A musical question concerning bombast.

(Still sickly. About to go take NyQuil and crash for the night.)

So! Thanks to Rue Morgue Magazine's 100th issue interview with Sir Christopher Lee ::swoon::, I have learned about his new musical project.

Charlemagne: By the Sword and the Cross. (clicky-link!)

It's labeled as "symphonic metal". Rue Morgue says "Charlemagne is really closer to grandiose classical with occasional passages punctuated by chugging metal guitar", and "Lee mostly chant-sings over the top of sweeping orchestral flourishes".

I ... I think I have to own this. Bombastic symphonic metal AND Sir Christopher Lee? I'm kind of agog. This will either be the most amazing thing ever, or I will finally have something to inflict upon [livejournal.com profile] junya and [livejournal.com profile] keonei in revenge for that heavy metal Christmas album they made me listen to. Either way, I win!
