Indonesia is the biggest Muslim country in the world. It also counts more than 1.500 metal bands – a lot of which include women. Three “metalheads” are doing everything they can to reconcile music and religion.

Under Muhammad Suharto's capitalist dictatorship this kind of music was forbidden. Nowadays music festivals are held regularly throughout the whole country – except in Banda Aceh in the archipelago's far north where sharia law is applied. However the President Joko Widodo himself – elected in 2014 – is completely upfront about his passion for “heavy metal”.
