Heavy Metal in Baghdad ist ein 84-minütiger Dokumentationsfilm von VICE Magazines` Online Fernsehsender VBS.tv, der die Band Acrassicauda vom Fall des irakischen Regimes im Jahr 2003 bis zum heutigen Tag begleitet. Das Dasein als Heavy-Metal-Band in einem muslimischen Land war schon immer eine fast unmögliche Aufgabe, aber nach dem Fall Saddam Husseins hat es einen kurzen Augenblick der Hoffnung im Irak gegeben, in dem echte Freiheit möglich schien. Doch der Krieg zerstörte diese Hoffnung ...
Follows the Iraqi heavy metal band Acrassicauda (Latin for a deadly black scorpion native to Iraq) from the fall of Hussein to their escape. Bred on American heavy metal, the band learned English by listening to Slayer, Metallica and Slipknot.
A entertaining and eye-opening pop-political documentary in which Vice journalists Eddy Moretti and Suroosh Alvi travel to Iraq in the hopes of locating the only heavy metal band in the country, Acrassicauda (named, of course, after a scorpion). Having played a great show following the fall of Saddam Hussein, the band is faced with the reality of staying together as their country falls into bloody insurgency. Acrassicauda refuse to let their heavy metal dreams die, and their story echoes the ...

This moving documentary hits the explosive, war-torn streets of Baghdad to profile AcrassicaudA, Iraq's sole heavy metal band. The film captures these likable, hard-rocking heroes as they struggle to make music against overwhelming odds. The film offers a unique view of the Iraq War, as well as a testament to the soul-lifting power of heavy metal.
COLLECTOR'S EDITION DVD OUT TODAY - http://www.heavymetalinbaghdad.com/buy.html Having spent the past five years covering the band and helping its members find safe refuge, we'd like to imagine Acrassicauda need no introduction. For those of you who weren't around during the Heavy Metal In Baghdad days, however, Acrassicauda is Iraq's first and greatest metal band.

Heavy Metal in Baghdad is a feature film documentary that follows the Iraqi heavy metal band Acrassicauda from the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003 to the present day. Playing heavy metal in a Muslim country has always been a difficult (if not impossible) proposition but after Saddam's regime was toppled, there was a brief moment for the band in which real freedom seemed possible. That hope was quickly dashed as their country fell into a bloody insurgency. From 2003-2006, Iraq disintegrated ...

It's not the country's most well known export or even - depending on your musical taste - its best. But a heavy metal band from Iraq has been building a steady international fan base. The group was forced to flee Baghdad during the war. And though they're now seeking refugee status in Turkey, their ultimate goal is to jam back home.
