HOLY GRAIL vocalist James Paul Luna called in to Montrea-based CHOM FM's program Metal File from the band's current co-headline tour with CAULDRON. Check out the interview here.
Luna recently spoke with Norway's Metal Express Radio.An excerpt from the interview is available below:
MER: Holy Grail is a young band so, can you give readers a brief story about how you started?
James: "We started in 2008 with three ex-WHITE WIZZARD members, including myself. We wanted to do something different from strictly IRON MAIDEN / JUDAS PRIEST stuff and add some thrash and speed metal elements to our music. Moreover, we wanted to throw some modern metal finishing touches on the sound ... and that’s how Holy Grail started."
MER: Do you feel a little bit awkward when someone in a live concert screams "White Wizzard"?
James: "You know, I really do not have a problem with it. It was a band that I have been in, so I am ok. It’s my past after all."
MER: But how do you feel when people are connecting Holy Grail and White Wizzard?
James: "I don’t think it is fair to connect those two bands. Ok, three members were in White Wizzard’s original line-up, but Holy Grail is kind of a natural progression. These bands are not the same."
