1473 - Acrassicauda Garden of Stones 2010

Acrassicauda are four young Iraqi musicians who got to survive Hussein’s regime, war, the precarious situation of refugees, and still managed to get the attention of mainstream media. Their four-track-EP "Only the Dead see the end of the War" rocks. A modern mixture of thrash and groove metal, as well as some Middle-Eastern folk-resembling melodies, all together creating a raw yet rich atmosphere. The song convinces with its Oriental influenced chorus, exotic vibes and slow thrash rhythms.
