The Los Angeles-based heavy metal outfit Holy Grail will mercilessly shred across the highways of North America this year as they serenade audiences new and old with material from their blazing new album Times Of Pride And Peril, scheduled for worldwide release via Prosthetic Records on February 12. The band – who in recent weeks gigged alongside the likes of King Diamond, Flotsam & Jetsam and Death Angel, in addition to touring with Night Demon – will begin their assault with a stretch of dates in early February alongside iconic guitarist Marty Friedman before joining Georgia heavy metal trio Black Tusk on a full North American jaunt that extends into April.

Times Of Pride And Peril is the follow-up to Holy Grail's 2013 effort Ride The Void. Recorded with Grammy Award-winning producer John Spiker (Tenacious D, Filter), the album encompasses the rise and fall of an empire, showcasing a history of triumphs and defeats through the group’s quintessential shreddery. The album will be available for pre-order on CD, LP and digital download at the Prosthetic webshop. A new song, "No More Heroes", is streaming below.
