Toronto, Ontario, Canada-based metal band Anvil issued 18th full-length studio album Legal At Last<\/em> on February 14th, 2020 through AFM Records.<\/p>\n

\u201cLegal At Last<\/em> is mainly about two things,\u201d drummer Robb Reiner explained while pointing to the cover artwork. \u201cWe celebrate the legalisation of the Anvil bong because Canada changed its marihuana laws last year, which means we no longer sail close to the wind all the time. That\u2019s why the album title announces that Anvil are legal at last.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur fans have always known that, but the public at large treated us like criminals for a long time,\u201d added frontman Steve \u2018Lips\u2019 Kudlow. \u201cLegal At Last<\/em> is our way of telling the public: \u2018It\u2019s okay, Anvil are okay, you\u2019re allowed to like us at last!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Legal At Last<\/em> was produced by Martin \u201cMattes\u201d Pfeiffer, and mixed by J\u00f6rg Uken at his Soundlodge studio in Rhauderfehn, Germany.<\/p>\n

Cover artwork was created by W. Cliff Knese.<\/p>\n
