Metal music is forbidden in Iran, seen as a satanic cult.

Women can not sing in public.

The 5grs are the first Iranian thrash metal band to have a female singer.

This discriminant has caused serious problems for the band members.

During the twelve years of the band's life, 5grs have been threatened, arrested, the police entered in Pooyan's house when he was in Turkey, accused of being a satanist, and they beat his brother and his dog, destroyed his apartment and seized all the CDs. Pooyan was forced to stay in Turkey for four months to show that he is not devoted to Satan.

But despite all the 5grs have not stopped playing their music and in May they have finished recording their third album.

Always hidden within the walls of their houses or of their studio, they still continue to produce their music. Now the musicians of the band are trying to realize their dream, to be in Europe for a tour.
