Anvil - Legal At Last (2020) FLAC

When it comes to virtues such as endurance, unconditional commitment and a thoroughly down-to-earth attitude, Anvil is the measure of all things. Like few other metal acts, the band has earned its laurels of blood, sweat and tears. Since their 2009 documentary film "The Story Of Anvil", which reveals 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 de force with little sleep, junk food and meagre earnings. Yet these difficult conditions have made Anvil what it is today: a band that stands solid as a rock in the turbulent waters of a musical genre that produces music by fans for fans like no other. So Robb Reiner refers with a sense of justified pride to Anvil’s latest release "Legal At Last" simply as 'one more Anvil album'.

Yet its new album is very special to Anvil: “Legal At Last is mainly about two things”, Reiner explains. “We celebrate the legalisation of the Anvil bong, because Canada changed its marihuana 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 is legal at last. Our fans have always known that, but the public at large treated us like criminals for a long time.” Kudlow adds: “Legal At Last is our way of telling the public: it’s OK, Anvil is OK, you’re allowed to like us at last!’”
