Strong Melodic Metal

From the vocalist who has appeared in many top Metal acts like Metal Church and Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Ronny Munroe brings us a new project called Between Worlds on Frontiers Records. Munroe has brought Chris Caffery and John Lee Middleton of Savatage/TSO fame to play on the track “No Escape”, as well as Joel Hoekstra (Trans-Siberian Orchestra, ex-Night Ranger) to play solos on “Soul Chaser”.

Classic Metal

Between Worlds was formed when Ronny Munroe began a musical alliance with keyboardist Alessandro Del Vecchio back in 2019. The resulting album is a great showcase for Munroe’s versatile vocals, with melody being king on every track. Guitarists Pete Alpenborg and Jack Frost more than fit the bill, with excellent performances all around. With 12 tracks of tightly written songs, “Between Worlds” comes in at a nice 42 minutes of Classic Metal.

Final Notes

“Between Worlds” is a very strong effort from Ronny Munroe and friends, and a great sign of more excellent Metal to come. Fans of Crimson Glory, Metal Church, and Classic American Power Metal will revel in hearing Ronny deliver some of his best vocal performances to date. If you dig TSO and Ronny Munroe, then add this to your collection.
