Cult metal band, Anvil, played an amazing show to a packed house bursting at the seams with enthusiastic loyal fans from both the US and its northern neighbor.

Anvil formed in 1978 in Ontario. The band ironically has become one of heavy metal’s most influential yet commercially unsuccessful acts according to the 2008 movie documentary, Anvil: The Story of Anvil. Their performance at The Token Lounge in Westland, Michigan, brimming with attitude and vigor, proved these guys can still deliver after more than 35 years.

Following the success of their documentary, they gained a second wave of popularity; playing Download Festival 2009, headlining the Tuborg stage and support slots for both AC/DC and Saxon. From June to July 2010 the band went on a headline tour of Europe, selling out venues in the UK, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands.

Forward to 2013 which sees Anvil release a new album Hope In Hell. The album included original founding members Steve “Lips” Kudlow (guitar/vocals), Robb Reiner (drums), and newest member Sal Italiano (bass).

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a band as happy to be playing their music as Anvil is! These guys were truly amped to play. Lips had a giant smile on his face practically the whole time. The passion and joy they felt playing in front of the eager crowd was palpable at The Token Lounge that night.

No other band deserves the success they are finally getting more than Anvil. They made a pact to rock together forever. They meant it. They’re doing it.

Dark Avenger is a classic style heavy metal band based in Detroit. The band consists of Dennis Schwan (Vocals), Michael Erdody (Guitars), Nick Marocco (Drums), Ryan Goldsworthy (Guitars), and Art Mccauley (Bass).

Originally starting out in 2009 under the name JOSH PIT, they changed their name to Dark Avenger in 2011, named after the Manowar song of the same name. They now play all around Detroit, keeping true metal alive. Pulling the crowd in with their hoard hitting guitar riffs and drums, and frontman Dennis Schwan’s powerful voice, the band gave a performance worthy of an arena show.

The MOD is a one man hard rock band. Gary Modlinski started the instrumental one man band a few years back with classic covers, and has since started to integrate his instrumental originals. Shredding on guitar to a killer back track, it was an awesome opening act.
