In the midst of enthusiastic cheers from the audience below, the Indonesian heavy metal band, consisting of 3 female members all wearing headscarves, delivered a captivating performance with electrifying guitars and strong percussion at the Glastonbury Festival in the UK. Despite facing opposition from their families and society's judgment, these girls persevered over the past 10 years, challenging stereotypes surrounding Muslim women in metal music. Inspired by American metal bands in high school, they aim to defy the conventional image of headscarf-wearing girls as delicate, launching their band 'Noise' to broaden perceptions. With a growing fan base in Indonesia and successful international performances in the US and France, they continue to advocate social issues through music and will release a new album addressing corruption, women's rights, and the environment.
