In the former '80s, the Canadian great metal band Anvil made an impact on the development speed metal scene. Their showtime three albums featured some mind-boggling technically advanced metal at a antecedently unheard-of speed -- well-grounded for the interest of heavy, not songs. After releasing their third album in 1983, the band sank into a mire of legal and creative problems where their accomplishments and popularity were eclipsed by the bands that defined f number and thrash alloy -- Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth -- among other lesser-knowns wHO were all in debt to Anvil's old work. After two marginally successful comeback albums in 1987 and 1988, guitar player Dave Allison left and the lot efficaciously depart recording.
