BRUTAL GODZ Begins Recording Debut Album

May 8, 2010

BRUTAL GODZ, the new Germany-based project featuring former/current members of BLIND GUARDIAN, RHAPSODY OF FIRE, REBELLION and METAL CHURCH, has entered guitarist Uwe Lulis' studio in Frankfurt, Germany to begin recording its debut album, "Echoes Of The Dead", for a fall release. According to the band, the entire tracking process should take about four months.

Due to the cancelation of overseas flights because of the effects of the recent volcano in Iceland, singer Ronny Munroe (ex-METAL CHURCH) had to reschedule his trip from Puerto Rico where he is currently living. Ronny will finally join his bandmates within a very short time. Meanwhile, Lulis, along with the Holzwarth brothers Alex (drums) and Oliver (bass),is continuing work on the CD.

Alex Holzwarth comments on the band's unusual recording philosophy: "The recording concept is simple: We plug our instruments in, get miked up, rehearse the songs and finally record all our music in a live situation to ensure that we catch the magic moment with each single note being played. This concept totally differs from the contemporary recording habits that do hardly catch the magic of music at all. In my opinion, it is all about the face-to-face or ear-to-ear situation of playing together in the same room at the same time. Like THE BEATLES did it and AC/DC still do it. The audio results we get are just amazing."

BRUTAL GODZ is:

Ronny Munroe (METAL CHURCH) - Vocals
Uwe Lulis (REBELLION) - Guitar
Alex Holzwarth (RHAPSODY OF FIRE) - Drums
Oliver Holzwarth (BLIND GUARDIAN) - Bass

Regarding Munroe's addition to BRUTAL GODZ, Lulis recently said. "Ronny impressed us with his voice and instantly made us feel like he is the perfect one. We sent him three songs to work on and even in the same night he responded. Within a short timeframe of several hours, Ronny had written lyrics, created and arranged all the vocal lines and then performed his work — something that [none] of us had never experienced before."

Added Munroe: "I am very excited and honored to be playing with such great musicians. The material is brutal and I'm looking forward to a crushing release."

Ronny Munroe sang on the last three METAL CHURCH albums and recently released his first solo record, "The Fire Within", on Rat Pak Records.
