I’m going to continue the run through old school Metal history — and albums produced by Chris Tsangarides (see Tygers of Pan Tang’s Spellbound) — with the original kings of Canadian metal, Anvil. I found this tour promo version of the classic Metal on Metal at A-1 Records in the East Village. While some of the songs don’t hold up as well now, there are three all time classics on here that any self-respecting metalhead should have in their music library: the instrumental “March of the Crabs,” “666,” and of course the title-track which still kicks like a mother. Sadly it never got much better for these guys, as you’ll see in the new documentary coming out about the band. But Metal on Metal is still worth it’s weight.
