This is a disturbing story that is now a documentary. You can also contribute to their cause at the website.

Yeah... its like in Iran. You play in underground clubs, and you can be fine for a while until their Secret Monkey Police (as I like to refer to them) decide that your heavy metal is a threat to Iran and its people and they come and shut it down. You just hope you aren't arrested/imprisoned/killed.

True Metal.

I talked to a guy in Iran a few weeks ago in a metal hub on DC...it was interesting hearing him speak about the state of metal there...it's easy to take the freedoms we have for granted.
