Not sure, it's like 40/45 quid that I don't really have. If I manage to get some cash together I'd like to go.

This film does look very interesting.

i read that the people funding the film (vice hipster mag) are going to use the funds from the film to move the bands family out of Iraq.

which is a bit shit for the local fans - considering they are the only metal band there.

The band have already left Baghdad. They're in Istanbul according to their blog.

FUCKING AMERICANS.



...that band was in Zero Tolerance maybe 8 months ago...was quite interesting, and didn't have the "we're so mad, the is is really dangerous, but we don't care cos we're from vice magazine and everything is hip!" angle.

is this the same doco that was out a while ago? Basically where this guy started working on a documentary about iraq and metal but then the war started and he had to put it on hold for a while, went there a couple of years back and could only find one band he had previously been in contact with and found out alot of the bands he was interested in had disbanded and lost alot of their members due to the war.

tragic but worth watching.

Wonder what the post-mathrock scene in Baghdad is like? Or the Nintendocore vibes? Balls to that! Hail to MeTaL!! The true international music form.

true, other than folk/traditional (obviously), metal and particularly grindcore seems to be one of the most all pervasive music forms in the world. Which has ended up with me having about 200 pointless really bad grind records from the arsehole of nowhere

 

[Corm]

There are few musical forms which lend themselves to sheer awfulness as much as grindcore.

"I know, let's be mad and have a grindcore band! All yo have to do is go NEEEARGH BOOM KATHUD!!, it's easy!".

Singer-songwriters? Lo-fi?

grindcore can be the best, the very best, but it can also be the very very very worst!!!

it's a reaL shame;iraq right now has a great oppertunity to build an egalitarian scoiety from the bottom up after years of represion, stand up to the islamo-fascists and neo-consand appropriate the oil for the workers but they can't seem to get their head around the games there being fooled into playig and they'l end up with the sam hierarchal bullshit

Ans ALL these dickheads can do is follow around some stupid meatl band, the most hierarchal and sexist demo-graphic there is. fucking sound
