Reborn

Reborn is a death metal band from Morocco. The band was founded in 2002, and after some initial local success became known more for political than musical reasons, when in April 2003 a Moroccan judge sentenced nine heavy metal musicians from Reborn and two other bands as well as five fans to jail time (between three months and one year) after they were found "found in possession of skeletons, skulls, cobras, vipers and 'a collection of diabolical CDs.'" In April, a Casablanca court cut those sentences for three of the nine musicians to 45 days, and acquitted the eleven others. more »
