| Friday, March 6, 2009 - ANVIL! The Story Of Anvil - DVD Version To Be Released In The UK In June | Amazon.co.uk lists the DVD release of "ANVIL! The Story Of Anvil" as to be released on June 15th.
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. The album influenced a musical generation, including Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax that went on to sell millions of records. But Anvil's career took a different path - straight to obscurity.
Picking up on their story 26 years later, director Sacha Gervasi has concocted an achingly touching and often hilarious account of Anvil's last-ditch quest for elusive fame and fortune. Not since Metallica: Some Kind Of Monster has such an incredibly raw, candid, hearbreaking and truly inspirational story been captured on film. At its core, Anvil! The True Story of Anvil is a timeless tale of survival and the unadulterated passion it takes to follow your dream, year after year. Anvil rocks - it has no other choice.

Comments: 116 | | Saw the film a couple of weeks back. Excellent documentary.
We actually got lucky in Glasgow and got tickets to a sneak preview which included an Q&A with the director and band plus a 3 song set by the band themselves.
It was quite odd seeing the band rock out in a cinema hall but it was a great night. You can see footage from the bands performance on youtube :
