Anvil are heavyweights in the metal scene. The Ontario trio are said to have sparked the genesis of thrash metal as we know it, chiefly by the four thrash metal pillars they were said to be an early influence on: Slayer, Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax. They’ve put out a whopping 15 albums over three decades and have stayed true to the authentic heavy metal sound. They’ve never stooped to a gimmicky low nor sold out, from their early albums on Attic, Hard ‘n’ Heavy, Metal on Metal and Forged in Fire, to their latest, Juggernaut of Justice and Hope in Hell on eclectic Brooklyn label, The End.
They’ve been tearing around Canada and the States recently and are just about to kick off the east coast leg of their tour.
The experience of Anvil live is phenomenal. They are still as chaotic as in their early days. Steve ‘Lips’ Kudlow shreds some serious solo-age on his signature black flying V and Robb Reiner blasts monuymentally from the kit. The two guys have been playing together since they met in high school in 1973. It’s good to see they’re still so tight.
