Yesterday, May 26th, the all-star metal collaboration ELEGANT WEAPONS dropped their debut album, Horns for a Halo – furthermore the fans can also view their latest music video, for the title track. Comprised of RAINBOW singer Ronnie Romero, JUDAS PRIEST guitarist Richie Faulkner, URIAH HEEP bassist Dave Rimmer, and ACCEPT drummer Christopher Williams, the title track from Horns for a Halo is the third single/video, and can be watched below.
“Unmistakably dark and brooding, light and dark, good and evil. A mid-paced blend of Birmingham and Seattle with a slice of thrash thrown in” explains Richie Faulkner. “The title track “Horns For A Halo” is like Tony Iommi crossed with Alice In Chains. It’s about the way we justify the bad things we do. When we turn up on Judgement Day, will the angels kind of confuse our horns for halos, if you know what I mean.“
The band’s earlier singles/videos, “Blind Leading the Blind” and “Do or Die” can also be viewed and heard via these links:
