This intense 90-minute documentary was made in 2003 by Australian journalist George Gittes. The flick, which features snippets of Slayer's "Angel of Death" and Drowning Pool's "Bodies," depicts U.S. soldiers discussing the role music -- and especially metal -- plays in psyching them up to march into battle.
But "Soundtrack to War" is more than a soldier's playlist. Many of the military men interviewed discuss the horrors of war, their reservations about fighting and their desire to get home. The movie also includes revealing interview footage with the members of Iraqi metal band Acrassicuada, who explain what it's like to be a controversial metal band fearing for its life in a war torn nation.
