Vice have just put up online their ‘Heavy Metal in Baghdad’ documentary which follows the only metal band in Baghdad, Acrassiauda struggling to exist- together as a band and individually on a daily basis. Not surprisingly this much talked about documentary is definitely worth the watch.
James Hetfield (the hairy ginger one) from Metallica once said “Authority pisses me off. I think everyone should be able to drink and get loud whenever they want” which pretty much sums up why Acrassiauda keep on going.
