Grailknights form alliance with Perception and announce new single

Citizens of Grailham City, listen up! Three years after rescuing the world with “Muscle Bound For Glory,” GRAILKNIGHTS have returned with a new battle plan. In PERCEPTION, the strong new family accomplice of Reigning Phoenix Music, the superheroic troops have even found a new partner joining the mission to put their arch enemy Dr. Skull to flight once again. Their common weapon of choice? A brand new opus, which shall liberate the world of all evil later this year, full of audacious metal tunes in order to re-call their most loyal Battlechoir to action.

The GRAILKNIGHTS state: 

“Swollen with pride and full of zest for heroic action we can proclaim: The Grail has shown us a new way to our perfect partner. We open another chapter of our journey with PERCEPTION. Side by side the battle for the Grail will reach unknown heights. It’s gonna be harder, more epic & even more powerful! We’re more than ready for each and every challenge, and we’re looking forward to taking you on this epic adventure!”

PERCEPTION managing director Jochen Richert warns:

“We’re that proud to unveil this close union with GRAILKNIGHTS, that we’ve started boosting our pressing plant right away to be done before their earthshaking new album hits the stores. Can you imagine anything more spectacular than cape-wearers carried by a snake and a phoenix? No, exactly, and Dr. Skull should prepare for the worst as GRAILKNIGHTS’ new hymns will defeat him with ease. Battlechoir, be prepared!”

GRAILKNIGHTS’ first 2025 live gatherings will take place in Hanover, Germany – their hometown area – where both band and Battlechoir will re-unite on May 2 and 3 under the group’s very own “GRAILFEST” banner. Two additional brave collectives will back the muscle flexing five-piece on each night (May 2: DAMNATION DEFACED and RIGORIOUS; May 3: TALES OF RATATÖSK and BLACK BASEMENT).

After bracing themselves next month, the battle-tested outfit will join forces with the not minorly brave warriors in ALL FOR METAL. Together they’ll arouse the “Battle Of Metal” across Europe in autumn with the aim to win additional (wo)man power for their consistently growing armies. Calling all metalheads of Central Europe to the stages, GRAILKNIGHTS and ALL FOR METAL have just expanded the amount of cities to conquer: two more German stops as well as side quests leading their way to France and Belgium have been added to the journey’s routing today. Also soon announced will be special guests joining this highly effective union. The current “Battle Of Metal” schedule and ticket info can be found below; the final dates will be added on Monday, April 21!

The quintet adds: 

“GRAILKNIGHTS on tour with ALL FOR METAL! Capes, biceps and double bass drumming – that’s all it needs for this run to become epic! Join us in the “Battle Of Metal,” let’s conquer Europe’s stages all together. Are you ready for another trial of strength with stinky Dr. Skull? We’re preparing something really unique that will make the Grail itself tremble, and we’re ready to present you this new chapter of our everlasting battle for the Holy Grail!”

So have GRAILKNIGHTS promised too much? – “No Sire!”

GRAILKNIGHTS live:

If it’s on their 2004 debut album “Across The Galaxy,” its follow-ups “Return To Castle Grailskull” and “Alliance” or their tales of the past 15 years (“Calling The Choir,” “Knightfall” & “Muscle Bound For Glory”), GRAILKNIGHTS’ goal has remained the same – the Holy Grail must be returned to Grailham City! Their mission also led their flight path to stages around the globe, which they boldly dominated as headlining act and shared with acts such as SABATON, FEUERSCHWANZ, BROTHERS OF METAL and TWILIGHT FORCE among others, always supported by their brave fan base aka the Battle Choir.

During the years, some of these equally brave musicians have also lent their additional vocal support to the Hanover, Germany based squad: Tracks like ‘Turbo Boost [feat. FEUERSCHWANZ]’ but especially ‘Pumping Iron Power,’ which was graced by SABATON’s Joakim Brodén, crafted additional intergalactic bondings between the band and metalheads worldwide, and saw GRAILKNIGHTS’ success numbers go through the roof with ‘Pumping Iron Power’ heading for 15 million Spotify streams only.

Highly experienced in both studio and live battles, the superheroic metal group have faced and overcome several evil powers over time, and now they are set to oppose Dr. Skull in full length once again with their 7th adventure, followed by yet another journey across Europe. Joining forces with label family members ALL FOR METAL in autumn 2025, the “Battle Of Metal” can actually only end in another victory against all evil.
