![]() If there are any fans of Anvil in Split, we should meet up and maybe you can suggest me some places that I could visit. I really wish they would add more shows in south of Europe, because this month in August I’m visiting Split Croatia, and I would love nothing more than to quickly hope over to Germany or Austria and enjoy an hour or two of Anvil hits performed by the guys. I strongly suggest that you keep a close eye on their Facebook page, because that’s where they announce most of their shows. Still, I would like to make a quick update for everyone to see that Anvil is in the process of making a new album, and they just announced a bunch of new tour dates in both Europe and here in North America. Hello there fans of the best heavy metal band in the world, how have things been going? I myself have been busy and because of that you haven’t been hearing from me lately. Anvil 2019 tour and news about Blue Lagoon Tour Why don’t we go to the beginning and see how it all started back in the 80s in Canada. I hear that they still play small gigs in North America, and that’s very cool of them. They never really got into mainstream that much since their initial success back in the 80s, and they are older now, it’s been close to 40 years since the band was formed. I’m not surprised about the band not being active nowadays. Sadly the band isn’t really all that active on the concert scene during this modern age of high quality drones that can capture excellent quality video and sound so that we have that, but there’s still plenty of earlier video footage of the band, that’s worth checking out. Anvil has also played a huge role in my life and I thought I owe it to the guys to setup this website where I’ll talk about the band history, share their music and even some live footage from their gigs here in Germany. Vintage clips from Anvil’s heyday are highlighted by their appearance on a chatshow, outraging housewives as the TV hostess quotes the hilariously crass lyrics to their song “Toe Jam.Anvil is an iconic heavy metal band from Canada and this website is an unofficial, fan made, tribute to this great band, who has had a huge influence on todays music. ![]() (The foursome’s other two current players G5 and Ivan Herd are the latest in a line of shorter-term members.) Their dogged optimism leads to a European tour (mismanaged), a 13th album reuniting them with stellar metal producer Chris Tsangarides, and finally a triumphant return to Japan after 20-plus years.Įn route, various indignities are endured, and the high-strung Lips’ tendency to vent frustrations on long-suffering Robb nearly bust up the band for good. But they haven’t given up their teenage dreams yet, much as some loved ones wish they would. Dropped from their major label, they soldiered on, recording subsequent discs on the cheap, playing for dwindling audiences at clubs, still hoping for an increasingly improbable big break.įounders lead vocalist Steve “Lips” Kudlow and drummer Robb Reiner now have working-class Toronto day jobs, wives and kids to support. But while those outfits rose to the pinnacle of ’80s “Headbanger’s Ball” success, Anvil - whose earliest LPs are considered a major formative influence by subsequent speed-metal units like Metallica and Slayer, as testified by some members here - failed to build further momentum on those moderate hits. They shared a mighty metal stage then with the soon-to-be-huge likes of Bon Jovi and Whitesnake. Original quartet is first seen in wrong-aspect-ratio’d footage from 1984, when they seemed on the brink of stardom.
