Music Monday: Sir Christopher Lee is Charlemagne

By Widge - posted 01.11.10 @ 11:51 pm

So we've heard Sir Christopher Lee sing before. And it is...impressive. The fact that he's doing an entire "symphonic metal concept album." Which is...interesting. Because while this is symphonic, it doesn't strike me as...particularly metal. But I guess if anybody's going to get to play Charlemagne, then Lee is...because he claims to be a descendant. So...yeah. You go argue with him.

The album, Charlemagne: By the Sword and the Cross, doesn't appear to be available for pre-order just yet. It comes out March 15. I will keep you posted. In the meantime, you can snag Christopher Lee stuff here.
