ANVIL Question-And-Answer Session To Follow L.A. 'Story' Screening
November 2, 2010ANVIL's acclaimed documentary, "Anvil! The Story of Anvil", will be screened at the Regent Theater in Westwood, California on Thursday, November 4 at 10 p.m. Following the movie, ANVIL members Steve "Lips" Kudlow (vocals, guitar),Robb Reiner (drums) and Glenn Five (bass),along with the film's director, Sacha Gervasi, will be on hand to answer questions.
"Anvil! The Story of Anvil" was recently honored in the "Outstanding Arts & Culture Programming" category at the 31st Annual News & Documentary Emmy Awards presented by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences at Frederick P. Rose Hall, Home of Jazz at Lincoln Center, located in the Time Warner Center in New York City. The event was attended by more than 900 television and news media industry executives, news and documentary producers and journalists. Emmy Awards were presented in 41 categories, including "Breaking News", "Investigative Reporting", "Outstanding Interview", and "Best Documentary", among others.
"Anvil! The Story of Anvil" is the directorial debut of screenwriter Sacha Gervasi ("The Terminal") and was produced by Rebecca Yeldham ("The Kite Runner" and "The Motorcycle Diaries"). The film follows Kudlow and Reiner and their band, ANVIL, which released one of the heaviest albums in metal history, 1982's "Metal on Metal". The album influenced an entire musical generation of rock bands, including METALLICA, SLAYER, and ANTHRAX, who all went on to sell millions of records. ANVIL, on the other hand, took a different path — straight to obscurity. The film is both entertaining and touching as it follows their last-ditch quest for the fame and fortune that has been so elusive to them. "Anvil! The Story of Anvil" is a timeless tale of survival and the unadulterated passion it takes to follow your dream, year after year.
Praised as "the best documentary I've seen in years," by documentarian Michael Moore, "Anvil! The Story of Anvil" contains appearances by an array of heavy metal icons, including METALLICA's Lars Ulrich, former member of GUNS N' ROSES, Slash, ANTHRAX's Scott Ian, and SLAYER's Tom Araya, among others.
ANVIL recently entered Dave Grohl's (FOO FIGHTERS, NIRVANA, THEM CROOKED VULTURES) Studio 606 in Northridge, California with producer Bob Marlette (BLACK SABBATH, SLAYER, AIRBOURNE, FILTER, ATREYU, ALICE COOPER) to begin recording its new album, "Juggernaut Of Justice", for a spring 2011 release via The End Records.
