Over the past couple of days, I've been listening to a lot of Anvil, having added all their albums to my Spotify playlist. The albums and songs are a bit of a mixed bag, with some excellent heavy metal compositions, but some which wouldn't be out of place on a Spinal Tap album!

They were seminal back in the day, and are acknowledged as being a huge influence on bands such as Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax and Metallica

I gleaned as much, plus much more, from the superb documentary about them, film I've seen a few times. I added their albums to my playlist because I wanted to know them by their music rather than the people I see delivering frozen food to schools, trying to succeed on a tour, all work together in a recording studio.

From their early albums, it's easy to see/hear why they were so influential and regarded as a groundbreaking heavy metal outfit.
