Electric Wake: Anthem of a Generation Living in an Angry World

 

Album Review: Electric Wake – New Album by Ronny Munroe

Album Review by Joseph Timmons: Xombiewoof Magazine

The name Ronny Munroe is not new to the Metal Music world, as front man for the infamous foundation group Metal Church, his skill and abilities are legendary. Recently, Metal Church released “Generation Nothing” with Ronny at the head of the Juggernaut; once again, his voice brought new life into the music world, which in my opinion has been awash in mediocrity and lack of vision.

Now, Ronny has come forth from the studio and has given to us his latest Solo Album Electric Wake, which is as far from a eulogy in verse as it could be. Electric Wake is raw power in lyric and verse, musically striking and has given a new standard to reach for many would be thrashers.

11 tracks of pure energy, dark visions and harmonic greatness, Electric Wake floods your ears with the talents and collaborations of guitar legend George Lynch, guitarist Dave Rude of Tesla, the metal worlds femme fatal Pamela Moore (Queensrÿche’s "Sister Mary"), Paul Kleff (ex Firewolfe), David Donigian, Sean Baker and Tony Rossi, making this an album of epic proportions. Ronny Munroe's Electric Wake delivers as promised.

Ronny Munroe's Electric Wake is offered as his best work to date, I would say this is more of a tempting taste, a sinister sample of what is to come! Produced by Bruce Bouillet and mixed by Jon Wyman, Electric Wake is the 4th solo album by Ronny Munroe, capturing all the magic of the classic metal genre as well as setting new marks, which others will try to copy, but will never duplicate.

 

Ronny Munroe–United

In a statement, Ronny has said "I wanted to create something that was totally new, but at the same time allow all my influences to shine through". Ronny further elaborated "I put two years into the writing process of this album, but when it came time to start recording, I threw everything out the window and just went with my gut and it worked out better than I could have imagined".

Ronny Munroe's Electric Wake is not only a soon to be keystone in any Metal Collection, but it is further proof that Rat Pak Records, which seemingly came from the shadows as a small independent label is actually the new vanguard of original and innovative Metal, with artists like Beasto Blanco, George Lynch, Lynch Mob, KXM, T&N, Pamela Moore, Jeff Labar and Many others, making their catalog of albums some of the most sought after and ingenious collaborations of artists that made the Metal World what it is today. If you want to hear what Rat Pak has to offer, simply visit their Soundcloud and hear for yourself what the future of Metal holds.

 

Listen to Ronny Munroe give tribute to Ronnie James Dio with his rendition of “Man on the Silver Mountain“ from his prior hit album "The Fire Within"

Freak Show Baby - Live Fast Die Loud, Hell Yeah! - Beasto Blanco is on the loose!

 

CD Review: Beasto Blanco – Live Fast Die Loud

Available on Rat Pak Records – Beasto Blanco

Reviewed by Joseph Timmons: Xombiewoof Magazine

Take DNA from Alice Cooper, Motörhead, Danzig, Rob Zombie, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Powerman 5000 and the “Motor City Madman” Ted Nugent; combine in a vat and add pure undiluted carnal urge, and you have Beasto Blanco!

Beasto Blanco sets the tone of the album Live Fast Die Loud with an homage to Ted Nugent with their cover, the image of the classic “windmill” guitar stance in motion, and like the cover, the album is alive with the forward thrust of hard rockin’ fury.

Beasto Blanco was formed in 2012 by Vocalist Chuck Garric and Guitarist Chris Latham. They have created a group that allows them indulge their influences and imagery of their collective musical background and immortalize it in the studio and live on stage. Chuck Garric, from the mountains of Lake Tahoe, California and Chris Latham from Anchorage, Alaska, moved to Los Angeles California with a destiny to be respected and envied in the LA Hard Rock Scene.

Chuck Garric has spent a majority of his career touring and recording with some of the biggest acts in the business, most recently an ongoing position as the bass player with Alice Cooper. Chris Latham has spent the last few years as the lead guitar player and song writer for Paper Back Hero.

Beasto Blanco is Chuck Garric on Vocals, Guitar, Bass and Chris Latham on Lead Guitar and Back Ground Vocals. These two larger than life fiends of the scene are supported by the talents of Calico Cooper, Glen Sobel, Jonathan Mover and Tiffany Lowe. If this was not enough, add in the genius of producer Tommy Henriksen to bring this Metal Beast to life.  

The line “Billion Dollar, Ultra Bright Crystal Scars!” just gives me shivers and makes me want to eat Raw Meat, That’s Damn Tasty Lyrics!

Songs on this album that I feel are destined for immortality, “Live Fast Die Loud”, an anthem of a generation obsessed with fast hard living and an insatiable need for pleasure. ”Breakdown” is a search for the indefinable, the unreachable the ultimate, In “Viva Las Vegas Nights”, well what happens in Vegas never stays put. “Motorqueen”, the kind of girl you bring home to meet your momma, if you want your momma to drop on the spot and “Freak”- Be Real or Be Gone! Finally, “No More Man”, a friend in need is a fiend indeed!

You have to check out the song “Viva Las Vegas Nights” On Soundcloud and pre-order the album Live Fast Die Loud by Beasto Blanco from Rat Pak Records, your ears and your need for speed will thank you!

CD Review: Metal Church - Generation Nothing

Available on Rat Pak Records – Metal Church

Metal Church is back, and stronger than ever!

Metal Church have prepared a new bone crushing, brain smashing and mind splitting onslaught of sound that will make you a believer!

Since their inception, Metal Church has been, and continues to be a force in Metal to be respected, with pure talent and hard driving vocals; they have recorded albums that are original in construct and unique among their peers. Now Generation Nothing, their latest release, joins the arsenal of albums that are a tribute to their creator.

Founding band members of the West Coast Metal scene of the 80's, Metal Church quickly rose to the top of the Metal ranks and signed on to a major label.

Throughout the years, and with lineup changes, each incarnation was memorable for the unique talents each member had to offer, but their present elite arrangement of Kurdt Vanderhoof, Ronny Munroe, Rick Van Zandt, Jeff Plate and Steve Unger have that sound that metal church was always remembered and is still loved for – DRIVING, THRASHING METAL, but moreover, a more refined sound that is hypnotic. I have always been a big Metal Church Fan, but getting a chance to review Generation Nothing is an honor, and an album long overdue!

 

Metal Church on Rat Pak Records

To say that Metal Church is one of the best of American Heavy Metal is an understatement, they are among Metal’s “Founding Fathers” in Metal and have not dulled with age, in fact they have excelled in their skills, the musical composition is sublime and the Vocals on Generation Nothing are hard, edgy, driven and rich in lyrical context. From the first track “Bulletproof” to “Dead City”, songs with a vocals that defy you to turn your ears away, “Scream” with its drum heavy rhythm, on to the final track “The Media Horse” and it’s perfectly timed attack on the senses, and every track in between, the whole album is masterful. But not to be ignored, the title track, “Generation Nothing”, words cannot do justice, you just have to hear it for yourself.

Rat Pak Records has put this album of Metal Mastery and Mayhem before you; it would be a sin not to attend to the altar of the Metal Church, May the Dark Lords of Rock have Mercy upon you soul!
