METAL CHURCH vocalist Ronny Munroe's new solo track, "Far", is available for streaming in its entirety at this location. The song is the first single from the singer's solo debut, "The Fire Within", which is due this spring via Rat Pak Records.

Munroe previously stated about the upcoming CD, "'The Fire Within' will undoubtedly be my best work to date and I look forward to sharing it with you all."

Ronny Munroe's solo band includes METAL CHURCH guitarist Rick Van Zandt on guitar.

According to Tacoma Weekly, METAL CHURCH guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof had encouraged Munroe for some time to do a solo project. With METAL CHURCH's plans to tour in support of their new album on hold, this offered an opportunity for Munroe to do so.

Munroe had 15 original songs to choose from for the upcoming CD, which was co-produced by the singer and Vanderhoof. The album features a guest appearance on two tracks by QUEENSRŸCHE guitarist Michael Wilton.

Munroe said these songs show a wider vocal range, bigger choruses and different melodies compared to his work in METAL CHURCH.

He writes the lyrics and comes up with melody lines, while Van Zandt is writing some of the music.

Munroe's cover version of the RAINBOW classic "Man On A Silver Mountain" is available for streaming at this location.

Ronny Munroe was interviewed on March 25 on "The Big Rock Show". The chat is now available for streaming at this location.
