'Dracula' turns 92 with rock album

Horror film legend Christopher Lee, who turned 92 on Tuesday, is celebrating the milestone by releasing a heavy rock mini-album, Metal Knight, on Monday.

The Dracula actor is a long-time devotee of heavy metal and has already several album releases under his belt.

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

Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi presented him with the Spirit of Metal prize at the Golden Gods Awards in 2010 for his services to metal music.

In December, the actor became the oldest performer on the US Billboard singles chart with his record Jingle Hell.
