The Anvil Experience features the Detroit premiere

of the acclaimed rock and roll documentary

“Anvil! The Story of Anvil,”

followed by a live performance

by the film’s heavy metal stars, Anvil.

“Anvil! The Story of Anvil” is the directorial debut of screenwriter Sacha Gervasi

(“The Terminal”) and was produced by Rebecca Yeldham

(“The Kite Runner” and “The Motorcycle Diaries”).

The film follows Steve “Lips” Kudlow and Robb Reiner and their band, Anvil, which released one of the heaviest albums in metal history, 1982’s Metal on Metal. The album influenced an entire musical generation of rock bands, including Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax, who all went on to sell millions of records.

Anvil, on the other hand, took a different path—straight to obscurity. The film is both entertaining and touching as it follows their last-ditch quest for the fame and fortune that has been so elusive to them. “Anvil! The Story of Anvil” is a timeless tale of survival and the unadulterated passion it takes to follow your dream, year after year.

Praised as “The best documentary I’ve seen in years,” by documentary film-maker Michael Moore, The London Times calls it “possibly the greatest film yet made about rock and roll.” “Anvil! The Story of Anvil” features appearances by an array of heavy metal icons, including Metallica’s Lars Ulrich, former member of Guns N’ Roses’ Slash, Anthrax’s Scott Ian, and Slayer’s Tom Araya, among others.

“This film is so much more than a documentary about the roots of metal. It's a story about the power of perseverance and friendship, and the passion that drives them,” explains Tom Calderone, President of VH1. “ ‘Anvil! The Story of Anvil’ has a huge heart and will resonate with viewers!”

Now with a U.S. Tour, the support of VH1 and VH1 Classic, a feature documentary, and an immeasurable amount of will and determination, the band is picking up where they left off twenty five years ago, - only this time they are finally “making it!”

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see Anvil perform live, and to be one of the first in the U.S. to screen “Anvil! The Story of Anvil!”
