Christopher Lee, 92, releases new heavy metal Christmas song

To get you folks in the holiday spirit:

Just in time for the holidays, the 92-year-old acting legend is releasing a brand new Christmas single titled "Darkest Carols, Faithful Sing." The playful metal song is set to the tune of "Hark the Herald Angels Sing." It feature's Lee's bass vocals over Hedras Ramos’ guitar.

This marks the actor's third heavy metal Christmas release after 2012’s A Heavy Metal Christmas and 2013’s Heavy Metal Christmas Too. He's put out a handful of non-holiday metal tracks over the years as well. You can catch a snippet of the new song around the 1:51 mark of this YouTube medley, which includes bits from his previous releases as well:

sounds just like Til from Rammstein lol do this in german and have a duet with Til? hahahahahahaha. still Rob Halford did some rather good Christmas music too and not that it matters but he's in his 60's and gay. again doesn't matter nothing like certain crazy right wing christians wanting Other Christians who are gay dead. even better if they happen to sing CHRISTMAS songs Go Rob!!

Long before he played Dracula, the James Bond villain Scaramunga, Count Dooku, or Saruman, he had a service record in WWII that sounded like that was wilder than one of his cousin Ian Fleming's stories (Yeah, he's Ian Fleming's cousin!).

The fact that Sir Christopher is now, officially, at 92, the oldest Heavy Metal Rocker in history, is just the capstone to an incredible, unconventional life and career.
