Recenzii

“Part oral history, part bite-size political history, and part travelogue. . . . Crowcroft introduces us to bands like Lebanon's Damaar and Creative Waste from Saudi Arabia, both of which share the experience of being persecuted for the simple crime of loving rock music. The book is also an intriguing window into how class, culture, and religion play into these scenes—whether it’s Saudi bands angrily dismissing black metal’s anti-religiosity, or the differences in how the Christian East and Muslim West of Beirut prefer their metal (‘If [East Beirut] are Iron Maiden, we are Venom,’ Lebanese musician Tex explains).”

“Crowcroft’s book is a fine contribution to a growing literature on popular culture in the Middle East, providing a valuable, seldom-given glimpse into atheist, antiauthoritarian, and anti-religious counter culture.”

“Rock in a Hard Place tells the story of a ceaseless struggle for people to see art thrive in the least likely places, despite any and all odds.”

“Black Metal, Islam, war zones —and a great shock of humanity. Orlando Crowcroft goes where no other writer has even thought of going before and brings back an improbably remarkable story.”

"A fascinating insight into the impossibility of repressing everyone no matter how fanatic you may be. It is surprising that more heavy metal rockers do not get stoned to death.”

“Going to jail for liking a band like us, that's taking chances… It's shocking to hear that someone had to suffer and risk his life for nothing but a love of music and a passion for freedom of speech.”

“Rock in A Hard Place is a must read for any musician—specially those involved in the underground. An inspiring report on the power of music to unite human beings in the face of adversity.”

“Crowcroft’s book is a revelation into the torture, oppression and imprisonment metalheads stand up to, just so they can be metal in the Middle East. This book is a must read!”
