Acrassicauda - "Garden of Stones" Vice Records

[murderaddiction]

These guys are touring in the U.S. right now. I would be seeing them in Cleveland in a couple days, but I have to work :(

[mustafa2984]

IRAQ! /,,/! 

[biffen89]

Sounds way more progressive than their older stuff. I like it. The riff that kicks in about 50 seconds into the song is heavy as fuck.

[revolucionkapucha]

awante acrassicauda! cualkier power el tema culiao!

[JoeBonamassaNation]

metal is gay

[twatwaffler2222]

could someone please let me know the name of the home channel for these guys?

whatever. no one is gonna tell me shit.

[TheHeavy666Metal]

Fuckin Love these Guys. No matter where you come from, metal is the Universal Unifier.

[The17051995]

Justin Bieber Rulezs! >:D KILL ME PLEASE KILL ME :c

[Sklinurin]

they are like a plant that can grow through massive concrete!

[roadrat33]

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/

[Stevo4411]

This is amazing..i love how the iraqian music reflects on their style, so brutal...IN METAL WE ARE ALL BRETHREN!!! CHEERS FROM USA!!

[Drih02]

Very fucking good /,,/,

[dekes3]

amazing band, and fantastic song.... been listening to it like crazy

[Bustednuckles]

BTW, they met with Metaliica back stage and Hetfield gave the singer a guitar.

It's on Youtube.

[Bustednuckles]

A friend of mine turned me onto these guys a couple of years ago and instantly loved this video so much I posted it on my Bloga at Ornery Bastard.

Recently it started going through my head for no reason and I had to come see it again, and again, and again.

These guys would make Metallica blush like a virgin with a dick in her mouth.

[M3talThrash1ngMad]

bought this album, that's right, bought it, cuz these guys deserve recognition

[Jungwacht333]

@M3talThrash1ngMad Me too!

[captainahnee]

This rocks!!!

[TonyJasta]

BAGHDAD HAVE POWER TOO

[FknmetalkiD]

@TonyJasta no. just the band!

[metalheadneji]

these guys rock I fuckin love their passion for heavy metal rock on heavy metal rulez.

[2011Infidel]

I like these guys. For a demo, which is what this song is essentially from...not bad. But I think they have more potential. A full-blown, full-production album would be awesome.  Interesting scale choices for melodies and vocals. Similar to System of a Down, but not as esoteric or whiney. The vocals need some work, although these guys haven't had the chance to hone their sound. They have skills no doubt. I would like to see them take things further.

[CarolineHighmore13]

Vaya, se dejaron crecer el cabello xD

Es una de las bandas de metal más rifadas que he escuchado.

[Bachamami91]

I really liked the drum instrumentation that was added from 3:26 - 3:45 supper sick

[uchihaitachi888]

...why is one of the reactions 'cute?'

[gaviaodanilo]

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

[MrJoechester1236]

i just watched the movie of this band. its amazing how they became such a great metal band from baghdad. \m/ \m/ fucking sick! im so glad they made it..good job guys.

[melodic6death]

0:45 FUCKIN EPIC...I made a mess of myself >.< Jizzed

[TheSarophas]

FUCK YEAH, this is the beginning of a new age!

[dominickfin]

these dudes are killin it . i have heard of arab drifting but not arabian metal?

[nathantim]

I love how in the documentary they all had short hair and wanted nothing more than to be in a metal band and grow their hair long. I think it's great they got a huge break. look at their hair now! lol

[hla5560650]

Although the repeated wars and saddam`s policy in desroying the iraqi personality and after that he us occupation and the crimes they`ve done in Iraq and he corrupted govermen they brought, bu we always see that the iraqi people are creative! I tell you no nation can endure what iraqi people had been and being through...peace

[ToranLoki]

metalicca-ey



[JoNyB0i]

@ToranLoki metallica is likw god status to middle eastern metal

[gilesreb]

its awesome to see that they were finally able to grow their hair out!!!

[Mochoe]

Damn...you can hear the Muslim influence in their riffs..fuking EPIC!!!!

[JustShtUp]

@OriGri im from palestine and ill probably hate u for life, but u say is correct, religion doesnt have anything to do with music

[PKTN88]

@JustShtUp guess what ? the feeling is mutual

[johnnyblingblong]

I'm not even a metalhead, but this song ROCKS!!!

[Metal666Blade]

@johnnyblingblong Wait that's wierd how can you like this song without being a metalhead? usually if you are not a metalhead people wouldnt like it

[melodic6death]

Acrassicauda?????? O.o Damn These should be the guys from the Documentary

[OriGri]

You're great! I live in Isreal so you probably hate me, but I say FUCK RELIGION, FUCK WAR, MUSIC BRINGS US METALHEADS TOGETHER NO MATTER WHERE WE COME FROM, and this is stronger than any stupid politician who brings us war and hatred!

