Iconic Canadian metallers ANVIL have announced the forthcoming release of their 19th studio album, “Impact Is Imminent”. The new release is scheduled to arrive in May however, you can check out the album’s cover artwork below.
Earlier this month, ANVIL guitarist/vocalist Steve “Lips” Kudlow spoke to The Metal Voice about the band’s upcoming follow-up to 2020’s “Legal At Last”, saying: “The new album is completed and mixed and done. What can I say? I can’t wait till it comes out.
“The whole thing is a bit weird and odd because we put out an album and then never got to tour for it,” he continued, referencing the aforementioned “Legal At Last”. “So it’s, like, where is the tour for the last album already? So, what is the last album, just spinning our wheels? What was that? What happened? Now I’m in a position where I’m putting out another album, and I’m gonna have to actually try to push both albums. It’s, like, I don’t know. I’ve never been in a position like that.”
Lips added: “And then at the same time, while all this is going on, I got back from [recording in] Germany, of course, in October and have been writing songs since I got back. Because, of course, the last song I wrote was before I left — months before — so I had months of time off, not doing anything. So we started back in on it. We’re at [song] number 10 already — for the next album.”
“Legal At Last” came out in February 2020 via AFM Records.
