[Anvil! The Story of Anvil] The title of this documentary, "Heavy Metal Spirit", is a bit big at first glance. How can a band represent a type of music? After watching this documentary in its entirety, you will get the answer.
When the band was 30 years old, Anvril, who was nearly five years old, was on a European tour organized by an enthusiastic fan and met: the owner who didn't pay because the band got lost and was late; single-digit audience; 174 viewers are actually exported.
Even more bleak is that they have encountered a venue of 2,000 people with only 5 spectators. Outside of the stage, they had jobs with meager incomes. They mortgaged their houses for their 13th album. In the end, the band's 13th album was still not released by a major record company, and they printed 1,000 copies themselves.
Unexpectedly, they were invited by a music festival in Japan. After 1/4 century, they set foot in the East and saw thousands of spectators...
A passage from Slash at the end of the film: There may be a lot of bands that sell tens of millions How many bands can exist for 30 years with a single album?
Are you moved to tears when you see the last five minutes?
