UPDATE! OUR SWEEPSTAKES IS OVER. THANKS TO ALL THE PARTICIPANTS!
For a long time now, metal mavens and thudmeisters have known that Anvil is one of their music’s best kept secrets. But since the arrival of Anvil! The Story of Anvil, lots of “regular” music fans have also discovered the power of the veteran Canadian rockers. The acclaimed documentary captures the group’s relentless spirit. Nope, the guys in Anvil have never been superstars. But they have carried on in the face of adversity. Turns out some dudes just love to rock. Guess that’s why Rolling Stone says the movie is a “tear-inducing testament to human perseverance.” WATCH CLIPS
The film has garnered all its accolades while being shown in limited release – an even bigger success story. Today, May 15, it opens to a much wider audience (see the list of cities and theaters after the jump), and we’re celebrating with a sweet little sweepstakes.
The guys in Anvil, including founders Steve “Lips” Kudlow and Robb Reiner, will have brunch with the winner and three friends in the winner’s hometown. That’s right, quite soon you just might be enjoying a heavy metal omelette with one of rock’s most ear-shattering bands. The brunch date also includes a car service pick-up and drop-off for the winner and his/her friends. Winner and guests must be 21 or over.
Winners will be chosen in a random drawing, but to enter you must comment on the movie. Watch the trailer above and tell us why you’d like to see this film.
Respond in the “comments” field below, and cross your fingers. You may soon be enjoying brunch with Anvil. Contest ends on June 5. Enter right now.

I can’t wait to see it
I want to see this film because i have been a fan of Anvil since i was a little rodent. Forged in Fire is the first record i ever bought… a total classic. I want to know why these guys didn’t make it big and what i can do to change that.
This movie was killer made me laugh, cheer, wanna kick someone’s ^`!((*!!^(%&(@! the club owner that wouldn’t pay them),and I almost got teary. After the movie Anvil came out and played a 5 songs,best $8.50 I ever spent.
I would like to see this movie because they are going to be on Sons of Anarchy and I love that series!

Brunch with Anvil? Rock on!
Great music!
I’ve seen the film twice and was just blown away by the band’s live performance in NYC. As a life long fan of heavy metal and a musician trying to make it in this world, not a day will go by from now on that i won’t be listening to Anvil for inspiration, hope, and for a smile. I want to see this movie again and again because despite being and amazing band, these gentlemen are proof that life is worth living and dreams are worth dreaming because sometimes they just might come true.
I have watched a series of trailers so far and will have to get along with those until the movie reaches @&~+~“$&!@)^~+ an (at cinemas or DVD). There are many reasons I could mention for going watching the movie (the story itself, the place Anvil have in my personal education and life, etc.), but I’ll tell you: I absolutely want to watch it, because ANVIL not only are the most representative band on earth as for true METAL and metal dedication, but above all because they have always been “people”, just like their fans, living for what they believe and keeping going onward in the face of everybody. And that’s just what everybody does and want to be recognized for.

Anvil rox!
Anvil rocks!
I would love to meet ANVIL in NYC or Montclair. Jake has alot of their music and it would be an awesome experience. Thanks for having this contest.
We are in Northern NJ (Bergen County), but also have access to a coop downtown so we are very accesible and would be glad to meet the guys for brunch anywhere – just pick us as the winner!!!!
I like that it is old school!
I would like to see this film because it sounds very interesting!
Great video, really funny
I can’t think of a more wonderful way to treat my friends that brunch with Anvil. We are a small township, a close community.
I am a huge heavy metal fan and I was in my twentys in the eighties, loved all the concerts I went to and never heard of Anvil till I saw the show on Vh1 (Anvil the story of Anvil), I was so taken by the show that I had to know everything I could about the band, including getting all there music to listen to. I still have to watch the Vh1 special everytime I catch it on, My wife thinks im nuts but she knows how much I wanted to feel the dream these guys have relentlessly pursued when I left high school as a young drummer and chose a safe career and marriage and kids instead. Rock on Anvil, you guys deserve your dream.
