NEW YORK - One of Iraq’s first heavy metal bands has been reunited in the United States after fleeing their homeland as refugees.
Members of Acrassicauda faced death threats in Iraq for playing Western rock music and went into hiding before spending two years exiled in Syria and Turkey.
Named after a type of scorpion, Acrassicauda began writing and playing heavy metal in 2001 after being inspired by bands including Metallica and Slayer.
Their story was chronicled in the 2007 documentary “Heavy Metal in Baghdad.”
