Holy Grail tours with Cauldron, with the former headlining all US dates and the latter closing on Canadian dates.

Our final Best of 2010 is from Brad Barratt, who lists six studio albums and one live release in this lineup of releases he reviewed.

The included list of bands are an alphabetical order by band name rather than order of appearance, either on the live show or on my list posted here on MindOverMetal.org… guess you’ll need to listen and/or read up to find out!

I thought continuing the top 13 was a good way to go, but for every album I thought of, a parallel arose. So the list turned out as it did (with top slots held by bands found on few metallic year-end lists). Plus more stuff came to mind in the process—perhaps categories will be in order next year.

3 INCHES OF BLOOD Announce Headlining Dates; Preparing for Tour with Eluveitie, Holy Grail and System Divide

Rating: 5/5

White Wizzard’s loss is Holy Grail’s gain and I honestly prefer the latter over the former when it comes to NWOBHM worship. This is the heaviest album I’ve heard all year long. It’s just that fucking good!

Look for Bonded By Blood on two separate tours with the likes of Exodus, Malevolent Creation, Holy Grail, Evile, Gama Bomb, Overkill, and Forbidden!

Barely a year off the ground, and they’ve got so many sweet gigs! Read on for more info on their upcoming tour with Amon Amarth, plus they have confirmed a slot at the 2010 Download Festival.

HOLY GRAIL confirmed for AMON AMARTH North American spring tour and major European metal festivals.
