MELIAH RAGE Guitarist Contributes Material To METAL CHURCH Singer's Solo Album

March 25, 2009

MELIAH RAGE founding member Anthony Nichols has composed the music for three tracks on the upcoming solo record from METAL CHURCH frontman Ronny Munroe.

Nichols and Munroe developed a relationship when their two bands toured together in 2007. "After the '07 tour, I asked Ronny to make a guest appearance on the next MELIAH RAGE record," explained Nichols. "We flew him out last year and he sang on the song 'Last Rites', which will be on MELIAH RAGE's upcoming record, 'Masquerade' (due out later this spring). That experience turned out to be highly positive, and led Munroe to ask me about contributing some music for his solo project."

Munroe selected three of Nichols' compositions, which have been titled "Across The Sea Of Souls", "Deafening Hypocrisy" and "What You Call Hell, I Call Home". "I have always liked Tony's writing, since the early days and after touring with MELIAH and becoming good friends, so I decided to ask him if he wanted to write a couple tracks for me," Munroe explained. "Tony delivered as usual! Thanks, Big T."

Nichols added, "It's always inspirational to have another artist invite you to participate in any project — I think the first two METAL CHURCH records are all-time metal classics, so when asked to write some music for Ronny's solo project, I was quite honored!"

Ronny Munroe's solo record, titled "The Fire Within", will be released this spring on Rat Pack Records. It is being co-produced by METAL CHURCH guitar legend Kurdt Vanderhoof and Ronny Munroe.
