4.0 out of 5 stars More than just a story, a very strong, unique metal act., March 9, 2010

I was very surprised by this EP. I assumed it would be rougher, more civilian- with plenty to say, of course! This band has been through more than perhaps any other on Earth, but I wasn't expecting such quality and precision. From the local influence in the guitar solo and outro drumming of "Garden of Stones" to the Trivium-esque breakneck guitar riffs in "Message from Baghdad," these guys can rock, hard and consistently.

Well worth the purchase.

Ok, this is not some new, original, game changing music. But it rocks! The riffs are wicked, the drumming is tight, and the vocals are great. "Massacre" has the guts to both rock and give you chills as good as any that Sepultura (the kings of message metal) have ever put out. I have watched the documentary repeatedly, and regularly show it to others, and had to check this out, and these guys did exactly what they set out to do - to write and play some great metal songs! Like I said, not really innovative in any particular way, but I can easily say I would have listened and rocked out even if I HADN'T heard their story first. Glad to hear they recently made it to the US and can walk down the street with their hair long and their metal t-shirts without worrying about getting shot for it.

Rock on Acrassicauda! Hope to hear more in the future!

This EP by metal band from Iraq of all places shows alot of potential. Listening to the songs you definately get a sense they listened to alot of old thrash bands like Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer. The songs on the EP show they have a wide range of talent from straight metal songs to more instrumental stuff like Garden of Stones (favorite track). This band shows it has tons of talent and hope one day they can make a debut album. Also check out there DVD which shows their journey from Iraq to Turkey during the invasion. After watching that you will support their dream and PURCHASE the EP.
