Ronnie Atkins found himself with the time and urgency to write a solo album: the time because of a pandemic, the urgency because of a stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis. A fixture of the European metal scene as the frontman for Pretty Maids for nearly four decades, Atkins is known for lending his voice to powerful rock songs and that's exactly what he does on this solo album, One Shot. A bittersweet album due to the circumstances around it being created, it is a testament to its creator.
