Iraqi Metal Band Reunited



Forced by death threats to split up and flee Iraq, the members of "Heavy Metal in Baghdad" band Acrassicauda lived as refugees in Syria and Turkey for nearly three years. When the United States offered them asylum, the International Rescue Committee brought the musicians back together and is helping them restart their lives in safety and freedom.
