ANVIL announce new album ‘Legal At Last’
AFM Records are hugely excited to announce \’Legal At Last\’ the insanely good new album from Canadian metal heroes ANVIL!
\’Legal At Last\’ will be released 14th February 2020 via AFM-Records and the album will be available as digipak, digital, black vinyl and some limited colored vinyl.
When it comes to virtues such as endurance, unconditional commitment and a thoroughly down-to-earth attitude, Anvil are the measure of all things. Like few other metal acts, the band surrounding founding members Steve βLipsβ Kudlow (vocals, guitars) and Robb Reiner (drums), plus bassist Chris Robertson have earned their laurels of blood, sweat and tears.
Since their 2009 documentary filmΒ The Story Of Anvil which revealed the unvarnished truth about the music industry, the world has been aware that the day-to-day life of most musicians doesnβt consist of MTV Awards, Grammy ceremonies, red carpets, champagne and caviar but mainly of energy-sapping tours with little sleep, junk food and meagre earnings. Yet these difficult conditions have made Anvil what they are today: a band that stands rock solid in the turbulent waters of a musical genre that produces music like no other, by fans for fans.
This new album is very special to Anvil: \”Legal At Last is mainly about two things,β Reiner explains, pointing to the cover artwork with a grin. βWe celebrate the legalisation of the Anvil bong because Canada changed its marihuana laws last year, which means we no longer sail close to the wind all the time. Thatβs why the album title announces that Anvil are legal at last.
Our fans have always known that, but the public at large treated us like criminals for a long time.βΒ Kudlow adds: βLegal At Last is our way of telling the public: βItβs okay, Anvil are okay, youβre allowed to like us at last!ββ
