ANVIL! The Story of Anvil ...HotDocs 08, April 17th & 18th www.hotdocs.ca
The story of ANVIL goes back to the early roots of Heavy Metal. ANVIL was a true pioneer of this genre of music beginning their career in the late 70’s. They began recording albums in 1981 with their debut album called Hard and Heavy. It was well received in England where they ended up playing some of the worlds most revered rock festivals, The Monsters of Rock and Reading Festivals. The band recorded two albums with producer Chris Tsangarides called Metal on Metal and Forged in Fire, which remain as classic albums to this day. The band went on to tour with Motorhead in the United Kingdom. ANVIL also played in Japan as a headliner in 1983 and then on a massive festival circuit with Michael Shenker Group, Scorpions, Whitesnake and Bon Jovi in 1984 at the Super Rock festival series. This was the first festivals of this type ever held in Japan. ANVIL has continued working very hard producing albums on a regular basis and has never given up their dream. They have recorded 13 studio albums to date and are currently looking for distribution for the newest cd appropriately titled This is Thirteen. The album was recorded in England with producer Chris Tsangarides and truly ventures back with a vengeance to the classic ANVIL sound. In recent years ANVIL has been fortunate enough to get evolved with a very special friend Sacha Gervasi who is currently directing and executively producing a docudrama about the bands real life history in real time. There is incredible footage of actual experiences touring and recording in the past 2 years. Sacha is known for his great work with Steven Spielberg on the movie Terminal, staring Tom Hanks. The ANVIL movie debuted at the prestigious Sundance Festival in January 2008. People love this band when they learn about their incredible tenacity and dedication to their music. It comes out in the live performance so intensely it is a truly overwhelming experience. Something not to be overlooked or missed. www.anvilmovie.com

DVD/film of the year went to the documentary Anvil! The Story of Anvil - which has led to renewed popularity for the Canadian metal band, who formed in the late 70s.
Frontman Steve "Lips" Kudlow said: "I'm a guy who's worked my whole life for this, and it's the most rewarding moment I've ever had."
He also revealed that a big-screen sequel was likely.
"Everybody wants to know what the outcome is. I would say there is a very good chance there will be a follow-up to this."

ALL the guys in Azrael's Bane will be attending the Houston,Tx show Jan 24th at the House of Blues. Metal on Metal! Hails!
