MCD have responded to the heavy hint dropped by them in the last issue of Hot Press and given Anvil a headlining show in the Dublin Academy on June 14. Tickets are €25.

One of the bands that helped kickstart the modern metal movement – Slash, Metallica and Anthrax are all fans – their Anvil – The Story Of Anvil documentary opens tonight in the IFI, Dublin.

Also available for your listening pleasure is their 13th studio album called, highly appropriately, This Is Thirteen.
