Iraqi Heavy Metal Band Asks for Help as They Fight to Survive
The group, which formed in 2001 and was influenced by Metallica, Slayer and Slipknot, almost immediately began receiving death threats from fundamentalists who called their music Satantic — playing in public became almost impossible, and even practicing was dangerous. Like approximately two million other Iraqis, they fled their home country and became war refugees in Syria, but as of October 10th, their visas expire — if they return home, they will almost certainly die. |

Has anybody heard any music from these guys?
Are they any good?

saying they will almost certainly die is a pretty bold statement

I just posted the link at metal-rules.
Let's see what comments the mad metalheads make on the subject.

I'm glad we were able to work past the potential death of these iraqis.
If only the rest of the country would follow suit

In the process, I have learned that smilies are not always the best form of communication.
Accountable talk - does anyone want to build on to what was just said?
(why am I still awake?)
