Anvil

Anvil: The Story of Anvil is a documentary out now on one of the original metal bands from the early 80s. I actually have an album of theirs on tape from around 83-84, Forged in Fire. They were pretty good and I always thought they should have gone farther. I'll definitely have to get around to checking this out at some point. Here's some notes from Rotten Tomatoes and the trailer. This is a great QA after their hometown screening. They really were an influential band for the transition from NWOBHM to Thrash, but they never made it on any kind of large scale. They kind of got lost in that transition. It's kind of nice to see them getting some props.
