What I am at heavymetalinbaghdad.com I was allowed to read and see interesting things again ... May the inclined reader make up his own mind about it. Here is a small attempt at a free translation from excerpts from the page:
«Heavy Metal in Baghdad is a documentary that follows the path of Iraqi metal band «Acrassicauda» from the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003 to the present day. Playing metal in a Muslim country has always been a difficult (if not impossible) proposition and after the fall of Saddam's regime there was a brief moment for a band when real freedom seemed possible. But that hope would quickly be rendered virtually impossible by a bloody uprising that took place in their country. From 2004-2007 Iraq unraveled around them while Acrassicauda struggled to stay together and alive and they resisted and refused to let their heavy metal dreams die. Now they are being followed. This story echoes the unspoken hopes of an entire generation of young Iraqis (...) October 10, 2007 The visas of the members of Acrassicauda are about to expire and the Syrian government is not renewing them, effectively meaning the band must return to Iraq. Time is running out. We are asking for donations to help Acrassicauda out of Syria and into a safe country where they can live and work in peace."

More for you:
"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever 
I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.
