ELEGANT WEAPONS led by Judas Priest guitarist Richie Faulkner have released their new single, "Bridges Burn," the first track from the band's forthcoming sophomore album Evolution due April 24 via Exciter Records. Elegant Weapons features a formidable lineup: Richie Faulkner (Judas Priest), vocalist and HardRadio friend Ronnie Romero (Rainbow, MSG), bassist Dave Rimmer (Uriah Heep), and drummer Christopher Williams (Accept). "This record represents growth in every sense," said Richie Faulkner. "When the four of us come together, we sound like Elegant Weapons. We've spent time on the road, we've developed a chemistry, and you can hear that evolution in the performances. I'm proud of what we've built, and I'm excited to begin this next chapter with Exciter Records." Watch a lyric video for the track below:
