Trailer for the VBS.tv movie: “Heavy Metal in Baghdad”.
Synopsis:
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 around them while Acrassicauda struggled to stay together and stay alive, always refusing to let their heavy metal dreams die. Their story echoes the unspoken hopes of an entire generation of young Iraqis.
I just watched this last night, and was moved by the story behind the only Heavy Metal band in Baghdad. Inspirational, and at the same time, heart-breaking.. It really sucks to see these young people being dealt such a shitty hand in life, yet it’s awesome to see their effort to fight through the destruction that is a part of their everyday lives, as they strive to feed their passion for playing Heavy Metal music.
Suroosh Avli (for Vice): “How did you guys decide to start a Metal band”
Faisal (singer for Acrassicauda): “If you really want to know what the attraction is, look around. We are living in a Heavy Metal world.”
