Canadian rock legends from Anvil will release their new album, "Pounding The Pavement", on January 19, 2018 via SPV/Steamhammer. The album was produced at the Soundlodge studios in Rhauderfehn in the northwest of Germany, where ANVIL found in the studio owner ,Jörg Uken, the ideal producer for their ambitioned work.
Guitarist/vocalist Steve "Lips" Kudlow explains: "The songwriting process started immediately after the work on our previous album, 'Anvil Is Anvil', had been completed. So our thoughts instantly turned to the future again. After 'Anvil Is Anvil' had been cut, everybody knew what we had just delivered and what ANVIL's future should sound like. Of course we always allow inspirations from earlier recordings to seep in, but always with an emphasis on evolving the characteristic ANVIL sound. Lots of fans keep asking us to play the way we did in the so-called good old days. That's why I try from time to time to pick up on that exciting feel of our older material. Mind you, it's always exclusively about the basic atmosphere of that time, never about copying an older song."
The album title "Pounding The Pavement" is a synonym for the consistently serious issues of Anvil had all these years, trying to survive. Kudlow says: "I feel nothing could describe the way we've been working for the past forty years better than 'Pounding The Pavement'. ANVIL have tried for four decades to earn enough money to survive and continue to make music."
A classic metal band, they do metal like no one!
