“We mourn the loss of our friend Sir Christopher Lee” posted Manowar bassist Joey DeMaio on Facebook. Then in 2010 he teamed up with Manowar when the kings of power metal re-recorded their 1982 debut album, Battle Hymns, as Battle Hymns MMXI Lee recited a spoken word passage originally performed by Orson Welles for the reworked version of the song “Dark Avenger.” ” Two years later he dabbled in the genre again on his own 2006 operatic pop album, Revelation, with “Toreador March (Metal Mix),” a guitar-heavy reimagining of the song from the opera Carmen. Regardless of whether metal started in 1958 with The Horror of Dracula or in 1970 with Black Sabbath, Lee’s first musical contribution to the genre didn’t come until 2005 when the actor provided guest narration on Rhapsody of Fire’s single “The Magic of the Wizard’s Dream. In a 2013 promotional video for one of Lee’s own albums, he told Iommi, “You are the father of metal,” to which the guitarist replied, “But you’re the one that started it, really, because we used to go watch Dracula and the horror films you did and that’s what influenced us.” Lee became a fan of metal in the early Seventies when he first heard Black Sabbath, whose guitarist Tony Iommi reciprocated the respect the actor had for his band and the genre it spawned. While he’s best remembered for playing various evil characters – Dracula and Frankenstein’s monster for Britain’s Hammer Films, James Bond’s foil Francisco Scaramanga in 1974’s The Man With the Golden Gun and the wizard Saruman in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Ring flicks – Lee had a longstanding fascination with metal, which he channeled into his own music late in his life.

He also seems to have stage-fright, as when too many people watch him, he locks up and becomes unable to perform. At the same time, Lee seems to suffer from social anxiety, always worrying about people's views of him and wanting to impress others.
