  I wish I would have known about these guys when we were all in Baghdad. I had a killer studio in Baghdad. I would have recorded them for free. If they somehow make to the states I still would.

  get that #### on itunes and provide an option at the end for people to click over and spend a few bucks buying their songs. just make sure all profits go straight to the band. how hard can that be? and what a great way to support the first ever Iraqi heavy metal band!! cried several times watching this. peace. -hbmike.

  I don't really listen to heavy metal, but with ACRASSICAUDA, I couldn't help but listen. There music means so much to them, and I think that is what brings so much life and emotion to their music. Even if you don't connect with the genre, you have to respect their music.

  This doc tells a bitter-sweet story we should all hear. And see. Whether we like heavy metal or not. It's both simple and extraordinary, warm-hearted and chilling, always mesmerizing. Acrassicauda is the band's name ("Cauda" is a desert scorpion = "A crass Scorpion"). The four band member and friends are irrepressible. Their collective spirit, though beaten down by the cruelties of war, remains their greatest repository of hope against all odds. We get to hear from real people who live the war, one, as a band mate states, we can "turn off" from the luxury and peace of out American homes. This is a must see. I hope VIBE, the film's producer/underwriter, will follow up in 2009/10! I love these people.

  These guys are un-friggin-believable! This band and this movie rock! Wow! Great great work! I don't even like Metal - I kinda friggin hate it - but I love these guys. Wow! I seriously hope that these guys get nothing but happiness from here on out! What a FUBAR story. I heard about them on NPR yesterday. They are living in different places in the states now. Seriously, someone rich as hell needs to step up and spring for some plane tickets, and set em up with a big fat house, and a garage that they can practice in. If I had the money, I'd do it in a second! Good vibes... Good vibes... Good vibes...

  these guys are the ultimate metalheads and above that- musicians. no question. they braved getting killed on a daily basis to do what they love, i think anyone, musician or not can appreciate how much we take for granted after seeing this film. i'm speechless! rock on Acrassicauda, rock on!
