Terrible...I bet some of the people who initially supported the fall of the Shah is now pretty sorry they did . Ultra religious people who tell other people how they should live their lives make me sick

Western music is illegal all over the Islamic world. It just depends how harshly the government enforces the law. That's part of the reason the US army used Metallica and Twisted Sister to torture Muslim prisoners- it is just so foreign, blasphemous and unfamiliar.
If you haven't seen the documentary called "Global Metal", I seriously suggest tracking it down. It shows the plight of metal fans in some of these seriously repressed countries. In some countries this sort of thing happens a lot, while in other Muslim countries like Indonesia metal is huge.

Rumor has it this is almost completely unrelated to playing heavy metal, it's because of the radio station thing

It looks like Confess are no longer going to be facing execution, but still have some troubles: http://loudwire.com/iranian-metal-band-confess-no-longer-facing-execution/
I hope these guys get things sorted out, I'm glad they're safe for the time being though.
