Heavy metal is rebel music ... in Morocco!!!

Heavy metal is known as rebel music - and that is particularly true in Morocco.

"Metalheads" have been accused of being devil-worshippers, and even locked up because of their passion. 

But Youssef Benseddik, a student who heads the heavy metal group Atmosphere does not seem particularly rebellious. 

"Our Moroccan culture is based on Islam, on music that is not noisy, on lyrics that talk about the prophets and Allah," he says. More+BBC video...
