FYB Musical Monday Part One: The Band Known As GHOUL

As part of FYB Musical Monday We are Showcasing the Trash-Death Metal Grindcore Band from Oakland California known as GHOUL!

Very Little is Known about the band Ghoul as they always seen wearing Masks/Hoods. The Members of the Band go by the Stage Names Cremator, Fermentor, Digestor, and Dissector. Though the Band’ Member’s Identities are meant to be Concealed, it is known the Some Current/Past members of Ghoul also play/have Played in Other Bands such as Impaled, Dystopia, Morbid Angel, Phobia, Asunder, Morosidad, and Wolves in the Throne Room.  Ghoul has an extensive Line up of Characters featured in Their Lyrics, Including the Band Members Themselves. Most of the Information pertaining to Ghoul comes from the “Curio Shop Owner” who is one of Ghoul’s many Characters mentioned in Their Songs. Ghoul claims to be Mutants that herald from the Fictional Land of Creepsylvania.            Below are 2 Official Ghoul Music Videos, A Live Concert Song Excerpt, and for those who find Themselves wanting to know/See/Hear more there is the Full Length Ghoul Concert Live at The National on 10/20/17. Enjoy.

Hope You Enjoyed this Massive Dose of Mutant Metal as Much as We Did.

FYB Wednesday Rockumentary: HEAVY METAL IN BAGDAD (with Bonus Video)

Just the Other Day during some inane Conversation I found Myself involved in I had a Moment of Clarity if You will. As I was trying to Pay Attention to what the Other Person was saying I noticed a Guy wearing an Old School Metallica T-Shirt which Suddenly triggered a Memory I had consciously forgotten about . The Memory was of  a VICE Films Rockumentary I had seen Long ago (So long in fact I couldn’t tell You exactly how many Years its been) called HEAVY METAL IN BAGDAD. So when I got Home I hopped on Ye Olde Internet, Located a Copy of the Film, and I then Rewatched since it had been so goddamn Long since I had first Seen it.

           

It all Started in 2003 when the Heavy Metal Band Acrassicauda was the subject of a VICE Magazine Article, and with the Magazines Help the Band was able to Stage a Sold Out Show Two Years later in 2005 (Despite Saddam Hussein having recently being Ousted from Power). VICE Filmmakers Eddy Moretti and Suroosh Alvi returned to Iraq in 2006 in an attempt to Track Down Acrassicauda during the Horrific Iraq War. Moretti and Alvi literally risked Life and Limb in Pursuit of The Film as Americans, Reports, and Heavy Metal are all Looked Upon More than Unfavorably (to say the least) by Iraqi Society/Politics.

Acrassicauda is an Iraqi Heavy Metal Metal Band Who Played Live Shows during The Iraq War, and Under the Brutal Rule of Saddam Hussein. After Saddam and His Regime were Removed from Power Acrassicauda experienced a Surge in Fame and Popularity. Unfortunately the Band also Started to Receive DEATH THREATS from Fanatical Islamic Militants (Who believed the Band were SATAN WORSHIPPERS which is Absolutely and Completely False). Due to the Death Threats and the Increasing Violence in Bagdad The Band Members fled to Syria, then Turkey, and Luckily at Last the Band was Granted Refugee Status in America.

 

Hope You Enjoyed the Heavy Metal Mayhem as Much as We Did.
