For one night only, fans drove from Boston and New York to the Wolf Den at the Mohegan Sun Casino in CT to witness the Anvil Experience. Anvil, one of the greatest success stories of 2009 evoked their powerful onslaught of high-energized metal in huge volume on fans at the plush casino. 

Anvil, featuring Steve "Lips" Kudlow on lead vocals and guitar, drummer Robb Reiner, and bassist Glen Five performed a vast array of songs in a 90 - minute set that resonated all the way back to their debut album "Hard "N" Heavy" to their current release "This Is Thirteen."

Opening with "666", Steve "Lips" Kudlow was a ball of energy jumping off the stage into the audience unleashing the powerful Anvil fury to a wrath of headbangers. Steven "Lips" Kudlow commented,"Who would think that we would be playing at a casino? I wouldn't bet on it." The strongest material of the evening featured selections off of their current release,” This Is Thirteen" featuring the title track, "Flying Blind", and performed for the first time ever "Thumb Hang."

Anvil also performed the song from their first video back in 1987, "Mad Dog." Steven "Lips" Kudlow commented,” Metal is timeless. We are all growing old but not growing up." Other highlights included drum solo from Robb Reiner on "White Rhino."

After their performance, Anvil signed autographs for their many fans. You may have become familiar with Canadian legends Anvil from their critically acclaimed documentary Anvil - The Anvil Story but finally Canadian rock band Anvil has made it to New England to showcase the Anvil Experience that is only meant to be witnessed live.

Stay tuned for an Exclusive interview with Steve "Lips" Kudlow discussing the making of Anvil - The Story Of Anvil, their current album This Is Thirteen, performing at Loud Park and much, much more. You don't want to miss this.
