Other than White Wizzard the mighty LA scene has had very little participation in the true metal resurgence. Sweden and Canada have both been selfish in that regard. Now we have an LA representative in youngsters Holy Grail. The band releases a rookie EP called "Improper Burial". This is a great traditional offering with fantastic chops and solos. The vocals are at throwback to the early days of Agent Steel and Bloodlust. Unfortunately only two originals here but the covers of "Fast As A Shark" and "Exciter" are nothing to complain about. Look for a promising full length this year! For fans of Cauldron and White Wizzard!
