King Crimson (and specifically that particular album) stands at the root of heavy and symphonic rock so it could very well be a reference. The existance of a Crimson King is deeper ingrained into history though, often been used as an alias for the devil, one of the more well known ones from more recent history is from Stephen King's Dark Tower series. So I think it could swing either way, it should be a reference, if they know their music history.iain62a said:I know a band called King Crimson, who have an album called "in the court of the crimson king"HSIAMetalKing post=18.74270.827933 said:The album Touched by the Crimson King by Demons & Wizards.

Haha, that's cool. When i was reading through the first lines i thought to myself "mmh, definately something from Dream Theater... maybe an album with different moods.. Octavarium". Then i read your choice and and got a big grin on my faceDiamondJim said:I was asked this question by my history teacher once...
Suppose you were stranded on an island (hooray!), and had only an indestructible CD player with an infinite amount of battery life. You're only allowed one album to listen to for the rest of your days on said island (meaning actual, store bought CD. NO BURNED MIX CDs. I'm looking at you *pirates*, harhar). Which album would it be, and why?
Personally, I'd go with Octavarium by Dream Theater. Goes through a whole range of moods, so I could listen to any song for any mood.
That one wasn't good, the new one is better (Godspeed on the devils thunder).TheNecroswanson said:Cradle of Filth's Dusk and Her Embrace.
