Sunday Slaylist: Metal from the Middle East

Apr 15, 7:11am Thrash Hits
Ted Maul talk Muslim metal
The Middle East is a perpetual presence in world affairs - at the time of writing, the ceasefire between Syria's government and rebel forces rests on a knife edge , Egypt's first truly free presidential elections in decades is already mired in controversy , and the ongoing nuclear negotiations with Iran continue to prove inconclusive . It's against this background of uprising and upheaval that Jon Kerr offers up this week's Spotify Slaylist as a "horns-up" to all our Middle Eastern metal brethren. While many metal bands originating from the [...]

ANVIL: IRRELEVANT AGAIN

Feb 6, 12:30pm MetalSucks
If you're a fledgling metal band trying to break into the big time, allowing a movie to be made about your struggles is probably a bad idea. Remember Acrassicauda? The heavily persecuted Iraqi band pulled on the heart strings of the entire metal world in 2007, and the folks at Vice felt so moved by [...]

JANAZA: A Female Blasphemous Black Metal Solo Project From Iraq

Jun 20, 2011, 11:54am METAL Injection Blog
Janaza - Burn The Pages Of Quran (Anti Islamic Black Metal)
In a country that boasts of our first amendment, we've taken our liberties to speak, shred, and blast beat out - in the name of anti-clerical, anarchic causes, and pure metal blasphemy. This expression, anti-clerical, is far from confined to the states; we get such doses from the finest black metal bands of Finland, to ...

OKAY, BUT IT'S JANAZA, JACKASS

Jun 17, 2011, 3:20pm MetalSucks
A reader whose name I won't publish in order to spare him some embarrassment e-mailed me this morning with the subject line "Jazara," a link to this stream on The Gauntlet, and a demand that I "Tell people this exists." Kinda rude, but whatever. The band is called Janaza, not "Jazara," so I have to [...]

Acrassicauda: Only the Dead See the End of the War (Reviews)

Mar 19, 2010, 2:00am PopMatters
Acrassicauda - "Garden of Stones" Video
After earning respect in the metal world through their movie, the Iraqi band has officially arrived with their first EP. After watching the enthralling 2007 documentary Heavy Metal in Baghdad it was near impossible to keep yourself from wondering just how the four Iraqi musicians in Acrassicauda were doing lately. After all, these were four musicians so dedicated to their art that they were willing to risk everything to write music and perform, whether it was living in the heart of the war zone in Baghdad (their rehearsal space wound up being destroyed by a...

This is a metal band from Iraq. Yes, that Iraq.A couple years ago, they were the subject of the documentary film Heavy Metal in Baghdad, which I had heard about, but never saw, sadly. Maybe it's something that'll bring even more tears to the eyes of people who saw Anvil! The Story of Anvil. Think not making it big is depressing?

Acrassicauda Release Only the Dead See the End Of the War

Mar 11, 2010, 5:50pm Viva La Mainstream!
Acrassicauda Release Only the Dead See the End Of the War Normally a thrash metal band from Iraq isn't the kind of thing that would find a home on Viva La Mainstream. But about a year ago I was writing a play about a group of kids in Iraq circa 2005 who befriend an American soldier and form a rock band. This story was loosely based on that of Acrassicauda , a heavy metal band that sought asylum in America after fleeing their native Iraq amdist the American invasion and death threats from Islamic extremists. So in service to a band that provided inspiration, I felt I needed to hear [...]

Music From My Mailbox

Dec 5, 2009, 6:17pm Licorice Pizza
Music From My Mailbox Say you've got four lanes of traffic, all going the same direction. The far outside lane exits, the next one over has the option to exit or go straight. What the hell is that causes Miami drivers in the two inside lanes to come to a complete stop? During my commute I go through these traffic jams daily and I cannot, for the life of me, understand why it happens. Please, if you can explain this mystery, drop me a note. In other more relevant news, there turned out to be some pretty decent things in my [...]

The Top 6(66) Metal Documentaries

Dec 3, 2009, 1:02pm METAL Injection Blog
By Ben Apatoff Why should fiction get all the fun? There are plenty of great metal rockumentaries, especially in the past few years, and the best ones absolutely deserve their own list. To prevent this from being a list of the 6,6(66) greatest metal docs, I'm ruling out concert movies (sorry, Flight 666) and other films [...]
