Iranian Metal Scene

March 27th, 2007

I was watching an interesting documentary the other day, which served to emphasis how fucked up the Iranian theocracy is. CuttingEdge: Forbidden Future was a revealing documentary on the subcultures in Iran; three Iranian artists expressing themselves through music, paintings and sport.
