These guys can fuckin' play, it doesn't matter what religion you're from or which country you're from, metal is metal, pure and simple, I would love to hear more from these guys in the future.

[@giorgospapas3135]

Religion is fascism if you believe in religion go listen to N.S.B.M.

[@DingleDut]

But why did you bring that up? It's so stupid! Leave the talk of religion and race out of this because it has nothing to do with them.

[@macias7125]

[@smeagol7247]

Thats the thing I love about metal is it inclusive you got people playing metal in decile 1 schools music rooms to a teenage sons metal band playing in a mansion tormenting the Christian parents I mean for fucks sake the guy who created the hard rock sound was black.

[@samsoncooper1]

Just cos you don't agree with something, doesn't make it fascist. How about you go spend some time reading about actual fascism, then come back to us, embarrassed. I suggest looking at the Nazis, Mussolinis Italy and the views of Mosely or neonazism in the USA. Fascism like communism is an ideology that the ruling classes believed would be an alternative to a religion with ultimate respect being given the state rather than God. I would argue the USA is a hell of a lot more fascist than most religions. Corporate control, government can do no wrong, army can do no wrong, saluting flag, pledge of allegiance, massive oligarchs and business power, massive amounts of prisoners, civil discourse and riots dispelled violently etc.

[@TheMetalhead678]

Holy shit, this is the first time I've seen any metal from Iraq. O_O That's awesome.

[@TKthings]

+TheMetalhead678 you gotta watch their story. search for the movie in full on youtube. movie is - "heavy metal in Baghdad" it's incredible. they just put out their full album- self funded on kickstarter!

Heavy Metal in Baghdad,brought me here. Glad these guys were able to get to the U.S. and are able to do what they love doing. GREAT fucking song too!

[@brucenatelee]

Recording it on Viceland right now. Trying not to watch it to avoid spoiling myself.

[@tylerbarrani9898]

Ordered the physical copy of the film when I first read about them on rolling stone. It came signed, by the entire band. I’ve shared it with so many people

[@antoniusmaximus3174]

The amount of shit these guys had to overcome to get to this point. I have nothing but respect for them. This just shows you that its your attitude, perspective and entitlement that breaks up bands. These guys had to go through more shit than any American or European could fathom and they still are out there kicking ass. Good job guys.

[@noobhata]

That's some heavy Metallica influence.

[@marinabrom8086]

you should check the video where they meet hetfield and he gives them a guitar. it's amazing

[@clancularius84]

@@marinabrom8086 can you even fathom the feeling of a meeting a musician you probably have idolized since you first heard metal giving you his guitar. Dude I would've cried tears of joy. These guys are really impressive I think.

[@mathewberger3042]

Metallica is their inspiration. They've almost been arrested in the middle east for playing metal.

[@cooldewd35]

Death, war and killings are all themes that Metal bands love to sing about. These guys saw death...everyday of their lives. They lived it. They are the real deal. Respect from Melbourne, Australia. \m/

Thank you dude.

[@LoneWolf-wp9dn]

John Saul Whitehead even in the communist countries back in the day there were a few people who got their hands on music and magazines and culture from the west and they became interested in different things but they kept it hidden like some illegal religion... some managed even to live their dreams when they got some freedom

[@DnAfilms405]

John Saul metal music as a whole originated from the middle east as a movement. it's considered witchcraft and heresy and people are executed for it

[@coolcatrick3454]

John Saul There is tons of backlash against many of the middle east countries, but i don't feel prejudice, or ill will against anyone from there! I love the fact that there is METAL from every country on the planet, especially these guys from Iraq!! Rock on, Acrassicauda!! I will listen to lots of stuff from them!! They sound killer!!

[@mikaelsegerholm78]

I remember seeing they're documentary it's sad and yet they finally fuckin made it!!!!! The song is brutal like holy wow! The intro breakdown was epic

[@M0rket]

I loved the documentary. How can a band not be metal when bombs are falling in the background during an interview. They stay in touch with their roots, as well. They are not amazing, but they fucking worked for it. Hats off to them.

[@ElPerroMuchacho666]

Blesavi Danac Listen to their new single from the new album Gilgamesh. Now they're awesome. :)

[@toshineon]

necrosatanico I agree. If the rest of the album is even half as good as "Rise" is, it will be a great album.

[@marvinozb2920]

I am Norwegian , from Scandinavia,living in Spain , i love this band

[@mohthegreat]

I was trying out some metal songs from a neighbouring country & I have to say Acrassicauda ROCKS! Please remember these guys are from a country where any non-traditional music is strongly discouraged and actively opposed. So proud to be from this land! It’s my turn to introduce Industrial & goth metal with an Iraqi twist, something that would make Rammstein proud :)

[@leviathandiabolo6296]

I'm with you on this!

How the heck have I not heard these guys before!

I thought the same thing haha

[@Amadeus-ms9lt]

Beautiful construction! The song is really well-layered and textured like a nice lasagne.

[@GoPartyUS]

So they are not so different to us, aren't they? They suffer just like us, they enjoy the good stuff like us, and they have some shit to sing about, just like all of us. CONGRATS, GUYS!

[@MichaelMarion96]

they do not suffer like us Americans are you kidding? we're greedy capitalist pigs compared to there poor economy they live in controlled in the tyrannical government.

[@GoPartyUS]

As human beings, my friend.

[@Orc-icide]

Christian Ferreyra no not as human beings live in war torn Iraq for a little while, and you'll realize that you're wrong. these guys got death threats for doing amateur metal.. they were not allowed to be the human beings that we are..

[@takerdust]

These guys stand out hugely in their former culture. They had to escape from execution because of their length of their HAIR.

[@anthonymanuel2911]

they literally had to leave their hometown because western media is basically illegal and could've been killed for even listening to heavy metal. watch Heavy Metal in Baghdad and realize they suffer a lot more than most BECAUSE of their love for heavy metal. getting shittalked by keyboard warriors isnt quite the same as a scud missle demolishing your practice space with all your equipment in it.

[@blanktv]

Did anyone see the 'Heavy Metal in Baghdad' documentary?

[@reedallen4613]

I personally don't give a flying fuck what country a band is from, or what religion they believe in. This band OBVIOUSLY has Muslim roots/heritage, and they are PROUD of their heritage and RIGHTFULLY so. The Muslim faith is one that should be HONERED and RESPECTED by everyone in the SAME way that EVERY OTHER religion should be HONERED and RESPECTED, regardless of whether or not someone shares the same religious beliefs. This band reminds me of Slayer in their early days, simply because the bassist/vocalist looks similar to Tom Araya in appearance when he was younger. This band had ALL the potential in the world, and I for one would LOVE to see them have the SAME success and longevity that Slayer had. Just my own personal opinion anyway

Got to meet the band, have a smoke with Marwan and Firas after the concert on my campus. I also met Faisal and Tony, had a great laugh with them all. These guys are the nicest group of people I'd ever met, and I would give anything just to chill out with them again. It's amazing what they've been through, and they deserve more respect. Their passion is unmatched. I should also mention I heard them the day before the concert and they earned top 2nd band on my top 5. Acrassicauda, you guys rock.
