Christopher Lee - New Video Online, Second Album On The Way

Iconic actor Christopher Lee has recently announced that at the age of 90, he will release his second metal album, The Omens Of Death, under the Charlemagne moniker he used two years ago for his first metal album, Charlemagne: By The Sword And The Cross. To celebrate that, he has released a new video for the song "The Bloody Verdict Of Verden", taken from his debut album released in 2010, available for viewing below.

The music from the second album will be arranged by Judas Priest guitarist Richie Faulkner. You can listen to a sample from the new single "Let Legend Mark Me As The King", as a teaser for the new album, by heading to this location.

Christopher Lee has also done narration for Rhapsody Of Fire and Manowar in the past.

Lonniehaskel Posts: 91	Permalink 11.06.2012 - 13:28 Lonniehaskel Posts: 91 This is the single most overwhelmingly cheesy thing in this history of history. But it's Christopher Lee. Ninety years of being the goddamn man. All Hail Saruman, Dracula, and apparently the slayer of the Saxon men. Loading...

Scuzzy McDouche Posts: 67	Permalink 11.06.2012 - 18:48 Scuzzy McDouche Posts: 67 Richie Faulkner is K.K. Downing's replacement in Judas Priest. Ugh, I never thought I would type the words "K.K. Downing's Replacement". Anyway this is cheesy beyond belief. Much respect to Christopher Lee, but I am not going to say this is epic just because it is him, because, well...it's not, lol. This was indeed painful to watch. Loading...

Yeah, agree with the other dude... this was hilarious. At 90 I would also like to do stupid shit like that for the giggles. Also, the song gets like... 1000x better if you hear "I spill the bloody of the SEXY MEN!".

I love Christopher Lee, and he is a legend, but even that fact couldn't save that terrible album. Here's hoping that "The Omens Of Death" will be a bit better! Loading...
