HOLY GRAIL RELEASE LYRIC VIDEO FOR NEW ALBUM'S TITLE TRACK

Los Angeles-based heavy metallers HOLY GRAIL have teamed with NOISECREEP to premiere the lyric video for the title track of their upcoming album, "Ride The Void." You can view the video directly on their site HERE or by watching the video below. The album, which will be released on Jan. 22 through PROSTHETIC RECORDS in U.S., Jan. 16 via Universal in Japan, and via Nuclear Blast on Jan. 18 in Europe and Jan. 21 in the UK, is currently available for pre-order through www.RideTheVoid.com. Pre-order bundles include "Ride The Void" on CD or LP along with either a t-shirt, long-sleeve, or pullover hoodie featuring the album’s artwork (featured above).




"Ride The Void," produced by Grammy award winner Matt Hyde (Slayer, Children of Bodom), was hailed by Decibel magazine, who claimed "You'd have to go back 20 years to find a metal record that achieves this level of instant infectiousness," while receiving a 9/10 from Outburn magazine and Blistering.com (who praised its "jaw-to-the-floor, wrist-spraining moments"). The band will kick off an extensive tour cycle on the upcoming Metal Alliance tour, which will see them play alongside Anthrax, Exodus, High on Fire, and Municipal Waste. Dates & tickets can be found on www.MetalAllianceTour.com.

HOLY GRAIL "Seasons Bleedings" Teaser Trailer Posted: Digital EP Available Now, 7" Coming Soon

Leaders of the new school of classic metal, Los Angeles' HOLY GRAIL, have posted a video teaser for their new holiday themed EP, "Seasons Bleedings."

The 7-inch includes covers of King Diamond's "No Presents For Christmas" and the Rainbow classic "Kill The King," and features artwork by Sam Turner (3 Inches of Blood).

The digital version of "Seasons Bleedings" will also include covers of Judas Priest's "Exciter" and Accept's "Fast As A Shark," both of which originally appeared on the group's out-of-print debut EP "Improper Burial." (A limited number of "Improper Burial" 7-inches, which do not include the covers, are still available through Prosthetic's webstore.)

HOLY GRAIL ANNOUNCE U.S./CANADA TOUR WITH CAULDRON

Fresh off a month long run with Eluveitie, Los Angeles' Holy Grail will be teaming up with Canadian band Cauldron for a North American tour April 15^th through May 12^th.  Holy Grail will close all U.S shows and Cauldron will close all Canadian dates.  Local bands chosen by Holy Grail, Cauldron, and the tour's promoters will fill out the bills in each market. 

Holy Grail has been touring in support of their fall 2010 release, "Crisis in Utopia", and has supported Exodus, Blind Guardian, and Eluveitie so far in the touring cycle.  Prior to this tour, Holy Grail will be going to the UK for a co-headline tour with Roadrunner Records band Revoker. 

Only assembled a few years ago, Holy Grail is already at the forefront of the new wave of metal that pays homage to such legends as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Dio.  The band's debut EP IMPROPER BURIAL (released in late 2009), featuring just two original tracks and two covers, earned Holy Grail significant press accolades including a 2-page feature in hometown paper LA Weekly, a spot on Decibel's "25 Most Anticipated Releases Of 2010" list and inclusion on Metal Hammer's "Guide To The Best In The Upcoming New Wave Of Trad Metal".  Holy Grail was also recognized with a nomination for Metal Hammer's 2010 Golden God Awards in the "Best New Band' category - quite an honor since they hadn't even released a full-length album yet!  Metal Hammer sums it up best: "With a killer name, awesome logo and a sound that is more metal than metal itself, Holy Grail are one of the most promising traditionally inclined metal bands to emerge from the US in the past decade...This is metal played with conviction and belief and you're going to love it."
