So far, 2009 has been the year of Anvil's career. Four decades into a career filled with the kinds of exhilarating highs and soul sinking lows usually reserved for a Hollywood movie, it's fitting that it took a documentary to bring the Canadian metal stalwarts right smack into the middle of the pop culture consciousness.

Directed by one-time roadie and current screenwriter Sacha Gervasi, 'Anvil! The Story of Anvil' has garnered glowing reviews all the way across the board with 'Fahrenheit 9/11' director Michael Moore raving, "it's the best documentary I've seen in years."

The folks at Rolling Stone magazine spoke with vocalist/lead guitarist Steve "Lips" Kudlow and drummer Robb Reiner about the uplifting spirit of the film and their plans for their 14th album, 'Juggernaut of Justice.' With the whirlwind press tour Anvil has been on these past few weeks, don't hold your breath waiting for it. Check out Anvil in the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine which hits newsstands tomorrow!
