Elegant Weapons
Elegant Weapons is the second
Judas Priest
offshoot to appear in the 2020's, following
KK's Priest,
this one pairing current Priest guitarist
(and, ironically, K.K. Downing's ouster)
Richie Faulkner with current
Rainbow
frontman Ronnie Romero and (for awhile)
two other noted metal veterans in fellow Priest drummer
Scott Travis and
Pantera
bassist Rex Brown, which briefly put this band in the
supergroup category.
A debut album,
Horns For A Halo, was quickly released,
and there are plenty of late-Priest nods here, with
Romero (not a Halford clone) acquitting himself well here.
Predictably, there are few surprises here, it's played
relatively safe, but it's still a fine traditional metal
album.
