I don't quite see the purpose in using a two-row horizontal navbar. 
Does the top bar dictate what goes in the second bar? Are we really at a 
loss for space that vertical navigation is out of the question?  Are we 
really improving website usability by having 2 rows, of different colors 
even?

It looks really nice, but I really think this is quite a big step down 
in usability and goes counter to intuition.

Also, why black and red when myth's colors are usually blue and grey and 
such?

This design seems to make a lot more sense:
