There's also, er, some heavy-duty headbanging, courtesy of Italian composer Marco Sabiu. As half of 1980s production duo the Rapino Brothers, Sabiu helped create hits by Kylie Minogue and Take That. More recently, Sabiu worked with both Françoise Hardy and Luciano Pavarotti. According to the project's website, the lyrics were written by Marie-Claire Calvet, "a graduate from Bristol University". Calvet's MySpace states that she is a fan of such metal luminaries as Judy Garland, Jacques Brel and Oasis.

I approve of all this.

four years pass...

He just released Metal Knight, with music about Don Quixote. He says "as far as I am concerned, Don Quixote is the most metal fictional character that I know."

Just checking his discography, four albums, three EPs and loads of guest appearances!
