As always, Kudlow and founding member and drummer Robb Reiner, are at the epicentre of this heavy metal extravaganza. For the past eight years, they have been supported by bassist Chris Robertson, who not only complements the&nbsp;<strong>ANVIL<\/strong>&nbsp;fold on a personal level, but also enhances the tracks with his powerful low frequency bass parts and backing vocals.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today,&nbsp;<strong>ANVIL<\/strong>&nbsp;shared a first single alongside a music video for the full pedal-to-the-metal anthem &#8216;Ghost Shadow&#8217;!

As a result, the new material sounds monolithic, right down to the very last details, both in terms of rhythm and harmonies. In the past, our studio sessions were sometimes like a little like jumping in at the deep end, with us having to improvise a lot and making decisions at short notice. Working on \u2018Impact Is Imminent\u2019, not only was there plenty of time for the songwriting process in the run-up to the recordings, but I also had the leisure to put all my ideas to the acid test and work on them until they were perfect.\u201d<br><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like its three predecessors \u2018Anvil Is Anvil\u2019 (2016), \u2018Pounding The Pavement\u2019 (2018) and \u2018Legal At Last\u2019 (2019), \u2018Impact Is Imminent\u2019 was produced by Martin \u2018Mattes\u2019 Pfeiffer (U.D.O., among others) and J\u00f6rg Uken at Uken\u2019s Soundlodge studios, so the successful combination consisting of Anvil\/Pfeiffer\/Uken has struck again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The album pre-sale of\u00a0<strong><em>Impact Is Imminent<\/em><\/strong>, available as CD, Vinyl and Digital formats on May 20, 2022, has just started at\u00a0<strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.promojukebox.com\/nwldel\/link\/?nlsendlistid=2483376&amp;checkcode=f17ce0c1872208cc&amp;urlcc=e637a431b81f6d8e&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.afm-records.de%2Fanvil%2F\" target=\"_blank\">THIS LOCATION!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tracklist:<\/strong><br>01.
