I see no relation whatsoever between the 'radio waves' thing which sounded very sci-fi to this power-metal sounding medieval fare.

I like it.

I'm with the Great Northern Empire!

Funny thing: There's already a guy asking Mike Portnoy if "he is Northern Empire or Ravenskill". It's at one of his last posts at Facebook. I think he would go with rebel. haha

Signed up for both emails but Great Northern Empire!

Quadruple album, Kotow.
 
3 epics, one 28 mins, other 32 and the last one 62 mins.

The rest, songs between 8-17 minutes.

The DVD will be a full play of the entire album.
It's a plan by MP, he gave them an inspiration rush, so that they would play it entirely during the DVD show. MM will collapse from exhaustion and pass away, MP will ask triumphantly to rejoin.

His petition will be denied, however, and another drummer will be picked.

I choose the third option. I'll stay neutral until both sides destroy one another and then I'll rise as the commander of humanity!

But then I'll cry as I realize I'm the last human on Earth and I have zero survival skills  :lol

Right now, just Ravenskill. But I'll probably also choose the GNE later...
As a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.

Ravenskill Rebel Militia, because it looked cooler. Have you tried imagining either of these two things being worked into song lyrics? Hmmmmmmmm.

I kind of hate that this will indefinitely divide the DT community but I have to say I "chose" the Great Northern Empire but really, I was born with a loyalty to the Empire so I feel like the choice was predisposed before birth. 

Ravenskill Militia is simply reactive, unorganized, and took a legitimate complaint (government intrusion) and then frantically fought for power and turned into much more of a dictatorship than the Empire could ever dream of.  Thankfully, I do not think it will last much longer but if it did, you are in for a much more autocratic government than they claim to be against. 

I pledge my loyalty to the Great Northern Empire!

Episode LVIII - The Rise of Ravenskill

The cycle of war between the Miracle and
the Sleeper has reached its climax. Rebel
militia, in the name of Ravenskill, have the
power to once and for all overthrow the
tyranny of the Great Northern Empire.

Armed with detailed knowledge of plans
to once and for all end any political
dissent, the Rebels sneak back to their
secret base, hidden in barrels of fine
Wine.

Pursued by the Empire's sleeper cells,
Princess Victoria, traitor to the sleepers,
Makes a brief stop in METROPOLIS, seeking
Some Raw Dog...

Joined Ravenskill first...and then, the Empire. ;D Would be more on the side of the rebel militia though (might be a double agent like Rumby after all?).

While I agree that the artwork doesn't necessarily look too polished, I find the design interesting -

The Great Northern Empire's design has two rings which interlock, while the Ravenskill Rebel Militia's logo is in an "x" shape or a starfish shape. If you superimpose them on top of each other, they roughly form the shape of the Majesty symbol.


Man, great observation! What if our job was to reunite both sides? I'm as excited as a little kid in a toy store now!

What if these two are possible album titles, and the fans are supposed to vote for the one they should use on DT13?

Neither of them are very good album titles.

They recorded two albums. The one we chose will be released, the other one will be destroyed entirely and will never be heard of again.

I had another theory. What if they are possible song titles instead? And the one with most votes is the first single from the new album?
