2017 Update: Indonesian Hijab-Core!
 

Meet The Indonesian All-Girl Muslim Metal Band, VOICE OF BACEPROT
It's easy to say that Voice of Baceprot don't look like your typical heavy metal band, but it's true. I don't know many other bands composed of Muslim teenage girls from West Java, Indonesia...

The girls formed their band in 2014 when they met in school..."Wearing a hijab should not be a barrier to the group's pursuit of its dream of being heavy metal stars," said Firdda Kurnia, 16, who sings and plays the guitar. "...I feel I am still exploring my creativity, while at the same time, not diminishing my obligations as a Muslim woman..."

The girls have a few originals "on issues like the state of education in Indonesia" but mostly cover classics from System of A Down, Rage Against the Machine, Metallica and Slipknot. ...(T)he trio were invited to play their school's graduation ceremony...
