Saruman makes a Metal Concept Album - Charlemagne
« on: January 06, 2010, 08:08:21 PM »
I SHIT YOU NOT.

It's going to be epic.

Christopher Lee — known for playing Saruman the White in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Count Dooku in Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith, and lots of crap Max Von Sydow turned down – has recorded a metal concept album about Charlemagne with Italian power-metal band “Rhapsody”.  Read that sentence as many times as you need to.  Yep.  That’s what that says.  Now you might be mentally-prepared to check out the widget below containing the music MetalSucks describes as “just ridiculous. [...] makes me wonder if this could truly be the same man who once so lit up in the screen in Police Academy: Mission to Moscow.”

Tread cautiously, MetalSucks.  He shed the blood of the Saxon men.  Also, he’s 87.  I’m pretty sure you get one free kill if you make it to 87.  That’s why I’m sleeping in a hyperbaric chamber so I can live to be 174, hop into a time machine (they’ll have them by then shut up), and take out both Seltzer and Friedberg before they can make any movies.

There's a player at the bottom, be sure to listen!

Honestly I can't wait to hear this. If it is at all influenced by Rhapsody than it will be epic. The cheesy factor does not bother me when listening to power metal. The samples sound cool and I am glad that Christopher Lee is making music that stays true to his taste.

I love this picture.

I'll probably listen to the album just to hear what it sounds like, but honestly I doubt I'll lay out actual cash for it.

New album from PRR in 2010?  Source?
Jamie Willcox and Chloe Alper are doing regular updates on Twitter. "I'm really excited about the year ahead of me. New album and touring are high on the agenda!!," etc. etc. They've been doing a fair bit of recording lately.

Seems to be ruining Jamie's sleep a bit, actually, so I imagine it's pretty damn intense in the world of PRR right now!

"I'm just listening to Track 1 from the new album...Its nearly finished! I cant wait till this records done so I can play it live! Exciting!"
"Another sleepless night with a 4-bar loop running around and AROUND my head!! Grrrrrr...."
"More and more vocal harmonies...you can never have too many....right?!?!?"
"I have a billion different vocal harmony ideas surging through my brain right now... Thus making sleep near on impossible...Grrrrr..."

Chloe's a lot more cynical, but there's a lot of cool noises being made about a new PRR if you keep an eye on 'em.

So, what's the scoop? Does Christopher Lee just have bad taste, or is he too old to know that they suck? (you know, one of those old people who think that once you package something into a contemporary medium like rap or metal, everybody will immediately like it)

He just loves power metal, it is as simple as that. He has done works with Manowar and Rhapsody so it's not like he is unfamiliarity with what he is making. I know it is hard to believe but there  are people who do like this kind of music.

Is it intentional that the sounds in those songs sound like from a $50 Casio keyboard?
