HOLY GRAIL: Debut Album Artwork Unveiled
August 25, 2010"Crisis In Utopia", the debut album from the Los Angeles metal quintet HOLY GRAIL, will be released on October 26 via Prosthetic Records. The CD was produced by Danny Lohner (NINE INCH NAILS, A PERFECT CIRCLE) and features cover artwork by Andrei Bouzikov (SKELETONWITCH, MUNICIPAL WASTE).
Assembled 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, earned HOLY GRAIL significant press accolades including a two-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 the Metal Hammer's Golden Gods Awards this year in the "Best New Band" category — quite an honor since they haven't even released a full-length album yet! 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 currently on the road in North America as the support act for EXODUS.
