History & Biography
Elegant Weapons, the side-project of guitarist Richie Faulkner (Judas Priest), Pantera bassist Rex Brown and singer-for-hire Ronnie Romero (Rainbow), recruited Dave Rimmer (Uriah Heep) on bass and Christopher Williams (Accept) on drums and played at Hellfest among other shows in 2023. Elegant Weapons' debut album, Horns For A Halo, was out through Nuclear Blast Records in the spring time frame. Scott Travis of Judas Priest had drummed as a guest.

The act played live in the summer of 2023, including opening for Pantera, as it began work on a second record. Faulkner was looking to create a permanent and post-Judas Priest entity. The band performed at Resurrection Fest in Spain to begin 2024. Elegant Weapons issued a second full-length album called Evolution through Exciter Records on 24.04.2026.
