Kudlow is referring to typical Anvil tracks such as 'Hope In Hell', which the Anvil guitarist considers a logical continuation of legendary numbers like 'Forged In Fire', 'Metal On Metal' and 'Plenty Of Power'. He also mentions 'Eat Your Words', according to Kudlow a "hybrid between 'Jackhammer' and '666', in other words pure Anvil, like in our early days." Pretty much the same applies to haunting new tracks like 'The Fight Is Never Won' and 'Call Of Duty', which present Anvil true to form. But there are also a number of real surprises on Hope In Hell: "A song like 'Badass Rock'n'Roll' with its rock'n'roll groove surprised even me", Kudlow admits. "It shows our great respect for bands like AC/DC and Motörhead. I'm sure that all Anvil fans will love this song because it's the best we've done in this direction." 'Mankind Machine' sees Kudlow & Co. break new ground: never before has this band sounded so mechanical (like the title suggests). And never before has it sounded as oriented to the classic rock feel of the seventies as in ´Time Shows No Mercy´.
