Anvil Reveals New Album Details

AFM Records are more than excited to announce "Legal At Last" the new insane album from
Canadians Metal heroes Anvil!

"Legal At Last" will be available as digipak, digital, black vinyl and some limited colored vinyl

"Legal At Last" will be out 14th February 2020 via AFM-Records

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 ‘Lips’ Kudlow (vocals, guitars) and Robb Reiner (drums), plus bassist Chris Robertson have earned their laurels of blood, sweat and tears. Since their 2009 documentary film The Story Of Anvil, which reveals the unvarnished truth about the music industry, the world has been aware that the day-to-day life of most musicians doesn’t consist of MTV Awards, Grammy ceremonies, red carpets, champagne and caviar but mainly of energy-sapping tours de force with little sleep, junk food and meagre earnings. Yet these difficult conditions have made Anvil what they are today: a band that stands solid as a rock in the turbulent waters of a musical genre that produces like no other music by fans for fans.

Acid Reign To Release Four Disc Compilation

Acid Reign are set to release the Acid Reign "Anthology!" On Dissonance on November 15, 2019

This 4CD set includes the bands 1987 demo "Moshkinstein", the 1989 debut album "Fear", and the classic second full length "Obnoxious", originally released in 1990. And to top it off, disc four contains a tonne of previously unreleased material!

Frontman Howard Smith comments:

"This is the definitive collection of our back catalogue. The Apple Core Archives have long since been unavailable and this gives people their last chance to own everything on CD at a sensible price. Added to this we have returned since that release, so we have some cool extras on a fourth disc. Our two comeback singles Plan Of The Damned & The Man Who Became Himself are here complete with the demos of both songs, the very first song that Paul and I wrote together 'No' which predates the reboot, Cerebral Scar’s version of Goddess that I guest on, the demos of Obnoxious and finally a live version of Blind Aggression that was on a flexi disc that went out with Kerrang! Back in the day. This box set represents the ending of one era and the beginning of another" More...
