METAL CHURCH Singer Cancels Appearance At Mexico's MORTAL FEST

April 27, 2009

METAL CHURCH singer Ronny Munroe has been forced to cancel his appearance at the 11th edition of Mortal Fest 2009, set to take place May 3 in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Munroe said in a statement: "I regretfully have to cancel my trip to Guadalajara due to the swine flu that has been affecting Mexico. My apologies to the organizers of the event and to all the fans that have supported me and METAL CHURCH through the years. I wish all of you in Mexico a speedy recovery, and definitely when all this unfortunate situation is resolved, I will be there."

Each year the producers of Mortal Fest dedicate the event to an artist for his/her outstanding contribution to metal music through the years. This time Munroe, whose debut solo album has just been released, was supposed to be the recipient of this award.

With over 30 years of musical experience, Ronny has performed alongside countless international recording artists and has taken part in more than 3,000 shows. He is a dynamic performer with a very broad range and a unique vocal style that sets him apart from other singers. An innovative lyricist and songwriter, Ronny fuses melodic rock with hard-hitting metal in a way that will take your breath away.

Mortal Fest began in 1998 as an initiative to support and promote Mexico's metal scene. The first event surpassed the expectations of everybody and the following year the producers decided to expand the concept to an international event, combining metal music and art in one of the most important metal expos of Latin America.
