Anvil! The Story of Anvil (2008)

Embarking on a lifelong pact at the tender age of 14, best friends Robb Reiner and Lips form the band Anvil, destined to become the unsung heroes of Canadian metal. Revered as demi-gods in the music industry, Anvil endlessly influences the successive generation of rock, inspiring titans like Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax. Yet, despite their monumental impact, they find themselves caught in the paradox of immense influence without the taste of commercial success. Over the course of almost three decades, since 1978, Anvil's music continues to reverberate through the landscape of heavy metal, but their commercial recognition remains an elusive dream. Following a tumultuous European tour in 2006, a spark of unwavering determination ignites within Lips and Robb. As they enter their fifties, they channel this tenacity towards a final, audacious endeavor - recording their thirteenth album. This stirring journey of friendship, passion, and undying dreams captures Anvil's relentless pursuit of their boyhood aspirations, painting the poignant picture of two rock visionaries refusing to surrender to obscurity. Through trials and tribulations, the duo's compelling story reflects the pulsating heart of their music and their unwavering commitment to rock together, forever.
