I'm sure most of you have heard by now, though some may not, that Christopher Lee (famous for playing old horror movies like Dracula and Frankenstein, and more recently in roles such at Count Dooku in Star Wars) passed away recently at the age of 93. What many don't know is that not only did he contribute to the acting world and other things, but he also contributed to the music world with (2?) symphonic metal albums. The first of which was Charlemagne By the Sword and the Cross.

Have a listen, and remember a man who was still acting at 90 years old, claims descent from ancient royalty, was rumored to be a spy during the war, and managed to live a full live of action, adventure, and... music. :shred:

They were talking about him on Triple J today (national radio station in Australia). Sounded like a badass. Way more stuff than I knew about the man. They played one his tracks too :)

I have a coworker who's really big into metal (I think I sent Ash a few recommendations from him). He's the one that told me about CL's metal albums. I was rather surprised. After he passed, some of the bios I saw of him expounded on his legacy, and he's done a LOOOOoooootttttt of stuff. 8)
