Along with Accept and Manowar, Anvil were one of the last heavy metal bands to surface before thrash hit the scene. And like Accept and Manowar, Anvil released a landmark classic metal album in 1982. Unlike Accept and Manowar, following said landmark release Anvil's reputation never exceeded the status of a cult favourite. Whether the reason was bad timing, bad label support or bad luck, it sure as hell could not have been bad music. Read more ›› |

This is everything metal is and should; if you don't have this record in your collection then you're not a true metal head. Metal On Metal is the sound of heavy metal and just as important as Judas Priest, Iron Maiden or Motörhead. When you listen to this album you will know the true meaning of metal. Whether it's killer riffs, guitar solos or sick drum beats Anvil will deliver it to you. They have a great sound it, reminds me of early Judas Priest records but heavier. Read more ›› |

The Scorpions song is from 1990. This song is 8 years older.

Unlike the disappointing debut, this one actually has some fine songs, such as: "Mothra", "Jackhammer", "666", "Heat Sink" and "Tease Me, Please Me". The title track and instrumental "March Of The Crabs" is okay too. For 1982 it's a pretty innovative album with some decent Speed Metal tracks! P.S. The main riff of "Scenery" is stolen from Ozzy's "Crazy Train", even F#m key is the same. 
---- Glory to the Nation!
