Quote:
Legendary actor Christopher Lee, who has appeared in such cinematic milestones as "Lord Of The Rings", "Star Wars", "The Man With The Golden Gun" and "Dracula", will release his second heavy meetal album, "Charlemagne: The Omens Of Death", on May 27 on audio CD, a two-disc gatefold vinyl and MP3 downloads.

"Charlemagne: The Omens Of Death" signifies Christopher Lee's move into "full-on" heavy metal.

The music in "Charlemagne: The Omens of Death" was arranged by Richie Faulkner. He completed the work shortly before he was called to join JUDAS PRIEST as lead guitarist.

01. The Portent (4:29)
02. Charles The Great (6:23)
03. The Siege (7:09)
04. Massacre Of The Saxons (5:41)
05. Dawning Of A New Age (4:40)
06. Let Legend Mark Me As The King (5:45)
07. The Betrayal (5:02)
08. The Devil's Advocate (4:54)
09. The Ultimate Sacrifice (5:09)
10. Judgement Day (3:41)

I just heard the samples in the link and yeah, this one's definitely making it on. Lee's vocals are hit and miss to me. I mean he's a 90 year old guy so you tell me how well he's supposed to sing for his age. The music itself is really not that bad. Damn solid heavy metal if I've heard any.

That was pretty metal. The riffs were good, so this might be enjoyable.

His album arts are getting better. That one is almost not completely silly.

Isn't it just a still from a pose he struck in that music video from the previous album?

I'm not that into the music, though it isn't bad, but Christopher Lee is a certified badass and that footage of him hanging out with Tony Iommi is simply and utterly mindblowing!

Well, at least it actually sounds like metal this time. I may check this out if I could actually hear a few songs in their entirety.

Did you notice how the choruses of "Charles The Great", "Massacre Of The Saxons" and "Let Legend Mark Me As The King" were just copied from the debut? Makes me wonder if this is the exact same story as before, but this time with proper music to accompany it.
