The Holy Word welcomes this move from Hamdanistan but believes you have not gone far enough. We suggest you ban all music apart from religious songs. Our top scientists have proved conclusively that music promotes immorality and decadence.

The Free Land of Eyeflashia disagrees with the suggestion of The Holy Word, but welcomes the ban on boybands, and has the opinion that the Sultanate of Hamdanistan should also ban anything classified as "pop," "dance," "hip hop," "r&b" and any other kind of music that sells out or raps in their songs. Furthermore, listening to heavy metal music should be compulsory.

And you're classified as a "Free Land".

His Excellency conveys this message to the Glorious Free Land of Eyeflashia's government.

Heavy metal music is now pending review for inclusion into the Impure Music Act as banned music under a propose amendment. His Excellency considers heavy metal music to be "musical masturbation". Classic rock, progressive rock circa late 60s and early 70s (eg. Jimi Hendrix, Cream and Pink Floyd) and classic punk (eg. The Clash) are still deemed to be acceptable to His Excellency.
