They were always very creative in their naming schemes, heh. Their music always revolved around heavy metal and speed metal sounds. That’s the trademark of Anvil. Whereas other bands would often experiment with different styles and sounds, Anvil kept to the same formula, and that’s why I love them. You can find more about their discography on the band Wikipedia page. All the albums can be streamed on iTunes, Google Play and Deezer, so check them out there if you want to enjoy in some classic, old fashioned heavy metal.
