\n\u201cExodus are longtime favorites of mine and the other HG guys. Ever since I first saw the video from their \u2018Ultimate Revenge For Disco\u2019 show at Studio 54- I was totally hooked! Not to mention, \u2018Bonded By
\nBlood\u2019 is one of my favorite thrash albums! I probably don\u2019t need to say it but me and the guys are pretty \u2018effin stoked to tour with Exodus and big thanks to them & Gary Holt for asking us out. It\u2019s
\ngoing to be a great thrashy end to summer 2010, we can\u2019t wait! Shred on!!\u201d

\nFormed a year ago, HOLY GRAlL 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 has already earned significant press accolades including a 2-page feature in hometown paper LA Weekly, a spot on Decibel\u2019s \u201c25 Most Anticipated Releases Of 2010\u2033 list and inclusion on Metal Hammer\u2019s \u201cGuide To The Best In The Upcoming New Wave Of Trad Metal\u201d. With monster vocals, not one, but two guitar virtuosos and a thundering rhythm section, Holy Grail\u2019s 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).
