Leaders of the new school of classic metal, Los Angeles’ HOLY GRAIL, who have been in the studio working on the follow-up to 2010’s “Crisis In Utopia,” the past couple of months with Grammy-award winning producer, Matt Hyde (Slayer, Children of Bodom) have confirmed a string of US dates in March. The dates will take the band to Austin for South By Southwest, and most of them will see them alongside old friends and tourmates, Saviours. These dates are in addition to the previously announced Australian appearances at the Soundwave Festivals, and the “Sidewave” off dates.<\/p>\n

Front man James Paul Luna commented: “After months of endless writing, re-writing, recording and re-recording I’m so excited to go back on tour! Not only am I stoked to be playing SXSW but I’m even more stoked to play with our great buddies Saviours, who are pretty much the best dudes ever! Touring is a great escape from day to day stress and domesticated life and I miss that adventure into the ‘real world.’ I’m also really excited to see all the rad friends and fans we’ve made so far, and can’t wait to meet and make new ones. Cheers!”<\/p>\n
