Heavy Metal in Baghdad

from Vice Magazine...

It is a story about a group of guys and what they have to go through in a war torn country to play in a band. The film documents everything from sneaking into Iraq for the story, followed by the segment about said metal band Acrassicauda, and what they have to go through living in Iraq as metal heads. In the final installment, the band has united in Damascus, Syria and play a reunion concert. We went to the show, hung out with them, and then recorded a demo with the band. Yes, a heavy metal demo in Syria! Something very rare. Even though they have fled war torn Iraq their trials and tribulations of being a rock band continue.

This is a unbiased story about war, people, and music and how they all impact each other.

"In the last eight months, despite the curfew, the four members of A.Crassicauda have kept on going to practice every night. This is why they are all more "metal" than anyone you will ever know. And not in the "Blackie Lawless is the World's Fifth Biggest Badass" VH-1 documentary way, you idiot. In a real, sustained, HOLLEEE SHIITTT METAL way. The music they played me was so ugly and doomed it made all those face-painted Norwegian black-metal fags who burn down old ladies' churches seem scary as warm chocolate milk."

That's an incredible story.

Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?
