The article The Lord of the Sings: Sir Christopher Lee, 91, to release heavy metal album written by Daisy Wyatt was published in The Independent on May 24, 2013. It reports at length that the famous actor,Christopher Lee, who played the wizard Saruman in the Lord of the Rings, is making first venture into heavy metal and releases his first album.
Speaking of the actor's biography it's interesting to point out that he has starred in the Lord of the Rings, Hobbit and Star Wars franchises and played Dracula, Frankenstein's monster and the evil wizard Saruman. But Sir Christopher Lee is only now fully exploring his dark side, when releases his first heavy metal album next week.
The author says that the man has already released previous album Charlemagne: By the Sword and the Cross featured symphonic metal music, but this is his first album to exclusively feature heavy metal. The record, which features track names such as “Massacre of the Saxons”, “The Devil’s Advocate” and “The Ultimate Sacrifice”, is likely to appeal to fans of Sir Lee’s fantasy films. Lee appears on the cover brandishing a sword and surrounded by fire. The album was arranged by Richie Faulkner, the lead guitarist for heavy metal band Judas Priest.
It's an open secret that Sir Lee said he had played quite a few parts in his career which have appeared in heavy metal songs, such as “Wicker Man” by Iron Maiden and “The Man with the Golden Gun” by Alice Cooper.
The article draws a conclusion that Sir Lee joins a number of high profile actors, such as Hugh Laurie and Steve Martin, who have released albums alongside their TV and film work. Artists including Zooey Deschanel, Jennifer Lopez and Will Smith have established careers as both actors and musicians, though they are yet to release any heavy metal…yet.
As for me, sometimes I like listening to heavy metal songs, and the movies The Lord of the Rings are my favourite ones, and when I read this article for the first time I wanted to listen to some songs of Sir Christopher Lee's album.
