The video speaks to the pace and intention of the song as it’s supposed to carry the viewer through the music. Like a lot of our videos, there’s a lot of love being put into them as Sam has found a passion in directing and editing. **What do you want your fans to take away from the video?** Creatively, we took influences from 90’s shoegaze bands so therefore, I took a more dramatic approach to the lyrics and melodies as I wanted to play up the gimmick a bit. Most producers would’ve wanted their corrective elements to be show, but by letting the song breathe and form itself, it made the song grow beautifully. Everybody knew this song didn’t need much more to be finished and that included our producer Joe Chiccarelli, who really let the song guide itself. Every part after that fell right into place as we finished it in a full band live setting. By the end of the recording process, I didn’t have to change much. Charlie sent me a little verse/chorus shoegaze guitar and drum bit that I thought was really cool, and I very quickly laid down my vocals at home. “Anvil “was an interesting one because it was the most cut and dry song \\we wrote. **What's the inspiration behind the track "Anvil?” Where and when was it written?** “Anvil,” while exhibiting a sound that’s entirely new to their sonic canon, is immediately enticing, an undeniable head-bobber, and a perfect example of this group’s inability to stay one note-they couldn’t if they tried.Īhead of the single’s release, _Flaunt_ had the opportunity to chat with Dylan Nash about the track, the process behind it, its accompanying music video, and more. This was fun for us because we grew up playing around a lot of shoegaze bands but never was one, so it was exciting/challenging to write a song in a genre that we could never imagine playing but love so much.”Īs always, Liily aim to engulf their listeners in a lush sonic landscape with each release, and this time around, they take a sharp left turn, but don’t veer off the tracks. I really tried to poke fun at the intensity at which a song like this could have, exemplifying that through hyperbolic statements like ‘I made my death bed’ or ‘it might be the last thing I ever wear’-just to be as outrageous as possible in the fewest words possible. On the single, Liily said: “‘Anvil’ is our attempt at a shoegaze song and ultimately my attempt at variation lyrically. It’s a definite change in pace, a breather amidst a high-energy sequence of tracks that adds another trick up the band’s sleeve. As opposed to grabbing listeners by their necks with chaotic, frenzied instrumentation and banshee-like screams, it shakes them awake with droning static and marching drums. It lurches forward with a sluggish, reverb-heavy instrumental backdrop, complemented by vocalist Dylan Nash’s subdued, slightly distorted, and ultimately soft vocal hymnals.

What has surprised me the most on Hope In Hell is what a good guitarist that Lips really is - the guitar solos sound really good and for the most part complement the other parts of the songs quite nicely.”Īnvil are scheduled to embark on a massive tour of Europe in support of former Accept frontman Udo Dirkschneider‘s new band titled Dirkschneider. Sleaze Roxx stated the following in its review of Hope In Hell: “The songs on Hope In Hell appear to be typical Anvil fare - fast and furious for the most part, with some awesome drumming by icon Robb Reiner and punctuated by Lips‘ unique vocal delivery.
