Documentary about little-known Canadian metal band Anvil, whose 1982 album 'Metal on Metal' influenced a generation of heavy metal bands including Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax, all of whom went on to sell millions of records. But Anvil's career took a different path: straight to obscurity. The film tracks the band as they take an ill-advised European tour and release their 13th album in a last ditch attempt to hit the big time. (Altitude Film Distribution)

English Sometimes, a person comes across a real gem without knowing in advance that something like that exists or even hearing about it. But that is probably the fate of the band Anvil. Their film shows that it's not enough to just be a legend when you don't have a good manager backing you up or when you don't live in a time when it's truly easy to release your own music. Emotional, powerful, touching, unbreakable. These gentlemen deserve admiration. (11/04/2016)
