NEW METAL SUPERGROUP, “ELEGANT WEAPONS,” FEATURES MEMBERS OF JUDAS PRIEST, RAINBOW, AND PANTERA Judging from its band members’ resumes, the newly-launched Elegant Weapons will rock ferociously – which includes singer Ronnie Romero Official Site (Rainbow, MSG), guitarist Richie Faulkner (Judas Priest), bassist Rex Brown (Pantera, Down), and drummer Scott Travis (Judas Priest). The band will be issuing their full-length debut, ‘Horns for a Halo,’ in spring 2023, which was produced by Andy Sneap and issued via Nuclear Blast Records. “It’s exciting to be part of a label like Nuclear Blast that has such a rich history and level of respect among fans and the music industry,” says Faulkner. “Monte Conner [Nuclear Blast VP A&R] knows Andy Sneap well, and Andy has always held Monte and label in very high regard. Monte has loved the record from the very early demo stages. It’s very valuable and important to me that the label I sign with understand and connect with the music. This record represents for me more of my DNA as a guitar player and a songwriter. Heavy, but moving slightly outside the realms of ‘heavy metal.’ Those roots are obvious, but I wanted to reach in a bit and see what else came out that wasn’t necessarily ‘expected’.” Says Monte Conner, “I am such a huge fan of all the players involved, especially Richie. As a diehard Priest fan, I have enjoyed watching help breathe new life into the band and add to their incredible story and legacy. What an amazing player he is. People always focus on leads, and of course Richie is a master in that department, but I can listen to him play rhythm guitar all day long! His rhythm playing is just so tasteful and magical. I can’t wait for fans to hear this album and discover how multi-faceted he is.” And according to the guitarist, Elegant Weapons features his “dream line-up.” “I’ve always wanted to make a record with Scott outside of Priest. Add to that Rex Brown’s unmistakable tone and attitude is something special. Having those guys as the rhythm section is a guitar players dream. The icing on the cake was Ronnie Romero. One of the new breed of instantly classic vocalists, Ronnie brought a character and a swagger to the songs that is instantly iconic, making these songs his own. As for the music, Richie describes it as “a mix of Jimi Hendrix, Priest, Sabbath, solo Ozzy and Black Label Society – heavy, catchy, and with melody. Sort of old school and modern at once if that makes any sense, and actually down-tuned a whole step. The Marshall Plexi basically does one thing, but you’ve got to crank it to 11 for it to have that distorted sound. It hasn’t got a lot of bells and whistles on it or different channels and effects. It basically does one thing and does it very well. But again down-tuning creates more of a modern sound, and by using the classic sound of the Marshall Plexi, you get that juxtaposition, that contrast. All told, there are a lot of guitar solos and the songs are on the heavier side. And even though there’s a lot of melody, it’s still going to shake your bones.” Specific to the songs, Richie explains that “Me and acoustic don’t really get along, so there’s only one mellow song on it, a sort of smoky, haunted, New Orleans kind of tune called ‘Ghost of You,’ with de-tuned 1920s piano on it. That one is about a memory, or ghost of a lost love. But that’s about as acoustic as it gets. I’m not really attracted to acoustic guitar in general. It’s mainly kind of heavy and full-on, really. There’s a song called ‘White Horse,’ plus ‘Horns for a Halo’, which is like Tony Iommi crossed with Alice in Chains. That’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.” But really, the over-arching mandate with Elegant Weapons is to perpetuate the rich legacy of the traditional proto-power metal invented by the heavy metal titans of the ‘70s and ‘80s, most pertinently Richie’s own band, Judas Priest. And in 2023, fans will finally get to hear what this promising new band sounds like – with the arrival of ‘Horns for a Halo.’ Band art by The Art of Claudio Bergamin. https://www.facebook.com/elegantweaponsband

It’s all just opinion; I think the Def Lep is pretty damn good myself… for you it was just ok, and that’s cool. Different strokes for different folks and all that… With that being said, he has actually dissed a few things here recently; he openly said that he doesn’t care for most of Jeff Scott Soto’s output when he was reviewing Ellefson-Soto, and he also spoke of how he doesn’t care for the Bangalore Choir efforts post “On Target”. He doesn’t have a lot of negative comments usually, and I’d say that’s probably more common with someone who has a WIIIIDEEE range of tastes the way he does. Anyway, I watch probably about 50% of the vids he posts, cuz he will occasionally find something that interests me. 🤷‍♂️

