I SHED THE BLOOD OF THE SAXON MEN!

[defrog]

Hello Internet.

Can I interest you in a symphonic metal concept album about Charlemagne?

No? How about if I throw in Sir Christopher Lee singing the title role?

Yes, THAT Sir Christopher Lee.

"Lesley Gore sings "Hello Young Lovers" & "Didn't We"" (Watch on YouTube)

How much AWESOME can you stand?

Okay, it’s probably going to be more Jeff Wayne than Metallica. Still, the tag line “Christopher Lee fronts metal band” is a deal-closer. At least for people like me.

BONUS AWESOME: The release date is the Ides Of March.

FUN FACT: Lee is actually a direct descendent of Charlemagne. That’s so metal.

Saxon violence,

This is dF

This is so entirely awesome that it has killed any chance of me stating anything awesome, funny, etc. to add to it....I mean.....Lee does Metal, the Ides of March, and being a direct descendant....that's a trifecta that can't be topped...

The only thing that could top it is that when you actually touched the CD a battle from the Middle Ages with Charlemagne dealing wrath of god death blows to his enemies broke out in front of your eyes....
(this only happens with the physical CD, digital downloads do not apply)

(classic battles app to appear soon somewhere)
