astro, thanks for the shout. tried to find your email but couldnt. wanted to let you know that part three of the trilogy is up now.
In the final installment, the band has reunited in Damascus, Syria and play a reunion concert. We went to the show, hung out with them, and then recorded a demo with the band. Yes, a heavy metal demo in Syria! Something very rare. Through the band, we explore the Iraqi refugee crisis. The current crisis is the worst to happen in the Middle East since the creation of Israel. So far 2.4 million Iraqis have fled Iraq and 2 more million are displaced within Iraq. This is perhaps the worst refugee crisis in the world right now.
