Singer RONNY MUNROE Quits LILLIAN AXE

October 4, 2010

Former METAL CHURCH frontman Ronny Munroe has announced his departure from LILLIAN AXE — less than four months after he joined the Louisiana-based band.

"I'm sorry to announce that I have had to step down from my position as lead vocalist of LILLIAN AXE," Munroe writes in a statement. "My commitments to my other bands have made it impossible to give LILLIAN AXE the time and dedication that it truly deserves.

"I want to thank Steve Blaze [guitar] and the rest of the LILLIAN camp for the opportunity to front such a great band and I wish them all the best for the future."

LILLIAN AXE's tenth album, "Deep Red Shadows", was released on July 20 via Love & War Records. The CD, which featured Munroe's predecessor Derrick LeFevre on vocals, was recorded at Sound Landing Studios in Covington, Louisiana and was produced by guitarist Steve Blaze, mixed by Rob Hovey and mastered by Ty Tabor of KING'S X. The song "47 Ways To Die" was mixed by Sylvia Massy, who is best known for her work with TOOL, GREEN JELLY, POWERMAN 5000 and RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS. Tabor is the special guest on the song "The Quenching Of Human Life", adding an "amazing" guitar solo to the track.

Ash Sivils, who created the artwork for LILLIAN AXE's last CD, 2009's "Sad Day On Planet Earth", was responsible for designing the new album cover.
