ELEGANT WEAPONS (JUDAS PRIEST, PANTERA) Streams Debut Single "Blind Leading The Blind"

Very straightforward rock.

Elegant Weapons, the new band featuring Judas Priest guitarist Richie Faulkner and drummer Scott Travis, Pantera bassist Rex Brown, and Rainbow vocalist Ronnie Romero, will release their debut album Horns For A Halo on May 26. Elegant Weapons is now streaming their debut single "Blind Leading The Blind" alongside an animated video by Natalia Jonderko Śmiechowicz. Check it out above and pre-order Horns For A Halo here.

"We are very much looking forward to touring and our first tour dates are taking place in Europe starting in June 2023," said Faulkner. "Fans can expect heavy songs with catchy melodies, great vocals, and lots of riffs! We all live to play live, and can't wait to take the Elegant Weapons out onto the live stage."

"[Elegant Weapons is] a mix of Jimi Hendrix, Priest, Sabbath, solo Ozzy and Black Label Society, but with a lot of melody, sort of old school and modern at once if that makes any sense, and actually down-tuned a whole step. There are a lot of guitar solos and the songs are on the heavier side. And even though there's a lot of melody, it's still going to shake your bones."

Elegant Weapons has announced their first two shows ever. The shows will feature bassist Dave Rimmer (Uriah Heep) and drummer Christopher Williams (Accept) in place of Brown and Travis. As for the band's future, Faulkner said there will absolutely be more music and tours.

"As far as the future, we are all dedicated to giving this band the longest life we can. Live shows, tours and future albums. Growing with the fans along the way. The writing process for the second album is already underway and with live dates coming in thick and fast, we are looking forward to seeing how the future evolves for Elegant Weapons."

6/16 – Clisson, France @ Hellfest
7/2 – Bologna, Italy @ The Return Of The Gods
