With conditions of a war building up in Syria, the youth wanders aimlessly on the streets, many join the rebel forces, but many resort to vent out the hatred through music. And the best way to bring out the hate inside is by playing heavy metal music.

The condition of Syria is equivalent to that of a pressure cooker, and that is what is the name of a Syrian rock band "Tanjaret Daghet" or pressure cooker in Arabic. The band is set to release their debut album "180 Degrees." The first single by the Syrian rock group, titled, "Taht El Daghet" or "Under Pressure" is described as "our perpetual state of being" as described by the band.

"If you don't let the steam come out, there will be an explosion," says Khaled Omran, lead vocalist, bassist and guitarist of "Tanjaret Daghet" to Al-Monitor.

The musicians say that they are not "revolutionary" and have no intentions to prove a point or two.

"We didn't wait 20 years to start talking about this. We had these problems all along. We don't sing against [Syrian President Bashar] al-Assad. We expressed how we lived in Syria and why we moved," Omran explained, who is pissed by the political and ethnic blots of the so-called 'bloody conflict.'

The band moved to Beirut in Oct. 2011 in order to escape the military service and pursue their passion, music. The Lebanese music industry is much stable than Syria's. The band members went through a lot of torture; one of their musician friends was shot dead with a bullet in his head. Even leaving Syria hasn't eased their pain as the Syrian intelligence authorities constantly spy and check on them in Lebanon. Sadly, Omran revealed that if he had been in Homs and seen his daughter get molested, he would put down his double bass only to pick the instrument of death, as reported by Al-Monitor.

It is not easy to pick up an instrument and play it in Syria as musicians don't have rights. They need permissions from the authorities to organize a concert.

But all these trials and tribulations cannot deter a metalhead or a metal musician. According to The Metallum Encyclopedia, there are 22 metal acts in Syria, most of them are active and making bone-crushing music. Not only musicians, there are lots of metalheads who are pissed off because of the conditions prevailing in Syria and feel great when they attend a metal concert.

"It's the voice when I'm mute. It screams what I can't scream out, it's liberty and freedom. It accepts me with all my flaws my, actions, my character, my past," said Sara Yassin, 19, one of the admins of Arab Metalhead Girls - Yes We Are, a Facebook fan page, to Al-Monitor.

We salute the spirit of these young musicians and music lovers because of them, the spirit of heavy metal will never fade away.
