Canadian heavy metal band Anvil was headed for super stardom in the early 80s, touring with the likes of Bon Jovi, Whitesnake and the Scorpions. Then suddenly, they disappeared in to obscurity. Now with the release of the new documentary Anvil! The Story of Anvil, directed by Hollywood screenwriter Sasha Gervasi, the group may finally find the success that has eluded them - even though they've kept playing and recording all this time. Formed when they were teenagers in the 70s, guitarist and lead singer Steve "Lips" Kudlow, now 53 and drummer Robb Reiner, 51, are currently working on their 14th album. I sat down with the duo for an exclusive chat for the Huffington Post.
Zorianna: What was the dream for you guys back in the 80s and how is it different today?
Robb: It's the same now as it was back then - fame, recognition, music.
Lips: We've always continued to play live, but the difference now is making $500 for a gig versus $5000.
