Description
Acrassicauda is a thrash metal band from Iraq, and are also credited as the first heavy metal band from Iraq. They played music under Saddam Hussein's regime, which meant that there was a lot of censorship included (no headbanging, lyrics that praised Saddam, etc.) After Saddam was overthrown however, they basically gave the censorship a big FU and began playing what they wanted. They were featured in a documentary film called 'Heavy Metal in Baghdad'.
They were granted refugee status in U.S. because of death threats from muslims in Iraq who thought they were devil worshippers. (seriously, why do hardcore religious people always believe heavy metal to be the music of the devil?)
Anyway, these guys are pretty good and I would highly recommend them to anyone who like thrash metal.
