RONNY MUNROE Announces Departure From PRESTO BALLET
January 12, 2012, 12 years ago
Former METAL CHURCH singer RONNY MUNROE has issued the following statement:
"I must regretfully announce my departure as lead vocalist of PRESTO BALLET. My continued involvement with the TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA has made it impossible to leave me with enough time to fully dedicate myself to such a great band as Presto Ballet.I'm wishing Kurdt Vanderhoof and the rest of the guys continued success, and I thank Kurdt for allowing me the chance to share in, and be a part of, his vision."
In the footage below, Munroe talks about his new album, Lords Of The Edge, offering a track-by-track via ArmyOfOneTV. The video can be seen below:
According to a press release, "the album is featuring the guitar mastery of Stu Marshall (EMPIRES OF EDEN), Chris Caffery (TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA, SAVATAGE), and Michael Wilton (QUEENSRŸCHE), Lords Of The Edge is a true metal offering that delivers an onslaught of fist-pumping, guitar-driven heavy metal. Lords Of The Edge gives us 12 new solid tracks of melodic metal that can only be described as one of those rare albums that captures the magic of the classic metal era."
“We wanted to create something that was totally new, but at the same time, true metal fans could hear everything that we were influenced by growing up in the classic metal era,” says Ronny on the recording of the new CD. “Lords Of The Edge sounds a little bit like what would happen if you put Metal Church's Light In The Dark CD into a blender with Queensrÿche's first EP and JUDAS PRIEST's Painkiller, then mixed it with some present day themes and a shot of pure adrenaline.”
