DocumentaryMusic

At 14, best friends Robb Reiner and Lips made a pact to rock together forever. Their band, Anvil, hailed as the "demi-gods of Canadian metal" influenced a musical generation that includes Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax. Following a calamitous European tour, Lips and Robb, now in their fifties, set off to record their 13th album in one last attempt to fulfill their boyhood dreams.

A surprisingly emotional and hilarious journey of lifelong friends chasing their metal dreams against all odds. It's a testament to unwavering passion and the enduring power of brotherhood, even when the world isn't listening.
