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.
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.
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 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!
I saw the Film "Heavy Metal in Baghdad" yesterday and I am so happy to see this band still play - headbanging, with long hair and so much power! My deepest respect from Austria!
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
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.
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/
Holy fuck!! I saw the documentary from vice, and i couldn't fuckin believe it!! "A fuckin' heavy metal band from Iraq?? Holy shit, i gotta check this out". Lots of respect and love from Atlanta!!! I laughed, and was really happy when i saw they finally grew their hair out, too!! Fuckin' A, guys!!
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
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!!
Just finished watching the doc. Heavy Metal in Baghdad....I really respected the honesty ...and I won't forget their story! Awesome song BTW!!! Rock forever./..from Ottawa, Canada!
'When the night is dawn And the haze ruled the sky The death marched through the land I heard the angels cry I crave what's mine back All that I have known Now buried beneath The garden of stones" Oh my God.... :(((((((((((( Respect from Hungary!
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 :)
just watched "Heavy Metal in Baghdad" for the first time and am beyond fucking stoked as to how far Acrassicauda have come since the documentary! hails!!
@@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.
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.
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.
The energy of METAL bring us all togheter! The song has very good elements of their culture. Like Sepultura (in the golden years), here in Brasil... Testament t-shirt in 3:45
I saw the documentary about these guys. They survived the war in Bagdad, were able to emigrate to Syria (? I think) and recorded throughout all this. These guys have paid their dues in sweat,blood and tears to follow their dream. Now THAT's Metal!
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!
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.
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..
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.
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
The most inspirational Metal band to ever exist. Fighting against all odds to bring a taste of middle-eastern Metal to the farthest reaches of Earth. I have a profound level of respect for you guys. May you be blessed by the powers above in your afterlife.
Really awesome guitar and drum work ! The oriental melodies synchronized with the hard riffs just simply kicks ass !! Greets and horns up from Germany !!!
@xXDannyThePunisherXx I had no idea about where u from though i'm happy to know that some real talents came out of my country especially doin' some metal works and FYI i've not seen my country since ages.. Keep yourself updated concernin' these guys and so to let ya know that more talents will come out from IRAQ... \m/ rock on!
I'm not really a fan of metal, but I just saw the documentary about these guys and was blown away. I'm really glad they've managed break out with their music.
Wow, I watched the documentary of these guys yesterday. I'm very glad to see such an improvement in their sound, talents, and production. This song is awesome. I hope only the best for the band's future.
Good to hear that these guys finally have refugee status and were able to release their music. And I must say, there music stands on it's own even without anyone knowing there history, love the middle eastern influence on the solos.
Yeah, these metal masters from a land where bombs drop on a daily. Performed in secret and now we are so damn fortunate to be able to hear not only their story but this beautiful sound they create. ❤
Holyyyy Shxt. They are BEASTS! wooooohooo Watched the doco! 😢 Loveeeee you guys!!!! I'm ROCKN n' New Zealand soooo glad you're in NYC, so sorry for your country, families, friends, city! Aw. All the innocent Iraqi trying to survive❤
I really appreciate you, guys! I saw today the documentary about you back in Baghdad, and I'm verry happy hearing that your dream came true and you are free, and play your music! You rock!!!!!!!!!! \m/
I can only imagine the real-life influences expressed through these guys' music. Almost reminds me of Sepultura's grooves. It's great to hear a group playing what it wants to play. Acrassicauda rocks! Keep it up! \m/
I fucking love this song. Heard these guys first time when I watched the document "heavy metal Bagdad". I really got to respect whatever they've achieved!
glad to see these guys gettin up there, they deserve it alot more than any band out there with a contract, also glad to see us metalheads everywhere around the world!!! rock on my brothers!!! \m/
Well shit, I haven't listened to a single Metal band since I was what 16/17 max? Now, 10 years later I somehow find this band and I'm fucking HOOKED. DAMN. 😍😍
This is just badass, glad to see these guys are alive and kickin' ass after what they went through, I love this song, and definitely hope they put out a full-length album with this song being featured sometime. I'd so buy it in a heartbeat.

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

My deepest respect from Austria!
Respect from Turkey. Nice hard-hitting riffs with oriental sounds!
thanks bro
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!
Recording it on Viceland right now. Trying not to watch it to avoid spoiling myself.
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

Much respect from the U.S. You guys are great. DONT stop playing
Must be hard that your must watch video is actually when James gift them a Guitar... this band is very good, desrves more attention
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/
Greetings and great respect from America.

