I think these guys are creating a new genre of Metal called Soldier music and I think it's pretty cool!!
- Mike Cameo
"The music is iron, melodic, clean, with a hint of Bach in the rifts and trills.The vocals -all the right notes, it's almost uncanny how the harmony plays out so well. It speaks to the new generation of 'hand it over' zomboids"
- Jon/Dallas,TX
"Two Ton Anvil's music is Powerful, Heavy, Melodic and has gotten positive nods from those who have already heard and listened to it. "
- Mario Salazar

Bio
Dark Star recording artist’s Two Ton Anvil is lead and fronted by vocalist/guitarist founding member Reed McCallister who formed TWO TON ANVIL in 2008. The Two Ton Anvil project is some of the most marketable music the band has ever created. Reed added friend and bassist Glenn Christon and completed the band with drummer Paul O'Neal and guitarist Dave Janusz.
Combining several metal genres like mid tempo heavy groove with some fast metal there’s no doubt that tunes like "Victims," "Ballbreaker," and "Timebomb" are catchy tunes that will keep you listening. Maybe you want the speed of "Murder Cage" or the melodies of "Reach;" but whatever type of metal music you're looking for - these guys have it. The band has a meaty sound with huge vocals and catchy melody hooks that are guaranteed to hold your attention!
