I've been an ANVIL metal pounder since 1982 when Metal On Metal came out. Back on May 31, 2008 their documentary ANVIL! THE STORY OF ANVIL was shown at the Brooklyn Academy of Music followed by a live performance in the BAM Cafe. The film is incredible, it's nothing like the standard rock documentaries. It's a very powerful flim, emotional and very funny all at the same time.Anyway, I was flipp...

Originally released in 1989 on Metal Blade, it’s good to have Anvil’s kick ass live album back in print. This came out after their minor brush with North American success thanks to the video for “Mad Dog” from the 1987 album Strenth of Steel and right before their decline into obscurity. We all know that Anvil is now bigger than ever thanks to the excellent film Anvil! The Story of Anvil b

What they need, and I've been saying it from the start, is a little Jay-Z get-shit-doneness, cause whatever they're doing isn't really working, and Jay-Z, well, he's always [...]

THE STORY OF ANVIL (2008) The must-see tale of an obscure, never-say-die, Canadian heavy metal band that - according to guys like Slash, Lars and Lemmy - started it all. Watching this movie, you'll get the nagging feeling that the whole thing is a Spinal Tap-like mockumentary (with an emotional dose of Metallica's Some Kind Of Monster on the side), but the situations are just far too real for ...
