Although their music is pretty much an antiquated rehash of what was cool twenty five years ago, it's hard not to root for at least middling success for the wash-out protagonists of Anvil! The Story of Anvil.
These also-rans shared a brief moment of stardom alongside Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and the like, before somewhat inexplicably being left by the wayside during the late 80's metal pinnacle.
The lead singer-guitarist and drummer's relationship is amazingly complex, like that of the duo from American Movie but one degree more self-aware and one degree less drug-addled. Together, throughout a semi-debacle European tour and the recording of a new album, they share their thoughts on fame, failure, the methodical passage of time, death, love, friendship, money, and, of course, music.
Good luck, gentlemen. Good luck.
