing some musical instruments..a guitar? Or bass or drums? Or maybe you can sing? I bet your friends are just plain jealous. Maybe. It's human nature. When someone sees somebody else better than him or her..he or she will feel jealous of that person etc.
This is frigging awesome. These women are amazing on several levels, the least being that they're an all female band playing a genre that's majority male. And they look like they're having an absolute blast. Keep going *_VoB_* I'll be looking out for you if you come to New Zealand, or I get to Garut. This has made my day.
For anyone who insist that Islam in general forbids music, a short google search will show you histories of Nasheed and Sufi music, existence of Yunus al Katib, the one who wrote the first Arabic music theory, and even musics from non-Arabic places such as Southeast Asia and Africa. Heck, if we go to the basics, adzaan itself is more than just a call, it is sung, by the ex-slave Bilal, and under the permission of the prophet Himself. Islam has many sects that have a varying degree of permissing or prohibiting music based on their interpretations, but saying Islam as a whole denies music removes the history and nuances of the religion and culture.

b king it could be. Adzan could have notes. It is not uncommon to have the the long parts of the vowels, like for example Hayya Ala Shol(Aaa) and Hayya Alla Fal(Aa), to have escalation and descalation of notes. How L(aa) Illaha could be sounded in a lower notes compared to the rest of the verses. A bit like the Swedish Sheep Calling (Kulnig) if I one could compare to other calling method. It is the case on how Adzan is presented in Maghrib Indonesian television, and the reason why adzan contest aren't just who can shout the loudest to wake Uncle Fadhil.
