In time for some Christmas cheer, The Metal Voice House Band releases "Excalibur". Watch the video below.
Singer Giles Lavery (Warlord, Alcatrazz, Jack Starr) teams up with The Metal Voice podcaster, editor Jimmy Kay, and producer multi- instrumentalist Thomas Mergler (Paul Di'anno's Hell Over Waltrop, Jack Starr) to release the epic song.
Says Jimmy Kay, "As a kid I used to write lyrics all the time hoping that one day my words would become an international hit song. So after watching the Excalibur movie sometime in 1981 I ran home and quickly wrote down the 'Excalibur' lyrics. Forty three years later I posted the original lyrics on social media as a cute retro thing. Meanwhile, Giles Lavery my close friend saw this post and texted me right away saying this needs to be a song... Lavery contacted producer and friend Thomas Mergler and the rest is history."
Giles Lavery added, "The concept of the video is an homage to the fun of Iron Maiden's comical 'Holy Smoke' video. We also thought why not share some Christmas cheer right before the holidays and bring some smiles to everyone's faces."
The Metal Voice House Band is Giles Lavery, Thomas 'Rockt' Mergler and Jimmy Kay.
