California’s classic metal group HOLY GRAIL, who recently announced a tour with Valient Thorr, have just confirmed a slew of new dates for the trek, which kicks off May 30. All shows that have been announced so far can be found below.

HOLY GRAIL are currently finishing up a nationwide tour with melodic metal act Dragonforce, as well as fellow Californian metallers Huntress – whose guitarist Blake Meahl is actually the brother of HOLY GRAIL drummer Tyler Meahl. Tyler commented on touring with his brother: “It’s like that time our family went on vacation to the Grand Canyon, but this time there’s less sex.” After the Dragonforce tour wraps up on May 11, the band will finish recording their sophomore album, due out this fall. Their debut release, 2010’s critically acclaimed “Crisis in Utopia,” was hailed by Revolver as “the catchiest album of pure heavy metal since Maiden, Priest and Dio ruled the early ‘80s.”
