Acrassicauda needs your help!
Acrassicauda, Iraq’s only metal band, have had to sell all their non-essential stuff (CDs, tapes, t-shirts) so they could move after receiving some pretty serious threats. We don’t have the full story, but they live in Iraq. The folks at VBS.TV, who ran the Heavy Metal in Baghdad series on Acrassicauda (currently pulled from the site as the series is being turned into a feature-length documentary) are preparing a care package of CDs (mix CDs are encouraged), tapes, shirts and magazines. If you have any metal items you can spare or the time to make a mix, send them to the address below and increase your overall International Metal Brother/Sisterhood Karma.
