HOLY GRAIL Premiere New Video

Leave a reply

 

Having just completed touring with the Anthrax-headlined Metal Alliance Tour, Los Angeles heavy metal quintet HOLY GRAIL are excited to premiere their second-ever music video. Directed by Will Knapp, Ride The Void – the title track from their critically acclaimed sophomore release — can be seen below or on YouTube.

Described as “the second coming of Judas Priest” by the Washington Times, HOLY GRAIL spent much of 2012 recording Ride The Void - which cracked the Top 10 of the Billboard Heatseekers chart upon its release earlier this year – with producer Matt Hyde (Slayer, Children of Bodom).

“You’d have to go back 20 years to find a metal record that achieves this level of instant infectiousness.” Decibel

The album is currently available on iTunes and Amazon MP3, as well as on CD or LP via RideTheVoid.com.

HOLY GRAIL are currently touring their way west with Exodus. The band will also play a show at the Viper Room in Los Angeles — their first hometown headlining performance since the release of Ride The Void – on May 15. Additional tour dates will be announced soon.
HOLY GRAIL live:
4/25 Ashwaubenon, WI – Green Bay Distillery *
4/26 Fargo, ND – House of Rock *
4/27 Billings, MT – The Railyard *
5/15 Los Angeles, CA – The Viper Room
* with Exodus

Leave a reply

What’s possibly the most emotional and one of the best written compositions in KONGH’s discography, can now be downloaded for free from Soundcloud. The 4th and final song from the Sludge/Doom Swedes Sole Creation album, poetically entitled Skymning, featuring a great clean vocal line by David Johansson, can be downloaded (or streamed) now (click image above).

Quoted as “taxing, dangerous and by all means exciting” by The Metal Observer as well as “a chest-puffing good time” by Decibel Magazine, Sole Creation by KONGH is available now on Agonia Records.

The album consists of 4 new tracks and 45 minutes of music, with a guest appearance of John Doe from Craft. It was recorded at Teknikkompaniet (Vetlanda, Sweden) by Peter Lundin; mixed and mastered by Magnus Lindberg of Cult Of Luna fame.

Sole Creation is available now on CD and vinyl via Agonia Records Webshop.

VERA CRUZ Stream Album

Leave a reply

Season of Mist, French independent label for Metal and Rock

French hardcore outfit VERA CRUZ are streaming SKINANDTEETHANDNAILS in it’s entirety here.

The band‘s Season of Mist debut, featuring eleven tracks of pulse pounding, relentless hardcore and metal will be out in North America on January 22.

VERA CRUZ embraces the fine art of serious ass kicking with their debut album SKINANDTEETHANDNAILS. Balancing melodic hardcore with rock influences, VERA CRUZ display astonishing mastery for such a young band. The album captures the explosive energy that the band unleashes during their live shows.

On the album, the band states:

“There’s an overall theme about this album and the way it has been thought and composed. There’s a sort of Holy Grail we always try to reach in every song but like the latter, whatever is Holy doesn’t lie in front of your eyes for everyone to see, but is rather a kind of quest to find it. We would like people to be able to find what they’ve been seeking with our music. It’s for everyone to decipher it and find what’s under the surface.”

SKINANDTEETHANDNAILS will be available on CD-Digipak and digitally.
