Ex-ICED EARTH/DEATH Drummer Releases 'Majestic Loincloth' Film

February 25, 2009

Acclaimed heavy metal drummer Richard Christy (ICED EARTH, DEATH, LEASH LAW, CONTROL DENIED, BURNING INSIDE),who currently works for "The Howard Stern Show", has issued the following update:

"First and foremost I'd like to announce that after many years of talk and speculation from the Hollywood community, my film 'Majestic Loincloth' has finally been released! This is a film that I shot way back in 2002-2004 and needless to say, it is possibly the manliest, most sword swinging, headbanging, and all around idiotic movie of all time! If you want a good laugh then you should definitely check it out! It is on YouTube.com in two parts.

"Something else that's on Youtube.com right now that I'm extremely proud of is video of me introducing my favorite band COHEED AND CAMBRIA at the legendary Madison Square Garden in New York City! I want to sincerely thank the guys in COHEED AND CAMBRIA and their manager Blaze for allowing me to introduce them at the most famous arena in the world! It was such a rush!

"COHEED AND CAMBRIA, SLIPKNOT and TRIVIUM sounded amazing that night! I know members of all three bands so I was very proud to see all of them playing Madison Square Garden which is something every musician, including me, dreams of! I'm still hoping that one day I'll be able to play drums there.

"Speaking of music, I can't give any specifics right now but I will be recording some of my own music very soon with some very special friends of mine! I've been writing an album for the last three years and I'm hoping to release it by the end of this year, it's very brutal, melodic metal and I'm SOOOO psyched to get back into the studio! If you'd like a sample of some of the music I've written recently there's a YouTube.com video of an instrumental that I wrote for my Howard TV drumming special.

"Now, for all of you horror fans out there, myself and my work partner Sal 'The Stockbroker' Governale are two characters in the new horror novel 'Castaways' by my favorite writer Brian Keene! I'm a huge fan of Brian's, he's a brilliant writer and his novels scare the crap out of me! It is such an honor to be a part of one of his books! I've been reading Brian's work for years now and it's so surreal and awesome to read about me being stalked by bloodthirsty creatures on a deserted island! I'm about halfway through reading the book now and it's amazing! If you know Sal and I from the 'Stern Show', then you'll get a kick out of some of the stuff written about us in this book! You can buy the book 'Castaways' at all major bookstores and online and you can get more info about Brian Keene at www.briankeene.com.

"I'm also psyched that a film that I was recently featured in 'Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay' is now playing on Cinemax and Cinemax On Demand. The movie is hilarious and a lot of fun, get some friends together, grab some refreshments and be prepared to laugh your private parts off!"
