Ronny Munroe

RONNY MUNROE - THE FIRE WITHIN Ronny Munroe's "Fire Within" was created the way a true metal album should be?with nothing but spirit. Frustrated, unable to tour with Metal Church (on hiatus), and forced to relocate from L.A., Ronny found himself back in Seattle. What was originally supposed to be a 2009 festival-headlining tour with Metal Church turned out to be one man, forced to decide between joining society as a ?9-to-5'er" or creating a new vision. Ronny chose his path?with ?pen in hand? and an indomitable spirit, he sat in his small apartment and drew from "The Fire Within."
