The New York three-piece is 'one of the best American black-metal bands ever,' Justin Criado writes.
Despite making a name for themselves and carving out a new faction of black metal — New York black metal — Delaney isn’t necessarily satisfied.
“We put in the work because we need to, and we want to. There’s a reward in putting in that work. I don’t ever feel like the work is done,” he says. “I never feel the work is done. No matter who you are, no matter what you are in this thing, there’s always work. We’re not above each other. We’re always at each other’s side.”
Chatting while in the car with Glicken, whom he considers family, Delaney expresses an emotion not often associated with corpse paint and black leather: “I personally really do enjoy doing this every day. I enjoy it because when I look to my left, I have a brother who I love. I wouldn’t enjoy it if I didn’t have love involved. Then it would become purely work, and I would just not fucking do it,” he says.
The trio of musicians is about as New York as anything. Delaney’s bluntness during the interview is refreshing, if a little abrasive. But that’s exactly what you can expect at a Black Anvil show, too. It’s a “110 percent” effort every night, he adds, without being cocky or aloof. “I know for a fact that we’ll force whatever we can down your throat. It’s something that we can’t help,” Delaney says. “The second the first note hits, it’s like a possession, and we can’t control ourselves. It’s good for me that this many years later that I feel that when I play with these guys. When we play together, that fire still ignites the second that we play. That’s what you’ll get from us: You’ll get honesty and reality.
