Richie Faulkner (Elegant Weapons / Judas Priest) – Evolution, New Music & “Bridges Burn”

Richie Faulkner—guitarist for Judas Priest and founder of Elegant Weapons—joins RadioBypass to talk about the band’s upcoming second album, Evolution, set for release on April 24. In this conversation, Richie dives into the creative direction behind the new record, the impact of the band’s current lineup, and how their chemistry has grown heading into album two. He also discusses working alongside producer Andy Sneap, the writing process behind several of the new songs, and a deeply personal track that reflects a pivotal moment in his life. We also explore the differences in his creative approach when writing and recording with Elegant Weapons, what songs he’s most excited to bring to the stage, and what he hopes fans take away from Evolution. And at the end of the interview, we turn it up with the first single from the album: “Bridges Burn.” This is RadioBypass—Rock and Roll that DESERVES to be heard.
