An Indonesian metal band comprising young Muslim women who wear hijabs has been gaining attention during their tour in Australia. The band, known as Voice of Bacerot, hails from conservative West Java and has been making music together since their high school days. Despite the band’s unconventional image for the heavy metal genre, they have achieved significant success, becoming one of Indonesia’s most popular bands.
Voice of Bacerot made history as the first Indonesian band to perform at the renowned Glastonbury music festival in the United Kingdom, showcasing their unique blend of heavy metal music and cultural identity. Their latest single, “God Allow me please to play music,” has garnered over five-and-a-half million views online, further solidifying their growing international fan base.
Comprised of members Firda Marsya Kurnia, Widi Rahmawati, and Euis Siti Aisyah, Voice of Bacerot has been breaking stereotypes and challenging societal norms through their music. The band’s fusion of traditional metal sounds with lyrical themes that resonate with their experiences as young Muslim women has struck a chord with audiences worldwide.
The band’s success highlights the power of music in transcending cultural boundaries and fostering inclusivity. By embracing their identity and expressing themselves through a genre not commonly associated with their background, Voice of Bacerot has become a symbol of empowerment and creativity.
As Voice of Bacerot continues to captivate audiences with their energetic performances and thought-provoking lyrics, their Australian tour serves as a platform to showcase the diversity and talent within the global metal music scene. Through their music, the band members are not only challenging stereotypes but also inspiring others to embrace their individuality and pursue their passions fearlessly.
