The Botswanan metal scene transitioned into its own subculture, symbolising escape for locals, who came from different villages, cities, and backgrounds.
What fascinates me is the cowboy aesthetic that they have going on with it. Fans and musicians wear cowboy boots and hats. I saw elsewhere it’s connected with the fact that so much of Botswana is ranch land/herding.
You can’t stop metal. It will always find a way.

Egyptian and Moroccan metal heads seem to take the cake for being “metal” - getting arrested by the government for how bad ass their music was.
