Good ol' Paul had a vision.. He looked into the skies. and saw a Titan with a might sword taking his pet dragon for a walk.
The dragon wanted to take a shit.. but the titan dude was all like "No you fucker.. come on.. we will miss the UEFA cup final if we dont hurry up!"
(I gotta stop talking to Kai Sulkus! )

lol, that sounds exactly like something Kai would say i loved his explanation for Trivium missing Oct 12th and having a magical month called Trivember - Sheer brilliance.

i saw a ad in a guitar magazine for the tour for the Crusade, and it had the titan dude on it and the reins hes holding, but that was it. There was storm clouds and shit around him and lightning bolts and whatnot...so i ask myself...is that a tip of the hat to Metallica's "Ride the Lightning"? let me know what you think.

No, there was lightning because lightning is cool, and makes stuff look all tough, so thats why its there, they were not tipping there hats to Metallica, they'de never put a reference to a band in their artwork, and it was probably just some Mr.Romano's left overs, and he gets his inspiration from the music

i love paul romano's artwork for ascendancy and crusade, both are proper sexy and look good as stage backdrops

Lightning is used everyday in graphics, don't get your panties in a bundle thinking it's another metallica reference.

Funny,I always interpreted the Titan on the front of the crusade to be 'pulling on the strings of a martyr'.....
Did anybody else think of it that way?
