Metal fans are finally getting to hear what the much-talked about new collaboration, Elegant Weapons, sounds like – with the arrival of their latest single, “Do or Die.” Comprised of Rainbow singer Ronnie Romero, Judas Priest guitarist Richie Faulkner, Uriah Heep bassist Dave Rimmer, and Accept drummer Christopher Williams, “Do or Die” is the second single/video (directed by Lief Thomason) off their forthcoming debut full-length, ‘Horns for a Halo,’ and can be accessed via these links:

“‘Do or Die’ is a rip roaring track about taking the opportunity and giving it your all,” explains Faulkner. “Take the shot, play the game and do it to the best of your ability. It’s the fastest track on the record and is a blast to play!”
The band’s first single/video, “Blind Leading the Blind,” can also be viewed and heard via these links:
