Canadian heavy metal legends ANVIL have signed a new recording contract with The End Records. As recently announced, the band is currently recording their upcoming album entitled Juggernaut of Justice at Dave Grohl’s Studio 606 in Northridge, California with famed producer Bob Marlette. Juggernaut is due to be released in Spring 2011. Prior to the release of the new album, The End will be releasing the definitive ANVIL anthology. The collection will be comprised of classics old and new, with some surprises, and will showcase the band’s entire career spanning back to 1978.
ANVIL was the subject of 2009’s award-winning rock documentary, Anvil! The Story of Anvil.
Singer/guitarist Steve “Lips” Kudlow commented, “I must say that this is by far the best ANVIL ever. There will be a few new surprises including Glenn 5’s first lead vocals in ANVIL’s history. The production that Bob Marlette has done far surpasses anything we’ve done in the past. The excitement within the band is over the top and we can’t wait to unleash this amazing cd to the fans.”
Drummer Robb Reiner concurs, “The new album is pure ANVIL with a new fresh kick, very exciting. Looking to rocking with The End, putting the music where it belongs - in everybody’s ears and face!”
ANVIL are currently planning a world tour for 2011 in support of Juggernaut of Justice. Details will be announced shortly.
