Judging from its band members’ resumes, the newly-launched ELEGANT WEAPONS will rock ferociously – which includes singer Ronnie Romero (RAINBOW, MSG), guitarist Richie Faulkner (JUDAS PRIEST), bassist Rex Brown (PANTERA, DOWN), and drummer Scott Travis (JUDAS PRIEST). The band will be issuing their full-length debut, Horns for a Halo, in spring 2023, which was produced by Andy Sneap and issued via Nuclear Blast Records.

The over-arching mandate with ELEGANT WEAPONS is to perpetuate the rich legacy of the traditional proto-power metal invented by the heavy metal titans of the ‘70s and ‘80s, most pertinently Richie’s own band, JUDAS PRIEST. And in 2023, fans will finally get to hear what this promising new band sounds like – with the arrival of Horns for a Halo.
