ABSTRACT
Garo Gdanian is the founder and guitarist of death metal band Weeping Willow. We sit in Garo's small car, heading to Adma, a village north of Beirut. I am invited to attend a rehearsal by Weeping Willow. Marco, bass player of the band, joins us. We stop at one of the supermarkets on the highway to get beer: “We play music, we drink beer, we enjoy,” Garo tells me. Back on the road, we pass the Christian-dominated town of Jounieh with all its super-nightclubs. Soon, we drive up the hill to Adma.
