A little musical treat today: this is simply too cool (and by cool I mean absolutely sub-zero) for me not to flag up. Sir Christopher Lee, one of my favourite actors and all-round top guy, has apparently recorded a heavy metal album. I never expected him to do such a thing, but if you think about it, his deep baritone voice makes a great juxtaposition with an electric guitar, and his smooth, dark demeanour goes well with the general mise-en-scene of metal. That’s why I thought this awesome news: the image of saruman atop Isenguard with an electric guitar in his hand keeps popping into my conscious; now, how rock ‘n’ roll would that be?
