Anvil: Fall Tour, Career Spanning Anthology

LIVE DATES AND A METAL HISTORY LESSON!

Anvil

After a string of successful tour dates this past July, Anvil are going back on the road again. Starting mid-October these metal legends will work their way north across America to the West Coast, making several stops throughout California, and returning to the east coast for the start of November (see dates below).

On September 27, the band will release Monument of Metal: The Very Best of Anvil, a 19-track career retrospective that collects choice cuts from Anvil’s career with a track listing hand-selected by the members of Anvil and spans their three-decade career.

“This compilation demonstrates the full diversities of the Anvil’s sound and feel, from the classics though the dark years to the current,” said rhythm keeper Reiner about the songs collected in this set. “These tracks are more to do with power and melody rather than just the speed aspect, although there relevant gems included here! We could endlessly compile Anvil tracks, as most are outstanding in their own rights. I feel this Monument of Metal makes a statement introducing Anvil to new pounders along satisfying the faithful.”

Lips concurred, saying, “This compilation is a great diverse collection of Anvil’s history. It’s a good retrospective of 30+ years of the creating and recording of Anvil’s music. These tracks are among some of our favorites.” He did admit that choosing songs was no easy task, since each of Anvil’s songs is a like a kid to him, saying, “Picking them was not easy as generally speaking we love everything we’ve ever done….otherwise we wouldn’t have recorded the music to begin with. This will serve as a great introduction to Anvil as well as make for great listening pleasure for our old diehard fans. Enjoy and stay heavy!!!”
