Iranian Heavy Metal Album Termed A Success
AKI is reporting that Iranian heavy metal band KOHT MIAN has released its first album in Tehran to great success. The instrumental album, entitled "Eksir", has proved very popular with young Iranians who queued up outside local stores to buy a copy of the new release. Dancing and singing to Western music in the Islamic republic is punishable by flagellation and CDs featuring only music, without lyrics, often do not require authorization to be published.
The mind boggles.
