May 24, 2007, 17 years ago
VBS.tv has contacted BW&BK; with news about "a fantastic and moving" series running on VBS.tv called Heavy Metal Baghdad.
Says VBS' Rory Ahearn, "It is a story about a group of guys and what they have to go through in a war torn country to play in a band. The first segment was about us sneaking into Iraq for the story, followed by the second segment which was about said metal band, ACRASSICAUDA, and what they have to go through living in Iraq as metalheads.
In the final installment, the band has united in Damascus, Syria and play a reunion concert. We went to the show, hung out with them, and then recorded a demo with the band. Yes, a heavy metal demo in Syria! Something very rare. Even though they have fled war torn Iraq their trials and tribulations of being a rock band continue."
Check out the first three parts of the five-part series at the following links: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.
Parts 4 and 5 run through out the week on www.vbs.tv
