This Is Thirteen

Australian pressing includes three bonus tracks: 'Thumb Hang (also on the U.S. pressing), 'Metal on Metal' and '666'. Official 2009 release of the 13th album from the Canadian Heavy Metal band. The recording of this album is documented in the critically acclaimed documentary, the Story of Anvil. Forming in 1982, Anvil released one of the heaviest albums of all time Metal on Metal - influencing some of the biggest names in Rock including Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax. But while those bands went on to sell millions of albums and achieve international fame, Anvil's career took a different path - straight to obscurity. Their 25+ career has led to this album and renewed interest in the band thanks to the overwhelming response to the documentary.