[baghdadshady88]

@OriGri I'm From Iraq and what you said is correct :)

[JacobMcDaid]

@OriGri Fuck yea brother! spoken like a true metalhead. Whether you live in Iraq, Israel or in my case Australia. Metal brings a fuckload more peace then religion, government or opression ever can.

[Dionysius8421]

@OriGri I live in America, so even more people hate me!

AND I COULDN'T GIVE LESS OF A FUCK! METAL IS THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE!

[hadninetails]

@OriGri Nobody hates you because you live in Israel, but surely you can forgive people affected by war to not like the foreign policy of certain countries that made them refugees. I personally think Orphaned Land and these guys should do a concert together.

If you have your horns up, youre my head banging brother...

Greetings from Pakistan ... \m/

[AcXr50]

Is this the same group that was in the documentary ?



[EmpireIraq]

@AcXr50 Yeap, acrassicauda.

[frozendilemma]

the solo brings tear in your eyes !

[frozendilemma]

War can slow you down but if your hearts are beating then metal will keep living...Awesome guys...they are real Metal heroes !!!

[aassyr1111]

HEY PEOPLE .

i am an iraqi bassist , check my covers :)

[hrdcoremetalchik]

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!

[thepicz]

@hrdcoremetalchik I extend the shout out from Ottawa!

[vtrendkill]

Hail from Portugal Fuckers. Just seen Heavy Metal in Baghdad. Nice to see your can grow your air now. \m/ Fucken respect.



[TheVirstonKingdom]

Iraq is so proud of you guys . . . you have no idea

[Benzorg1]

Seeing them tonight! Fuck yeah!

[bvago3]

i saw there documentary and it was fucking amazing! the passion they have for metal is like no other! hopefully metal can unite us all! because all us metal heads are a family we need to stick together just like this band did! horns up to ACRASSICAUDA!!

[SpiritMolecule1]

not bad but very unoriginal

[SmokinLogan92]

@SpiritMolecule1

Dude... Really? Lets see you reinvent a 30 year old music genre. These guys shred, Period. How do you even figure that they are unoriginal? Because they didn't put out an album in 1983? Shame on you SpiritMolecule... Shame on you.

[SpiritMolecule1]

@SmokinLogan92 because the riffs are done before and predictable, thats why

[metalhammer777]

I have just discovered them. They make me think of System of a down. :)

Now I will search for moar

[CerebralEulogy]

I saw these guys in Portland Oregon the other night! If American bands had half the passion for performance that Acrassicauda has, we could have a pretty kick ass music scene here.

[briank06261973]

Saw these guys at Ray's Golden Lion in Richland. What a show! Awesome band! LONG LIVE ACRASSICAUDA!

[blackarchmage91]

@briank06261973 me too, is was a awesome show!!!

[80Xdeath]

Greg send me here too. And you fucking rock!!!!!!

Greeting from Paraguay you guys!!.

[thrasherrbabe]

Greg Christian sent me here. :D

Although, I did watch the documentary, too, but to have Testament recommend them?

Fuck yeah! You guys are epic. Can't wait to see them in Albuquerque! :D

[MetalAddict345]

YES they finally got to grow their hair long :D so glad they were able to get out of Iraq and peruse their passion for music. Truly inspiring.

[R1Elvis]

YOu guys killed Vegas!!! RICK ON!!!!

[fly2muma]

proud of you guys *fist pumps horms* from the UK

[GamesAreFun96]

dude there coming to my town Walla Walla ,Washington. and my friends band is playing that night too!!,

[XxbmxismetalxX]

@GamesAreFun96 yaaaaa walla walla! but they're going to richland not walla?

[Killerdude14]

sounds badass.... saw the documentary video of them a few years back

[OmarCore93]

The vocal part reminds me Trivium

[gunsncrocker]

i saw them live with destruction and got to meet them, really nice guys

[GuitarGuy057]

Acrassicauda is fucking awesome. Stay Always Faithful.

[sgerard666]

amazinngg



[joker66144]

they are the best

[markrfriedman]

These guys are good, but they don't sound much different from dozens of other thrash metal bounds out there. It'd be neat to see them infuse traditional middle eastern rhythms/instruments into their music more.

[Cormierguy121]

THIS is metal!

[jftfyu]

I saw them live and they were so fucking amazing!

[AugieEDJ]

They are comeing to LASVEGAS!!!

[tteksarbttam]

How does this only have 30,000 views? I know I'm at least 5. These guys are amazing and their background makes them even cooler.

[thedude6969]

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.

[Mrogan1203]

Freaking Awesome Band!!! Rock on you guys prove there is hope for Iraq.

[channeldewillie]

its like iraqi metallica, awesome

[necrosatanico]

@channeldewillie No, they kick ass and Metallica and their Death Pathetic sucks

[bfmvryan90]

@necrosatanico You better watch your mouth you FUCK..Metallica fucking owns..These guys are good but will never EVER be on Metallica's level..And Death Magnatic FUCKING OWNED!!!!!!!!

