Former Candlemass singer Messiah Marcolin (pictured above), and Lion's Share guitarist Lars Chriss, will join Canadian metal legends Anvil for a special one-song performance at their upcoming show in Stockholm, Sweden on October 26.
When it comes to the most influential bands in the history of heavy metal, authorities on the subject regularly vote Anvil among the top positions. The group from Toronto, Canada, with its two masterminds, guitarist/vocalist Steve "Lips" Kudlow and drummer Robb Reiner, and bassist Chris Robertson, not only looks back at an impressive career with countless highlights - as well as a number of well-documented difficulties - but has also had a lasting influence on lots of internationally renowned musicians, from Metallica to Slayer and beyond.
Both Chriss and Marcolin cite Anvil as a major influence, having discovered the band during their teenage years in the early '80s with classic albums such as Hard 'N' Heavy, Metal On Metal, and Forged In Fire.
The above mentioned performance will take place at The Encore in Sundbyberg (Stockholm County), Sweden on October 26. Get tickets here.
