Anvil has been on a rock ´n´ roll journey for the past three decades, but it has become a very public rocket ride into the musical and pop culture stratosphere only recently.
The band proves it has the goods with Juggernaut of Justice, which was recorded at Dave Grohl´s studio in LA, as the Nirvana/Foo Fighters guru is a friend and fan. Producer Bob Marlette (Ozzy Osbourne, Marilyn Manson) manned the boards for an album that sounds like classic Anvil and is true-to-form. Reiner even went as far as to call it the best in the band´s 33-year history, declaring that “Lips sounds 20 years younger and it´s fresh, clean, beautiful songs and playing that has the energy of 25-year-old kids.”
He´s not kidding. The album is forceful enough to shift tectonic plates and generates a thrash attack that will have heavy music fans banging their heads so furiously that they burst blood vessels in their necks and purchase stock in Icy Hot.
