MUNROE'S THUNDER, fronted by the renowned power-metal vocalist, Ronny Munroe, have inked a worldwide deal with RFL Records & Entertainment and are thrilled to announce the new album The Black Watch, releasing on November 11th.
Ronny Munroe Comments:
"MUNROE'S THUNDER, The Black Watch, is loosely based on my family heritage, as some of my ancestors were actually in the black watch who guarded Mary, Queen Of Scots. Finding that out intrigued me enough to do a concept record about my family heritage.
After a very long wait, this record is finally finished and ready for you all to hear. I am very proud and elated by all the hard work that went into it, from the hours of research to the countless hours from DMP behind the board and all the remarkable talent that is on the album. Thank you so much to Jon and the team at RFL Records for having faith in our vision and for finally bringing MUNROE'S THUNDER to the masses."
Six years in the making and well worth the wait, the project known as MUNROE'S THUNDER, prepares to unleash The Black Watch. It's a journey where melodic power metal tells the tale of darkness, betrayal and bravery during the reign of one of history's most recognized Queens, Mary Queen Of Scots. Mary Queen of Scots, original name Mary Stuart or Mary Stewart, (born December 8, 1542, Linlithgow Palace, West Lothian, Scotland-died February 8, 1587, Fotheringhay Castle, Northamptonshire, England), queen of Scotland (1542'67) and queen consort of France (1559'60). Her unwise marital and political actions provoked rebellion among the Scottish nobles, forcing her to flee to England, where she was eventually beheaded as a Roman Catholic threat to the English throne. The story is one of history's most recognized tales and Munroe, coincidentally, has ties to the legendary history of the Queen.
