Worth the Weight

Anvil’s “Worth the Weight” on Mausoleum finds the Canadian heavy metal trio delivering raw, unpolished riffs and thunderous rhythms with the kind of stubborn conviction that defined their '80s output. Originally issued on cassette, this release captures the band’s workmanlike approach to heavy metal—no frills, just straightforward power and persistence. The tape format itself feels fitting for a group whose scrappy ethos and cult following have only grown since their 2008 documentary resurrection.
