White Wizzard Offshoot Holy Grail Begin Work On Debut Album
02/08/2010
.
Los Angeles rising star metal quintet Holy Grail will head in to the studio this month to record their debut album, Crisis In Utopia, due out on Prosthetic Records in late Spring. Acclaimed producer/remixer/musician Danny Lohner (Nine Inch Nails, A Perfect Circle) will be at the production helm.
Previously known as Sorcerer, Holy Grail features members from a former line-up of White Wizzard. Assembled less than a year 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, has 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". In its short career, the band has already toured with the likes of 3 Inches Of Blood and Saviours (in support of Improper Burial) and is confirmed a number of major metal festivals this summer.
With monster vocals, not one, but two guitar virtuosos and a thundering rhythm section, Holy Grail's sound is at once classic, yet contemporary, encompassing the best of traditional metal with a youthful spirit. Holy Grail is James Paul Luna (vocals), Eli Santana (guitar), James J. LaRue (guitar), Blake Mount (bass) and Tyler Meahl (drums).
