Indonesia is not the ‘capital’ of death metal.

That is Finland.

But generally speaking hard rock and heavy metal and all these derivates are rather popular yes. Even so that a radio station as Most (they pronounce it as “moss”) dedicates the Saturday -so today- to that kind of music.

Nothing like the call to prayer interrupting Iron Maiden. Yes, I have heard it happen on that station. 105.8

Tunes from Iron Maiden call me to prayer.

I have never heard death metal on there and I listen to it a lot. Mostly hard rock on Saturdays. Think 80's metal but not just glam. A lot of songs on there there rarely get radio play anymore and didn't get much back in the day. They have a stream you can listen to on the internet.

Highway to hell actually covers the call to prayer quite well.

If you’re unlucky they play the Scorpioen or so and that will make you really run to the hills. Or the

But the big amount of AC/DC, Metallica, G&R and ….. yes Van Halen (as Indo boys) they play, makes up for that.

That call for prayer at 6 PM is at every TV and most radio stations btw. And if you’re in Bali, you will get it at 7 and a ‘Hindu’ version at 6.
