ANVIL – Juggernaut Of Justice Takes Number 1 Spot On in WJCU’s Metal On Metal Top 25 Year-End Album Countdown

ANVIL’s latest album Juggernaut Of Justice has taken the Number one spot in WJCU’s Metal On Metal Top 25 year-end album countdown show, which aired live on January 6th.

Metal On Metal host Bill Peters commented: “It feels like your hometown team winning the Super Bowl to me. My listeners could not have given me a better gift to start off my 30th year of broadcasting. Juggernaut Of Justice is Anvil’s best studio album since Forged In Fire. I really loved it quite a lot. I’m glad my listeners felt the same by voting it number one this year.”

This was the 28th year of the poll, which is an annual tradition with metal fans in Cleveland and one of Metal On Metal’s most popular programs. Listeners were asked to nominate their top three albums of 2011. 1,089 votes were received.

Anvil vocalist/guitarist Steve “Lips” Kudlow commented: “To Bill and every one of his listeners, I’d like to thank you with all my heart! We hoped so much that people would love the Juggernaut Of Justice album and it’s such an honor and privilege to have been voted Number one by the fans. So it’s not just about a movie, people have embraced our new music too. This is a celebration of complete fulfillment. Fucken eh!”

Anvil drummer Robb Reiner further commented: “Great news. I love Cleveland, great music town, along with the years of faithful support from Bill Peters for keeping the majesty of Anvil’s music alive for all to discover and enjoy. Thank you rockers!”
