Yeah, I read that a few days ago. Dying of curiosity actually, but the music doesn't work on the myspace page :p Maybe it will at some point http://www.myspace.com/charlemagnemusical |

I actually heard about this. So he's basically the oldest metalhead ever. I'm not too surprised with this actually, mainly because of his Rhapsody collaborations. Of course I listened to the samples and whatever metal elements may be in there are so far back in the mix that it's hard to call it metal. -------------

Probably the coolest voice in metal thusfar. Maybe he'll blow us away with death growls next year

| I'm seriously going to get this. It's one of those things that'll either be one of the highs or lows of the year, either way you don't want to miss it. |

I am SO going to get it. After all, I'm a huge fan. For any Dracula fan, Lee is the One of the Ones.... This rocks.... -------------

| Well, it would not be the first time Lee dabbles in metal, at least of that particular persuasion... He collaborated with Italian band Rhapsody of Fire on at least one album, Symphony of Enchanted Lands II. |

Like others, I'm not entirely surprised because of his collaboration with Rhapsody of Fire ... that being said, it's one thing to narrate a Fantasy story and another to do a historical metal album about the first emperor of Rome. I will totally be getting this though. Thatrical music is almost always fun for me, and I love Roman history. I hope that when I'm 87 years old, I'm still surprising the world too. That's called living. Good for him, either way :)

I so want that. I have so many movies with him (more than 15) and now an album! And metal!  -------------

It's not actually Roman but Holy Roman, in other words, Frankish/German. -------------

Look at that, I haven't even got the album and already I'm learning XD The only bit of Roman history I know so far is some of the stuff that happened at the end.

Their voices combined would probably blow the recording studio off its foundations. Brian is an excellent singer too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZW3RWBKOuw - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZW3RWBKOuw -------------
