When you think about it there isn't really anything special about Anvil in the 1980's, apart from the fact that they did NWOBHM pretty damn good. 'Forged in Fire' is fast, aggressive and extremely solid, even for its genre.

Except for the fact that Metal On Metal and this one influenced all thrash bands around at the time.

Well I meant that there wasn't anything distinctive about it, especially compared to other albums of the same genre released at the same time:P

Amazing one, still don't get why this band is so unknown and underated. 80's albums are awesome, metal was new, not so many bands was around, not as today many genres and MA million bands, just what to listen. This is top level metal album from 80's well seems if I can give you 970 dollars I am bad because Metallica can give 1000 dollars.

IMHO this is Anvils Masterpiece! No fillers, slow, fast, great guitars, top vocals, melodic and catchy.

Shadow Zone is a superb song!

Adittional faves: The rest!!!
