Sir Christopher Lee has released a new mini heavy metal album.

The actor is celebrating his 92nd birthday today and has worked with several heavy metal artists over the years.

The album, entitled “Metal Knight” features seven tracks and two cover songs from the musical “Man of La Mancha” based on the character Don Quixote.

"As far as I am concerned, Don Quixote is the most metal fictional character that I know," Lee said.

"Single handed, he is trying to change the world, regardless of any personal consequences. It is a wonderful character to sing.

"I associate heavy metal with fantasy because of the tremendous power that the music delivers."

“Metal Knight” is released today.
