In a new interview with Greg Prato for Songfacts, singer/guitarist Lips of influential Canadian act Anvil discusses, among other topics, the band’s place in the thrash metal genre. An excerpt follows:
Q: How do you rate Anvil among the leading contributors to what became known as thrash metal?
A: “I don’t know whether I’m in a position to say anything about that. That’s for others to make those judgment calls.”
Q: I think Anvil was definitely one of the first bands that you could say trailblazed that style of music.
A: “Yeah, and it’s weird, because we didn’t look at it as that’s what we were doing. All that we were trying to do when we did that was be unique and do something that no one else did or tried. It really is as simple as that. You’re not thinking, ‘Oh, yeah, everybody’s going to copy this.’ You don’t start thinking that way. That’s pretty, I would say, arrogant.”
