Legends never die. And Anvil is a legend. Even now, after so many years, they release a new album, which is titled “One and Only”. What is going on in this album? Of course, Anvil don’t change their signature sound, they stay true to their legacy and continue where their previous album (“Impact is Imminent”) stopped. Don’t wait for surprises; here we have the Anvil heavy metal sound, the Anvil way of heavy metal, pure, classic, traditional Anvil. So the metal is hot, nasty and … yeah, incredible! Fans of American heavy metal will really dig this release and will have an amazing time. God damn it, it’s full of great, sharp guitar riffs, pounding drums by Mr. Robb Reiner and visceral vocals, spit by Lips! if you are into Anvil, you will love this album. If you don’t know Anvil, then “One and Only” is the right reason for you to learn this historical metal band… Anvil is still alive and kicking and we all shall support these invincible guys. Let’s stay metal, let’s stay true, let’s listen to the one and only Anvil and their unique new full-length release!
