ACRASSICAUDA: 'Garden Of Stones' Video Available

December 22, 2009

"Garden Of Stones", the new video from the Iraqi heavy metal band ACRASSICAUDA, can be viewed below. The song comes off the group's debut EP, "Only The Dead See The End Of The War", which will be released on March 9, 2010 via VICE Records. Recorded in 2009 following the band's final relocation to the U.S., the CD was produced by Alex Skolnick of TESTAMENT and mixed by engineer Josh Wilbur (LAMB OF GOD, HATEBREED, SYSTEM OF A DOWN). The four-song debut "explodes with ferocious war metal," according to a press release.

For the past six years, VICE has documented the story of ACRASSICAUDA in its struggle to stay alive and continue the group while enduring the disintegration of its own country throughout the war.

Also in stores now is the inspirational book "Heavy Metal in Baghdad: The Story of Acrassicauda" (VICE/MTV Books). Expanding on the internationally acclaimed, award-winning VBS.TV/VICE Films documentary produced and directed by Suroosh Alvi and Eddy Moretti, VICE editors Andy Capper and Gabi Sifre extensively cover the history of ACRASSICAUDA, beginning at their youth in Iraq and culminating in their eventual relocation to the U.S. in 2008. Featuring never-before-seen photographs, setlists, posters, and flyers, the book tells the real story of life during wartime in Baghdad.
