SOT, Eusi Siti Aisyah, Drummer (Indonesian): "We first listened to the music of the band System of a Down."
The myth-busting, all-female, thrash metal group Voice of Baceprot (VoB) let rip during rehearsals ahead of a major gig in Garut, Friday.
Vocalist and guitarist Firdda Kurnia, bassist Widi Rahmawati and drummer Eusi Siti Aisyah formed the band in 2014 and have built a fan base numbering in the thousands on social media.
The trio penned four original songs covering social issues like climate change and religious tolerance, making waves across the Asian continent and causing uproar along the way; they have received hate mail and death threats.
"Our love of music first came from our listening to 'Abah' Laptop and finding out that he is enjoyed listening to thrash metal" said Widi. "We fell in love with the music and started practicing and playing the music." Abah Laptop, also known as Abah Erza, is VoB's current manager.
The teenagers are practicing Muslims and don't see any contradiction between their faith and their love of metal music. With hopes to record an album and tour outside the country, VoB is smashing stereotypes, one at a time.
