Juggernaut of Justice is receiving rave reviews: �Anvil come out swinging...invigoratingly thrashy tracks that radiate hunger and fire.� � Revolver Magazine �anthemic heavy rockers harking back to their earliest days... the familiar mixture of trad, speed, and power metal ...garnished with one of the best production jobs of their entire career.� � Allmusic.com �[ANVIL] sounds amazingly fresh... inspired by the players and exhilarating for the listener.� � Examiner.com �Juggernaut of Justice is their best record since �82.� � Popdose �...stronger, more aggressive and cohesive than Anvil has sounded in decades.� - Bravewords Considered a major influence for a generation of bands including Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, and Guns n� Roses, Anvil�s early releases Hard �n� Heavy (1981) and Metal on Metal (1982) helped shaped the genre of heavy metal. Twenty years after their first rise to success, the band became the subject of a critically acclaimed documentary, �Anvil! The Story of Anvil.� Directed by Sacha Gervasi, the film debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in 2008, and went on to win an Independent Spirit Award for Best Documentary in 2010. Hitting theatres all over the world and then released DVD, over 80 million people have seen the film to date, propelling the band back into the spotlight. Since the release of the film the band has toured the world, including performing at major festivals in the UK, Europe, South America, Australia and Japan. Anvil is currently on tour in Canada in support of the album.
