About: Anvil

Pioneers of the Toronto metal scene since 1978, Anvil spent decades playing to small crowds while the bands they inspired - Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth - filled arenas. Now on their "Pounding the Past" tour, Kudlow and Reiner dig deep into the classic early catalogue that started it all.
