TESTAMENT Guitarist Produces ACRASSICAUDA EP
November 23, 2009For the past six years, VICE has documented the story of Iraqi heavy metal band ACRASSICAUDA in its struggle to stay alive and continue the group while enduring the disintegration of its own country throughout the war.
On March 9, 2010, VICE Records will release ACRASSICAUDA's debut EP, "Only The Dead See The End Of The War", recorded in 2009 following the band's final relocation to the U.S. 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.
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.
