Christopher Lee into symphonic metal!

[Ferry_vO]

At 87 years of age, actor Christopher Lee (Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and 260 more movies!) will release his first album this year, a symphonic metal project called 'Charlemagne, by the sword and the cross'.
Charlemagne, or Charles the Great, was king of the Franks from 768 until his death in 814 AD.

You got to admire the man, he sure has lots going on for a guy his age, more power to him! :ernae:

He has been for many years, he has quite a thing for Manowar and Rhapsody (now Rhapsody of Fire) if memory serves.

You call that symphonic metal?

No, the band does.

I know he has done a few spoken word things for Manowar, including introduction vids for concerts, but now he's actually singing on this album!
