 Hey, it's KK, the Metal Voice Man on the street. I'm in Old Saybrook, Connecticut tonight with Ronnie Morrow. And you're watching The Metal Voice. Oh, hey, it's KK, the Metal Voice Man on the street. And today I'm on the streets of Old Saybrook, Connecticut. I'm here with Ronnie Morrow, ex-singer from Metal Church, TSO, and various solo albums out. The first time I heard this man was I was working at 1675 Broadway Entertainment Weekly Security and the head of music direction, Tom St. Clair, came down and told me there was a new singer in Metal Church if I wanted the promo to check it out. I listened to it. I loved it. To this day, I love this guy's voice. Ronnie sang for Metal Church in what, 10 years, Ronnie? About 10, yeah. 10 years, he walked away for a solo career. He put out about four solo albums out, correct? Correct. He landed with a band called Peacemaker. Correct. OK, and he's got exciting news, but last year you joined One Machine, correct? That is correct, yes. And can you tell us a little about that? Well, One Machine is Steve Smythe on guitar. Steve was with Forbidden. I think he's actually doing another show with them here in the next month, I believe. Also, he was in Testament, Nevermore, great guitar player, good people, the rest of the guys are out of the UK. I joined up with him about a year and a half ago, right before COVID hit. So that's kind of been on hiatus and doing things of that nature. And then after that, or closely after that, is when Between Worlds came into the year. OK, then that's this year you joined Between Worlds, and that's after Frontier Records. Now, is that more or less a vehicle for you with the various musicians, or is it a full band? Well, it's a band as of right now. We don't have any dates booked. We will, but the actual release date is September 10th. I see Jack Frost is on the album. Yes, he is. Joe Holstra is on the second single Soul Chaser, which just came out last week. That's correct. And the first single came out in June, which is Between Worlds. And the album will be released September 10th on Frontier Records. Correct. And also, a couple more guests that I have on there was Chris Caffrey and Johnny Lee Middleton, both from Savatage and TSO, Friends of Mine. So I asked them if they'd be part of it, and they said, yeah. And they did, of course, a great job. You know, I'm in very good company with everybody on the record. You've worked with Chris before. I have. He played on My Lord's of the Edge record, and we toured together with TSO plus with Metal Church. I was going to say, TSO, how long did you toured TSO? I did two tours, 2011 and 2012. I think I met Joe on one of them. Yeah. And real quickly, back just on Between Worlds, I was approached by Alessandro Delvecchio, the master. This guy can sing his balls off keyboards, guitars, production, engineering, producing. He does everything, and he's really, really good. And I was honored when he reached out and asked me if I wanted to record some songs, some demos. I'm glad he did. He sent the frontiers. Yeah, so am I. And he's got a group of guys along with them that, like Michael Sanon, drums, Alex Jansen on bass, Pete Alpenborg on guitar. He's like a frontiers house band, kind of. Jack Frost. Yeah, they do a lot of the stuff for frontiers. But these guys did a great job. And Alessandro really delivered some really good tunes for me to write to. You did most of the writing, the lyrics? The lyrics, yes. The melodies and everything? Yeah. Yeah. They did all the writing for the music. I'm looking forward to singing that. I hope you get a tour out of that. And I hope it comes in states. I can see you're hitting Europe. I mean, you'd be big old, huge over there. Yeah, let's hope so. Now, you studied under a very good singer and vocal coach in Seattle, Washington area back in the day? Yeah, yeah. I think that was when it was at in the early 90s. Early 90s, right? Yeah, David Kyle, the maestro, David Kyle. And he's helped. He taught many people. Jeff Tate from Greensreich, Anna Nancy Wilson, Lane Staley from Allison Chains, of course. Terry Young from Rail, which is another great Seattle band that really never got their due. And a lot of people. So I went in and took some lessons from him to work on my breath control and whatnot. And so basically the rest is history. I've been chugging along. And I think he had something to do with Mike Howe, too, right? I believe so. Yeah, I believe he did. Now, you was kind of sandwiched in between Metal Church and Mike Howe. Mike Howe had left. The band had broken up. And then in 2004, you come along. Yeah. And sorry, this past week recently, we've lost Mike Howe. And my condolences to you and the Metal Church family. You're still part of that family. Well, you know, thank you. I appreciate that. What a tragedy. Quick story. I met Mike and hung out with him one time. Basically, I believe it was in 2006. He came out to Reno and we shared the stage and did date with poverty together. After the gig, we went out to a club and had some drinks and just sat and talked shop. And he was a sweetheart, you know? I've never heard anybody say anything bad about the guy. And what a tragic loss, you know? But you never know what's going on with April. And, you know, again, I feel really bad for leaving as a couple of sons and a wife. She's got a family and that's devastating. So I wish their family the best. And I send my condolences out to all Mike's family, friends and fans. Yes, the Metal Voice family does, too. We're all devastated. And it was great talking to you, Ronnie. Thank you for your time. I'm glad I finally met you. One machine coming out soon, September 10th, between worlds, definitely coming out. Yeah, pick it up. You can pre-order it now. Go to my Facebook, my Twitter, my Instagram. I'm all over the place. And just come and say hello. Check out the video and put a like and share it, if you would. Great saying. Thanks for your time, though. You got it, though.
