Anvil On Anvil
Anvil
Sometimes you ask a band you interview a number of questionsand you get so much information back you could fill an issue. When it comes to Anvil, they are men of few words. Short, powerful, and straight to the point. What can we say? Anvil is Anvil and we love them for it.

It’s as authentic as we could possibly be… pure self-reflection.

It is pure Heavy Metal without compromise… Never changing.
What is your most memorable performance in your career so far? and what made it so special?
Bang Your Head Festival 2015… We played a full set for a packed out audience,usually the set time is smaller and it was very rewarding and fulfilling…

Mostly music from the 60’s and 70’s… Hard Rock… Deep Purple, Black Sabbath… and many others.
