Biography
Screamin' Lord Byron
Real name: Gabriel Byrne
Effective period / Period of releases: 1987
In Ken Russell's film Gothic, poet Lord Byron was played by Gabriel Byrne. Thomas Dolby's soundtrack for the film closes with the song "The Devil Is An Englishman", which prominently features samples of Byrne's dialogue from the film, much of it shouted -- hence, the half-serious "featuring Screamin' Lord Byron" credit on the single and the soundtrack album.
