Biography

Christopher Frank Carandini Lee (born May 27, 1922 in Belgravia, London) is a legendary and prolific English actor known for his versatility, his professional longevity, and his distinctive basso delivery.

In 1977 he played the roles of Narrator and King of Elfland on the concept album The King Of Elfland’s Daughter. The album also featured Mary Hopkin, PP Arnold, Frankie Miller and Alexis Korner.

He also recently started a career as singer as with his first album in 1998 entitled, Devils, Rogues & Other Villians and in the post millennial era he appeared as a narrator for Italian symphonic fantasy metal band Rhapsody, playing the Wizard King in the latest two albums, Symphony of Enchanted Lands II: The Dark Secret and Triumph or Agony. In addition to narrating several tracks on the two albums, he also sang & recorded a duet album with lead vocalist Fabio Lione called “The Magic of the Wizard’s Dream”.

He released his 2nd solo album in 2007 at the age of 84 under the name of “Revelation” (including a heavy metal song in it)

    Ok, let's take it for what it is. And it's a very bad album. But hell, you gotta show the man some respect ;)

    Lee has a pretty good voice for this stuff, I must say.

    I'm surprised this is a real thing. I haven't listened to any of these albums, but I'm sure they would provide a nice laugh or two.

    Dear GrandHibou, Opinion is a statement in which one expresses one's feelings towards given subject, be it music, games, books or movies. While your opinion is quite aggressively attacking other people's opinions. feel free to do it. I just have to ask: Why didi you even wrote this? It sounds just like hate to me.

    Well the album isn't very good but that's not the point. Much respect for a man who gets into metal in his 80s, truly inspirational to see someone doing whatever the hell he wants.

    I'm curious whether anyone can take his music seriously. That Verden comedy song even makes Rhapsody videos look mature and professional. So bad it's good, I guess.

    'A Heavy Metal Christmas' might just be the greatest thing I have ever heard in my life.