We in Iraq listen to metal since the 90s.
thats true my brother
since the 80s :)
Fucking A brother!
Seedo keep rocking, peace, love and metal always, from USA.
@Metal Music \M/ Hallucinations there were rock and metal bands in Iraq in the 90s bruh
lol my sociology textbook was talking about this band in a chapter on culture, pretty glad I found out about this
lol that's exactly the same reason I came here too dude
same ^^
good!
Bro here for the same reason. I was surprised by how much i liked it.
Bawesome Kid
And here in Iraq Itself ppl don't know Those Beasts and we study about some random Motherfuckers
I am Norwegian , from Scandinavia,living in Spain , i love this band
Holy fuck!! I saw the documentary from vice, and i couldn't fuckin believe it!! "A fuckin' heavy metal band from Iraq?? Holy shit, i gotta check this out". Lots of respect and love from Atlanta!!!
I laughed, and was really happy when i saw they finally grew their hair out, too!! Fuckin' A, guys!!
Thank you dude.
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
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
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!!
Brought everyone together too, regardless of religion ❤️
Just finished watching the doc. Heavy Metal in Baghdad....I really respected the honesty ...and I won't forget their story! Awesome song BTW!!! Rock forever./..from Ottawa, Canada!
They grew their hair out like they've always wanted to do!!! \m/
Metal will never die
'When the night is dawn
And the haze ruled the sky
The death marched through the land
I heard the angels cry
I crave what's mine back
All that I have known
Now buried beneath
The garden of stones"
Oh my God....
:((((((((((((
Respect from Hungary!

It’s my turn to introduce Industrial & goth metal with an Iraqi twist, something that would make Rammstein proud :)
I'm with you on this!
How the heck have I not heard these guys before!
I thought the same thing haha
I'm lovin' the percussions.
hetfield guitar ❤️
Thats true
just watched "Heavy Metal in Baghdad" for the first time and am beyond fucking stoked as to how far Acrassicauda have come since the documentary! hails!!
Beautiful construction!
The song is really well-layered and textured like a nice lasagne.
That's some heavy Metallica influence.
you should check the video where they meet hetfield and he gives them a guitar. it's amazing
@@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.
Metallica is their inspiration. They've almost been arrested in the middle east for playing metal.
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
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.
Blesavi Danac Listen to their new single from the new album Gilgamesh. Now they're awesome. :)
necrosatanico I agree. If the rest of the album is even half as good as "Rise" is, it will be a great album.
that riff men! 04:02 !!!
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.

Acrassicauda, you guys rock.
Did anyone see the 'Heavy Metal in Baghdad' documentary?
Metal unites all. Regardless of race, religion, creed, origin, whatever. You throw up the horns, you bang your head, you're one of us.
respect from Morocco . i wish i could see you here guys
Excellent!... Greetings from Brazil!
This is so fucking awesome!
Greetings from Norway!
The energy of METAL bring us all togheter! The song has very good elements of their culture. Like Sepultura (in the golden years), here in Brasil...
Testament t-shirt in 3:45
I just watched documentary called "Heavy Metal in Baghdad" and you guys are awesome! Respect from Finland \m/ !
nice iraqian men we loooove you
the solo brings tear in your eyes !

As human beings, my friend.
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..
These guys stand out hugely in their former culture. They had to escape from execution because of their length of their HAIR.
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.
I love how you guys incorporate sounds from your culture into metal. I've long thought middle eastern music had a place in metal.
Came here after watching a tiktok of Hatfield givings the guitarist a signed guitar of his. Awesome moment. These guys can play. Very cool.
I remember seeing this on headbangers ball years back now years later brought me back
Amazing song, Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷 🎸🎶

I bought the album months ago and still I listen to their songs everyday... EPIC
War can slow you down but if your hearts are beating then metal will keep living...Awesome guys...they are real Metal heroes !!!
Still blasting this in 2021
The most inspirational Metal band to ever exist. Fighting against all odds to bring a taste of middle-eastern Metal to the farthest reaches of Earth. I have a profound level of respect for you guys. May you be blessed by the powers above in your afterlife.
I love this, respect from America my brothers!

Good to see they made it to the US!!! I love the music. Throwback to old school thrash. Love it.
Pretty good example of how there are no boundaries of where amazing music can come from
I really like the opening riff, it's really melodic and strikes a cord in me right away.
Really awesome guitar and drum work ! The oriental melodies synchronized with the hard riffs just simply kicks ass !! Greets and horns up from Germany !!!
Up's from Brazil

Full respect from Seattle.

Perhaps the only thrash metal band who has feel war in their own flesh
Please add this song to Spotify
Good to hear that these guys finally have refugee status and were able to release their music. And I must say, there music stands on it's own even without anyone knowing there history, love the middle eastern influence on the solos.
this is definitively the best middle eastern bands i have ever heard.
This is why I love Metal there are no boundaries and strings attach is just music that is universal.....
@BlankTV
It's crazy how far they've come.
Hope they are still doing what they love. Amazing song 🤘
Excellent! No matter what language or part of the world you come from, we all know how to rock! 🤘🏻
This is great stuff. I am glad you guys made it out of there and are doing well. And this deserves 10X the vies it has now

I saw today the doc movie about the band, and checked the songs, and im impressed, this band is fucking rocks! Big respect from Serbia
