MusicFilmWeb: How must it feel after going through all the stuff you went through in the movie, and for the 20 years before the movie, to suddenly be jetting around the world and have people talk about the movie the way they're talking about it?

Lips: "It's amazing, man. It's a miracle. It is a true, honest-to-god miracle. There's no other way to describe it."

ANVIL! The Story Of Anvil - UK Trailer Available

At 14, Toronto school friends Steve "Lips" Kudlow and Robb Reiner made a pact to rock together forever. Their band, ANVIL, went on to become the "demigods of Canadian metal," releasing one of the heaviest albums in metal history, 1982's Metal on Metal. The album influenced a musical generation, including METALLICA, SLAYER, and ANTHRAX, that went on to sell millions of records. But Anvil's career took a different path - straight to obscurity.

Picking up on their story 26 years later, director Sacha Gervasi has concocted an achingly touching and often hilarious account of Anvil's last-ditch quest for elusive fame and fortune. Not since Metallica: Some Kind of Monster has such an incredibly raw, candid, hearbreaking and truly inspirational story been captured on film. At its core, Anvil! The True Story of Anvil is a timeless tale of survival and the unadulterated passion it takes to follow your dream, year after year. Anvil rocks - it has no other choice.

In the words of Rolling Stone: "some of the scenes in Anvil are so outrageous, it feels like this must be a Spinal Tap sequel. It isn't. These guys are for real."
