The “Story of Anvil”
sure was a popular one a few years ago in the wake of a documentary released
about the Toronto metal bands career. If you haven’t seen it, here is all you
have to know; it depicted yet another of the countless bands who set out to be
the next big thing but never became a Metallica
or Judas Priest or even a Saxon or Accept. There was, however a point in the early 80’s when it
appeared they might be. Their second album Metal
on Metal was praised by metal fans and metal musicians alike for its
proto-thrash sound, but due to mainly management botcheries the band just
became irrelevant.
