Six years in the making and well worth the wait, the project known as Munroe's Thunder, prepares to unleash "The Black Watch." An 11 Track Concept Album and 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 as his ancestors guarded the legendary Queen. It's an album that delivers from start to finishand best described as Iron Maiden Meets Vicious Rumors Meets Metal Church. This is Ronny Munroe at his pinnacle backed by an incredible cast of musicians and an overall masterful production.
