Ronny Munroe - The Fire Within

So I was wondering if anyone picked up the new Ronny Munroe solo CD. For those who dont know who he is, he is the vocalist for Metal Church.

I picked it up and think it is very impressive except for a couple parts where he talks in one song and the one song his awful scream at the beginning. Otherwise I am very impressed.

I usually see Ronny Munroe, Blaze Bayley and Ripper Owens get beat up and bashed on posting boards, and all three have albums out (Rippers coming in May) with-in the last year and I think these guys are amazing. Not sure why they get riduculed so much.

It's a great album from a great guy. I meet him in person 3 weeks ago, had some drinks, he ever sang The Trooper as guest vocalist of my friend's band. He is one hell of a cool guy.

What is the style like. I'm guessing close to Metal Church.

They get beat up on because they all have followed some hallowed names in the metal world and will always struggle to come out of those shadows. And it may be a sacrilege but I like Rippers voice better then Halford and Jugulator is my third favorite Judas Priest album.

I would say it is a heavier and faster Metal Church in comparison. At least heavier and faster than the last 3 MC albums were with Ronny. Very goood to any fan of metal. I think it has a classic sound to it.

Hell if people are still willing to try stuff by Queensrych, then why not a solo album by a good singer, it sure to end up better than what Queensrych has done since Empire.

Good stuff, in my opinion.



Arttie

samples anywhere?

From what I have heard of his pre-MC band PALADIN, they were really cool too.

Man I would love to score some of his stuff pre MC. I enjoy MC a bucnh but dig Ronny's vocals.

I put this on the list to get. Right up my alley.

being on the shadows of metal church, this would be hard to give a try. I am listening some songs of myspace. So far this sound much better than A LIGHT IN THE DARK.

Haha, thanks for letting me know.

Nah seriously, if it's anything as cool as the Metal Church stuff with him, then I'd love to hear it. Even if it's not, if it's cool metal, I'll check it out.

Why would people bash on Munroe as the vocalist anyways? He's great AND he got a blessing from both Wayne AND Howe. And I've been listening to so much Metal Church with him as the vocalist lately, I've almost forgotten there were other guys since I hear him so much. Haha.

I want to get his album. I like him even more than Ripper Owens. He has more variety in his vocals...

Picked up this album in paris earlier this year. Great performance. I am impressed!
