Anvil announce new album ‘Legal At Last’

ANVIL have announced a new album!

Titled Legal At Last, the upcoming album from the Canadian heavy metal titans is scheduled to be released in February next year.

Since their 2009 documentary film The Story Of Anvil which revealed the unvarnished truth about the music industry, the world has been aware that the day-to-day life of most musicians doesn’t consist of MTV Awards, Grammy ceremonies, red carpets, champagne and caviar but mainly of energy-sapping tours with little sleep, junk food and meagre earnings.

Speaking about the upcoming album, drummer Robb Reiner says, Legal At Last is mainly about two things,” he explains, pointing to the cover artwork with a grin. “We celebrate the legalisation of the ANVIL bong because Canada changed its marijuana laws last year, which means we no longer sail close to the wind all the time. That’s why the album title announces that ANVIL are legal at last.”

“Our fans have always known that, but the public at large treated us like criminals for a long time,” vocalist/guitarist Steve ‘Lips’ Kudlow adds. Legal At Last is our way of telling the public: ‘It’s okay, ANVIL are okay, you’re allowed to like us at last!”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have revealed the track list and artwork for the upcoming album; both of which are available to view below.
