Anvil! The Story of Anvil

About the Canadian metal band Anvil. At 14, Toronto school friends Steve "Lips" Kudlow and Robb Reiner made a pact to rock together forever. Their band, Anvil, went on to become the "demigods of Canadian metal," releasing one of the heaviest albums in metal history, 1982's "Metal on Metal." It went on to sell millions of records, but Anvil's career didn't flourish afterwards. Instead, they went straight to obscurity.

PETER TRAVERS - April 9, 2009

Want to find the heart of rock & roll? You can hear it thundering in Anvil, the Canadian metal band that influenced the likes of Metallica but never hit pay dirt. No wonder lead vocalist Steve "Lips" Kudlow and drummer Robb Reiner are banging heads and egos. Sacha Gervasi's powerhouse doc brings humor and fervent focus to Toronto musicians, supporting their families with day jobs, who won't give up the dream. Ever. Listen to Anvil rip into "Metal on Metal." It's hardcore inspirational.
