Monument Of Metal
''Monument of Metal'' is a 2011 compilation album by Canadian heavy metal band Anvil. Album artwork The artwork for this compilation album features an enormous statue of an anvil in a park courtyard bordered with Canadian flags. Inside the courtyard can be seen tiny silhouettes of people, which helps give the actual monument its scale. The concept was taken from an original painting done by drummer, Robb Reiner, the only real difference being that the album cover features a very warm cloud laced sky where the original featured a clear blue sky. The original artwork can be seen hanging in Reiner's basement on the acclaimed rock documentary, ''Anvil! The Story of Anvil ''Anvil!

Anvil (band)
Anvil is a Canadian heavy metal band from Toronto, Ontario, formed in 1978. The band currently consists of founding members Steve "Lips" Kudlow (vocals, guitar), Robb Reiner (drums), and Chris Robertson (bass). As of 2022, the band has released nineteen studio albums, and has been cited as having influenced many notable heavy metal groups, including Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, and Metallica. Reviewers have described Anvil as a pioneering heavy metal band that was popular in the 1980s but then faded into obscurity in the 1990s, while refusing to stop playing, recording, and gigging. Anvil's antics on and off stage, the setbacks they suffered, and their determination to keep going have been compared to the fictional band Spinal Tap. History Formation (1973–1981) Anvil began in April 1973 in Toronto, when high school friends Steve "Lips" Kudlow and Robb Reiner began playing music together. They met through a friend, guitarist and neighbour Marty Hoffman, but "musical di ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Speaking of his music during this time, Kudlow has stated that his focus was primarily on writing original material, elaborating with "I made sure it would consume all my time. I wanted it to be a lifelong project. I was set on having a long career in rock 'n' roll; I didn't want to be an overnight sensation. In fact, even some of my decisions, the way I wrote some songs, maybe could have even been to make sure of that… It wasn't about writing a hit single for me; it was about making music that people really dug."
