HOLY GRAIL Frontman Interviewed On 'Maximum Threshold'

April 20, 2010

Vocalist James Paul Luna of the Los Angeles-based quintet HOLY GRAIL was interviewed on the April 10 edition of the "Maximum Threshold" show. The program is now available for streaming using the audio player below.

HOLY GRAIL has been hand-picked to open for classic metal icons ARMORED SAINT at their only show this year — Friday, May 28 at the House Of Blues in West Hollywood, California. ARMORED SAINT's Joey Vera commented, "When I heard HOLY GRAIL, it reminded me of 1982 all over again, which was a great time for the beginning of heavy metal in the U.S. The band's riffs are both timeless in their familiarity, and a breath of fresh air." HOLY GRAIL frontman James Paul Luna added, "Opening for ARMORED SAINT is such an honor, it's like living the dream. I can't believe they actually know who we are! I'm truly psyched for this one — it's a great match-up. I just hope I get to meet the band!"

HOLY GRAIL is currently on the road in support of AMON AMARTH. The band will play several of the world's largest metal festivals this summer in Europe, with a slot on the Wacken Open Air festival in Germany. In addition, they have just been confirmed for the U.K.'s Download festival in June.

In other HOLY GRAIL news, the band has received a nod for "Best New Band" for the 2010 Metal Hammer Golden God Awards. The winners of each category will be determined by public voting online and will be announced live at the eighth annual event.

HOLY GRAIL is putting the finishing touches on its debut full-length album, "Crisis In Utopia", for a summer release on Prosthetic Records.
