sounds. These hardworking blue-collar family men filled the crowds with intoxicating beats & eye-popping lyrics. Their raw & real stage presence was fueled with intensity & extreme energy. This spectacular collective represented a hypnotizing thick & massive sound, characterized by their blistering & amplified guitar riffs scorching out of Fabio La Rocca mixed with the rich & colorful emphatic bass beats of the significantly impressive Kevin Brazolot. Sir Bassolot strutted the stage dominating the rounding backbeat along with Cam Cathcart’s strong hard and heavy hitting style, truly marking the skins, giving way for the newest addition Christopher Bennett as frontman/lead vocalist who grabbed you by the throat withhis vocal abilities ranging from a deep heavy baritone with tenor tendencies into raspy guttural growls and metal screams that define the original Demolition Rage sound. Their impressive set list focused on songs from their 2 albums

Headliners were none other than Canada’s innovators of Metal, the iconic ANVIL. Captivating & timelessly explosive are words I use to best describe these mighty trailblazing forces. In show biz for 41 years, 17 studio albums, 1 LIVE album, 3 compilation CD’s, a JUNO AWARD, their own movie ANVIL The Story of Anvil & songs implanted in videos games/movies, their own Novel & this power trio is still rockin’ strong. Steve “Lips” Kudlow, Robb Reiner & Chris Robertson are touring in support of their newest 2018 album Pounding the Pavement & ANVIL kicked off their set with Steve ‘Lips’ Kudlow comfortably smack dab in the middle of the audience, as fans swarmed as Steve performed March of the Crabs.I am utilizing my Aug. 2016 Anvil photo above as the crowd was so thick surrounding Steve this time, I couldn’t get near with my camera.
Then Steve rejoins Robb Reiner & Chris Robertson on stage for a fan freakingtastic performance of Metal magic with one Baddass Rock n Roll hit after another. Bringing us back to the good old 80’s days where they pioneered heavy metal hair bands & influenced the careers of many notables including Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax & Metallica. These Winged Assassins projected epic & finely calibrated tunes Ooh Baby it was like you were back listening in 1983 to their hard n heavy album Forged in Fire album, which lead right into 666 from Metal on Metal back in 1982.
Anvil showed they are still Running & On Fire (2011’s Juggernaut of Justice) after performing non stop round the world for 4 decades. Steve dedicated their Free As The Wind (2000’s Forged in Fire) in memory of Motorhead’s Lemmy Kilmister with huge applause & Steve was thrilled for the response & to see Anvil’s army singing their hits loud & proud, while at one point Lips conducted the audience.
