Voice of Baceprot are a devoutly Muslim all-female Indonesian thrash metal band hell-bent on shattering the genre's masculine image and misconceptions about Islam.

EmpressCallipygos that’s what I thought!!

I did a quick search wondering if there was any link/inspiration between the show and the band, and I found this clip of VOB reacting to We Are Lady Parts.

This is so cool. I know nothing about thrash metal but they are so clearly awesome.
