Turkish also Europian rock and heavy metal music fans know Mete Sohtaoglu well and have been listening to his program "Beton" ("Concrete") on Açýk Radio 94.9 FM every Sunday at midnight for the past nine years. The latest rock and heavy metal music albums are on air first on Sohtaoglu's program in Turkey. "Beton" is said to be the best-known Turkish radio program internationally.

ACRASSICAUDA, which refers to the Latin for a type of scorpion, was formed in 2001, but played only three concerts before the U.S. invasion of 2003. They played three more, facing heavy security, tiny crowds, power shortages and the odd explosion nearby.

Their story is the subject of a documentary "Heavy Metal in Baghdad", made by Canadians Eddy Moretti and Suroosh Alvi.