Nah… 😜

(2) EverLevel Band | Facebook After the obligatory pandemic lockdown, AOR / Melodic Rock act EVERLEVEL is back with their new album titled “Future“. While it wasn’t possible to play shows, EverLevel has been busy composing and recording their new material and are delivering here no less than 16 songs. The original working title for the new album was ‘AorWork’, and this give you an idea of the music packed on this record alone. This is a mix of ’80s inspired melodic hard rock tunes with strong AOR melodies all over served with detailed arrangements and polished production. EverLevel is a bunch of experienced musicians that have been working together since the mid-Eighties and under different names, however always with passion for classy, timeless AOR. EverLevel put out an indie album in the early Nineties, then they changed the name to La Fase releasing a self-titled CD which gained a solid reputation and reviews back in the day. After that they continued playing and recording under the name Arka (one album), and then EverLevel again. “Future” is plenty of energetic songs full of melody akin the classic era for the genre, updated to current times. The album’s new title refers to hope of better things to come after Covid-19, but judging the material on offer the original ‘AorWork’ would have perfectly fit the enjoyable music on it. 01 – Luvless Angels 02 – In Our Hearts 03 – Life Aint Easy 04 – Caution Caution 05 – Waiting 4 Love 06 – Dangerous 07 – Feelings = Magic 08 – Must Be a Sign 09 – LovinGame 10 – Always Running 11 – So I Can’t Go On 12 – Crystal World 13 – Bleeding 14 – Underground 15 – Spirit Dancer 16 – Forever Ones Lead vocals and guitars – Javier Garcia Uriarte Keyboards and backing vocals – Jesus Herrera Vera Bass and backing vocals – Gonzalo Sanchez Machado Drums and backing vocals – Alberto Rodriguez Future by EverLevel on Amazon Music Unlimited

Possibly… here’s another good one

Well, what a co-inky-dink… Great White continue their carousel of singers, and two former vocalists put out a collaboration 😜

One of my favorite releases of the year; will it be top 5? Not sure, but it’s definitely a contender. 👍 Here’s Mr Snyder’s take:

Crazy Days

Ozzy has a falling out with his demon 😂

Received Friday and have listened to nothing else since. This one is good…. really good!

Pieced together a timeline for anyone reading this regarding Great White and their various singers ... August 2010 Jack Russell has emergency surgery for a perforated bowel. Jani Lane (RIP) and Paul Shortino fill in for him on various dates so that GW won't have to cancel their tour. Terry Ilous eventually takes over singing duties later in the year, becoming Jack's official "fill in" sometime in 2011 August 2011 Jack Russell states to media outlets that he is working hard to get back to Great White December 2011 Ilous has worked out well with the band, and they have decided to make him the permanent vocalist. Jack Russell prepares to launch his own version of the group which eventually becomes known as Jack Russell's Great White May 2012 Great White release "Elation" featuring Terry Ilous on vocals February 2013 Great White release 30 Years: Live From the Sunset Strip with Terry Ilous performing past hits January 2017 Jack Russell's Great White release "He Saw It Comin'" June 2017 Great White release "Full Circle", which turns out to be the last album to feature Ilous July 2018 Great White announce that Mitch Malloy is their new lead singer replacing Ilous who found out he'd been replaced when he read it online April 2020 Jack Russell's Great White release "Once Bitten Acoustic Bytes" December 2020 Great White release "Live" featuring Mitch Malloy on vocals August 2021 Jack Russell's Great White release "Great Zeppelin II: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin" May 2022 Great White announce Andrew Freeman as their new vocalist September 2022 Great White quietly replace Freeman (Thanks Cap!) with Brett Carlisle. As of this post (10-16-22) , no official announcement on their website or FB page. Great White with Carlisle on vox: Reading comments on some of the YT vids, it seems Brett was originally announced as a "fill in" for Andrew Freeman due to Andrew having some gigs with Last in Line. Maybe when everyone hears Brett they'll make him permanent?

From Mitch Lafon’s FB page: Great White have parted ways with singer Andrew Freeman. Currently singing with the band is Brett Carlisle. No word on his “official” status with the band or whether they are looking for a another full-time replacement.

I finally decided to pick this one up, and actually find myself enjoying the majority of the songs. The main thing I find myself thinking though, is how is it they picked the worst damn song of the bunch to not only name the album after, but to also release as the first single/video?
