Nashville, Tennessee Oct 29, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Iron Gate Records and melodic power metal band Livesay are proud to announce a monumental addition to the band’s lineup: legendary vocalist Ronny Munroe will be joining as the new lead singer.
With a career spanning multiple decades and a vocal presence that has defined some of metal’s most iconic acts, Munroe brings a commanding voice and world-class experience to Livesay at a critical time in the band’s evolution. Best known for his work as the frontman of Metal Church, Munroe’s powerful range and dynamic performances have also fueled projects like Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Presto Ballet, Lillian Axe, and Vicious Rumors.
"This is a pivotal moment for Livesay," says guitarist and founder Gregg Livesay. "Ronny’s voice and legacy speak for themselves. He’s a force, a professional, and a perfect match for the future of this band. We are beyond excited for what’s to come.”
Munroe first gained global recognition during his tenure with Metal Church (2003–2009, 2012–2014), helping to redefine the band's modern sound while remaining faithful to its thrash and power metal roots. His time with Trans-Siberian Orchestra further showcased his versatility, contributing to their theatrical rock-opera productions seen by millions. In recent years, he’s led Munroe’s Thunder and joined Vicious Rumors, continuing to tour and record at the highest level.
Now, with a new chapter ahead, Munroe joins Livesay to usher in a bold new era. The band is currently working on new material set for release in 2026, with a tour announcement expected soon.
“Livesay has the sound, the chops, and the fire,” says Munroe. “It feels like the right time and the right fit. I’m thrilled to be on board and can’t wait to hit the stage and studio with these guys.”
