After a Kickstarter campaign for their debut album, Acrassicauda are now streaming a new song. The US-based Iraqi thrash metallers have presented the first single "Rise" from the upcoming debut album Gilgamesh. Below you can also see the album cover artwork created by the Japanese artist Tomoki Hayasaka. Get thrashed!

Marwan Hussein Riyadh said of the new album: "The whole album's concept is about journeys, life and death, love, the divine, success and failure, and the eternal struggle for immortality. Acrassicauda immortalizes the legacy of this character and his struggles through music, thousands of years later. The album is Heavy with a Middle Eastern twist to it."







The band had the leading role in the internationally acclaimed, award-winning documentary, Heavy Metal in Baghdad.
