Southern African heavy metal
Heavy metal is a truly global music form with amazing metal scenes all over the world, including Southern Africa. The Guardian has published this fascinating article about Botswana's metal scene including a photo gallery of metal fans which is rather Mad Max-esque. Heavy metal is a rather obscure and niche music genre in the country but growing steadily mostly through word of mouth. More photos from Botswana's metal scene including some leather clad fans can be seen here.
Check out this video by one of Botswana's metal bands Skinflint.
