Egypt’s Heavy Metal band, Massive Scar Era, which is predominantly made up of women and led by Sherine Amr, performs their “Between the Waves.”

Live at the Sakiya in Zamalek:

The band members were involved in the 2011 revolution but later protested against its “commoditization,” and were unhappy during the Muslim Brotherhood period.
