The Los Angeles-based heavy metal outfit HOLY GRAIL will mercilessly shred across the highways of North America this year as they serenade audiences new and old with material from their blazing new album "Times of Pride and Peril," scheduled for worldwide release via Prosthetic Records on Feb. 12. The band – who in recent weeks gigged alongside the likes of King Diamond, Flotsam & Jetsam and Death Angel, in addition to touring with Night Demon – will begin their assault with a stretch of dates in early February alongside iconic guitarist Marty Friedman before joining Georgia heavy metal trio Black Tusk on a full North American jaunt that extends into April. A full list of upcoming dates can be found below, while tickets and event details can be found at www.holygrailofficial.com.
"Times of Pride and Peril" is the highly anticipated follow-up to HOLY GRAIL's acclaimed 2013 effort "Ride the Void," which Blabbermouth lauded as "an impressive confluence of dazzling musicianship and catchy, anthemic songwriting." Recorded with Grammy Award-winning producer John Spiker (Tenacious D, Filter), the album encompasses the rise and fall of an empire, showcasing a history of triumphs and defeats through the group’s quintessential shreddery. The album will be available for pre-order on CD, LP and digital download starting this Friday, Jan. 8, when a new song will be unveiled.
