Dream Theater: The Astonishing (now with moment of betrayal!)

[RoeDent]

"but this Chosen One is, in fact, my blood, and my brother."

Must've missed that bit. I stand corrected.

[Frankgate]

If the guys don't release a full new song by the end of next week I'll kill myself. 

[Train of Naught]

Finally! I had finished reading the 52 pages! This is so exiting! Hello to everyone... greetings from Venezuela!

Man, that takes some real patience to read 52 pages, congrats! Welcome and greetings from your neighbour, Brazil!

Thanks bro! 

This album for me, represents what SFAM was after the "FII years", they HAVE to make it GREAT!

I personally have a great feeling about The Astonishing.

For future reference, I recommend going to the "What we know so far" thread, this one's 90% bogus, 9% educated guesses and 1% clock theories. Unless you, like me, enjoy whacky conversations. Anyways welcome to DTF!

[RMGadelha]

Dream Theater just confirmed on Facebook that Gabriel is indeed The Chosen.

[Bertielee]

Yep, Gabriel confirmed as the chosen one.

[Kotowboy]

Yep, Gabriel confirmed as the chosen one.

I'd choose him any day

[MustActFastToCoverUp]

Yep, Gabriel confirmed as the chosen one.

And I was sure the chosen one was the silhouette in the right lower corner, that looks like a child.
Can we be sure Faythe is a person and not just a funny way of spelling 'faith'?

[RoeDent]

Right then. So Gabriel is the Chosen One, Arhys' blood, his brother.

[Crow]

and confirmed on twitter too

[BlobVanDam]

There is a person called Nafaryus, so I have no doubt Faythe is also gonna be a person.

[ResultsMayVary]

I'd be very surprised if Faythe wasn't a character.

[RoeDent]

1. I actually think that silhouette looks like an alien. Either that, or that guy's got a huge scalp. Or an afro...

2. Why else would they spell it Faythe and not faith? It only seems like the names of characters are spelt unusually.

3. Cool username.

Are you kidding me? I've just read through 53 pages only wishing to find some nonsense conversation. If I'd wanna get some solid info I would just refer to the thread you've mentioned 

Speculation time = Fun time.

[Sacul]

Wait, Gabriel looks similar to Kevin Moore

I didn't make it up by myself. Stole it from cheesy lyrics on an obscure concept album.

[Nomaniac]

GUEST APPEARANCE COMFIRMED!!! 

[Nomaniac]

Wait, Gabriel looks similar to Kevin Moore 

I actually had the same feeling that he looked like someone from DT when I first saw him. At first I thought Mangini but then that would be kind of a stretch . . . couldn't put my finger on it

thank you guys i really enjoyed this whacky conversations! hahahahaha

so... we have a savior huh?

[RMGadelha]

No. We have a traitor to our Great Empire. SEIZE HIM AT ONCE!

[CDrice]

So Gabriel is the chosen one. I wonder if his name has anything to do with the Archangel Gabriel who I believe is sometimes associated with the trumpet sound on judgement day. If that's the case, maybe we'll have a trumpet solo somewhere on the album

Speaking of which, where is Clock Guy? It's been a while since I last saw him.

[TH1RT3EN]

Believing Nafaryus to be responsible for his love interest's death (Losing Faythe), Gabriel is convinced by Arhys to join him in his plan to attack the Empire's fortress (Whispers on the Wind). They manage to destroy the NOMACS, break in Nafaryus' castle and defeat him. Right after that, Arhys knocks Gabriel down, locks him and Nafaryus in the dungeons and autoproclaims himself as the new emperor. Turns out Arhys was the real villain the whole time and the NOMACS were the only thing keeping the Empire safe from his tyranny and his brain-washing music. He was actually Faythe's murderer and used Gabriel's rage to make him join his side, only to clear the path for a coup d'etat. The remaining Ravenskill survivors rescue the two prisoners and Nafaryus lead them to rebuild the NOMACS in order to take Arhys down and reclaim the throne (Hymn of a Thousand Voices). They attack Arhys and finally manage to kill him, but Nafaryus is fatally wounded during the final battle. Just before dying, he chooses Gabriel as heir to the throne (Our New World). With no threat against the Empire anymore, the NOMACS are dismantled (Power Down). The Ravenskill rebels, upon realizing they were being manipulated by a fake leader the whole time, join the empire and serve as Gabriel's loyal army. Peace finally rules the land and, to everyone's astonishment, The Great Northern Empire and The Ravenskill Rebel Militia finally become one (Astonishing).

[chego_voice]

No. We have a traitor to our Great Empire. SEIZE HIM AT ONCE!

Wait for the outcry!
Resistance is calling tonight!

[noxon]

Remember the path that divides. This has been the main theme since the beginning of communication - the path dividing. This is obviously important to the plot when there's even a song named such.
