Playing heavy metal in a Muslim country has always been a difficult (if not impossible) proposition but after Saddam\u2019s regime was toppled, there was a brief moment for the band in which real freedom seemed possible. That hope was quickly dashed as their country fell into a bloody insurgency. From 2003-2006, Iraq disintegrated around them while Acrassicauda struggled to stay together and stay alive, always refusing to let their heavy metal dreams die. Their story echoes the unspoken hopes of an entire generation of young Iraqis.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/documentaryheaven.com\/heavy-metal-in-baghdad\/\" target=\"_blank\">Heavy-Metal-In-Baghdad<\/a><\/p>\n\n<script>\nvar zbPregResult = '0';\n<\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heavy Metal in Baghdad is a feature film documentary that follows the Iraqi heavy metal<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/jorw.xyz\/index.php\/2010\/09\/heavy-metal-in-baghdad\/\">Read the post<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Heavy Metal In Baghdad<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-242","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-documentary","excerpt","zoom","full-without-featured","even","excerpt-0"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jorw.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jorw.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jorw.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jorw.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jorw.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=242"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/jorw.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":522,"href":"https:\/\/jorw.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242\/revisions\/522"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jorw.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=242"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jorw.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=242"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jorw.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=242"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
