Most likely. I think Rhapsody should have had ample experience with keyboard voices by now.

What does rhapsody have to do with this?

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”.

Probably that bit.

Also, I think it's worth mentioning that Saruman would be an awesome name for a power metal band.

Well, it's obviously going to suck, but good on the old guy. Seems like one of those awesome things he'd love to do is finally getting taken off the bucket list.

Wow, I heard Rhapsody's "Sacred Power of Raging Winds" back in 2004, and I thought the voice in the beginning sounded like Saruman. That's pretty sweet!

Adami · « **Reply #50 on:** July 03, 2010, 07:00:01 PM »

Ok, sorry to bump this thread. I just got this cd and am listening to it. It's horrible. Just horrible. It's seriously book on tape. It's at least 80% talking, a little HORRIBLE singing and very little if any metal so far. I got it cause it's Chris Lee, and even though he is cool on it, the writing is just beyond bad. This could be one of the worst CD's I have ever heard that wasn't intentionally bad and that didn't involve a bunch of teenagers.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #51 on:** July 03, 2010, 07:12:27 PM »

Yeah its pretty damn awful. Hilarious, but awful.

I seriously think the creation of this idea went something like this.

"Hey man, christopher lee wants to make a cd about charlemange."
"No way, I did a report on him back in high school. I'll just dig it up and put some lame music behind it and we're done"
"Anything I can do?"
"Yea, find the worst singers ever to play the other roles"
"on it"

You spent money on that? Was it at least someone elses money?

I'll gladly spend money for Sir Christopher Lee. I bought it for the novelty value.

I was expecting cheesy power metal. I did not get cheesy power metal. I got a book on tape with some music behind it and some bad singing.

I dunno, I know there are LOTS of other bad cd's, but I haven't heard them. This one is just horrible.

UnutterableSquid · « **Reply #62 on:** July 05, 2010, 09:49:19 PM »

I think I am even more intrigued now that I hear that it is a book on tape.

Something different from the usual Christoper Lee / Rhapsody style to break it up so that the next time they work on an over-the-top album about shedding the blood of the saxons it will seem even better.

That, and I love Charlemagne and Christopher Lee.

Also, I just read that this album features Rhapsody, Manowar, and a 100-piece orchestra. What?