[necrosatanico]

@bfmvryan90 Death Lagnetic it's fucking booooriing. That shit is pretty much a dust collector. Lars should retire and start selling his stupid paintings full time. So yes: I really hope these guys never, EVER be on Metallicrap's level...

[n0t0mega]

@bfmvryan90

Metallica sucks

[fuckamerica109]

@n0t0mega Agreed.

[bloodshot557]

i hav a lot of respect for thizz band...they tried soo hard to be were there at!!

[TheJordanpe]

Good to see they made it to the US!!! I love the music. Throwback to old school thrash. Love it.

[ROYBAZONE]

Gave me a metal boner.... F***** awesome. --Roy Australia

[Zdem0Z]

like the arabian stylish melodies

[GuitarHeroPowa67]

Sale arabe de merde, cette merde n'a rien à foutre là.

[jeparlebienlefrance]

ils en ont parcouru du chemin depuis leur 1ere demo ^^,c'est cool qu'ils soient arrivés à percer,le metal est un putain de lien entre les peuples ^^.

5 stars.

[imerdeoz]

Muy Buena Canción!! Me Encanto El Sonido!! Saludos Desde Costa Rica!!!

[jessticles09]

i didnt know bout these guys until i watched a documentary bout them on netflix. it really opend my eyes to alot of the struggles peaceful, civilian iraqis had to go thru on a daily basis while we sit on our asses n watch metal videos on youtube. the only metal videos they had wer 20 yr old bootleg metallica and mayhem dvds. they had to cary weapons JUST to go band practice in fear of their lives. its a good flick and i suggest you losers watch it, you'll appreciate them more i think -jessticles

[gunsncrocker]

@jessticles09 mayhem made dvds? tehehehehehehehe

[SalBlckAttc09]

i'm gonna see this band live tomorrow!

[EmpireIraq]

@SalBlckAttc09 How were they? how big was the audeince? good reception?

[SalBlckAttc09]

@EmpireIraq they're van broke down in another city so they couldn't make it! :( but they're coming back in august...

[clemenza1234]

in retrospect, this is a pretty deep song. much respect.

[clemenza1234]

these guys are fucking good. metal is everywhere, man.

[thraser91]

FUCK USA

[Lapinhaukka]

Awesome band, great great sound!! For once a band that can actually sing about the life they actually live and back it up! :)

Best of luck to you guys!!

[samayl6]

killer

[CptObvious11]

Saw the documentary on Netflix "Heavy Metal in Baghdad". The ending sucked, as it was so open-ended and we didn't know what became of Acrassicauda. Today I was going through some sites and saw an article that said they finally made it to the States and recorded an album. FUCK YES! \oo/><\oo/ Good shit guys!

[U0777]

@CptObvious11

[gunsncrocker]

@ILoveallguitars testamentish**

[zadraluca]

finally a band with some real experience on the death and destruction they sing about

[VincentFinn]

So if I dislike Amon Amarth I'm racist? Just because they are from a different culture cannot I say bad things about then? So I'm racist? No, I think not...

[zadraluca]

those who dislike this video are fucking racists

[VincentFinn]

@zadraluca So if I dislike Amon Amarth I'm racist? Just because they are from a different culture cannot I say bad things about then? So I'm racist? No, I think not...

@zadraluca So if I dislike Amon Amarth I'm racist? Just because they are from a different culture cannot I say bad things about then? So I'm racist? No, I think not...

I admit that I don't like christians and muslins, but I'm not racist!

I admit that I don't like christians and muslins, but I'm not racist!

I said all that but I really like their song!!!

[zadraluca]

@VincentFinn then it's OK. when I posted that comment I meant that all those who dislike this band because of the colour of their skin are racists. and I don't like christians neither

[H3rrH3rz]

@zadraluca

i agree its awesome, but mybe they just prefer a different genre of music.

[pistolsish]

they rules! muslim metal!!

[69ParadiseLost]

@pistolsish

Dude the true that true islam in iraq only 5% , The other are pagans and Yazidis and Mendaensim

The Assyrian Christians about changing to Assyrian Pagan , The islam in iraq now is just name ,

In my Nationalty i'm a muslim but the true if you hit me and hide your self very fast i'll say ( Fuck You Allah Why that happend ) Not only me All of The Mesopotamians , because of the sumerian blood , it's royal thing but no one know about it ... "Vashkigalix"

[BryanTeeVee]

@bestjobb1 Then move back to Iraq. 

[Chemical373g]

@BryanTeeVee Dude i bet he's a refugee, he probably didn't want 2 leave his homeland, but was forced 2 due to all the shit that's going on over there. No 1 would want 2 go back 2 that hell hole, just look at acrassicauda's documentary "Heavy Metal in Baghdad". There's nothing wrong with him being proud of his heritage, not all iraquis are fuckin terrorists.

[EmpireIraq]

@bestjobb1 You should always be proud to be Iraqi we've done some pretty cool shit, but this band is awesome.

[MrMaschingewere]

Respect! Greetings from Croatia!

[4tiveyan]

This is an Arabe band?
