Wow, I will have to look up the album.  There are a few mentions of 
the Crimson King in Wolves, but really just hints that he will be the 
ultimate thing they have to face.  As far as I know, SK hasn't 
publically said anything about that album, and I read any interview 
about the Dark Tower pretty obsessively.
