ELEGANT WEAPONS (Ronnie Romero) – Horns For A Halo (2023)
What do you get when pairing guitarist Richie Faulkner of Judas Priest, vocalist Ronnie Romero (Rainbow, Michael Schenker Group), Pantera’s bassist Rex Brown, and Faulkner’s fellow Judas Priest drummer Scott Travis. A super-group; ELEGANT WEAPONS. And just in case that isn’t enough, Faulkner called in his Priest co-guitarist Andy Sneap to deliver the production on their debut album “Horns For A Halo“.
A pandemic conception, Elegant Weapons was created by Faulkner recovered from an aortic aneurysm, that saw him in emergency surgery for 10-hours. After this near-death experience, Faulkner decided he had unfinished business, so grabbed the “bull by the horns”, formed Elegant Weapons and ‘Horns for a Halo’ becoming the result.
So, what does Elegant Weapons sound like? Well, they are a mix of the greats like Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Dio, and Rainbow. But, they also have a lot of melody – we wave here a killer melodic metal 10-tracker.
