PJD Calling all metal heads past and present. This is the best pure metal album I have heard in a while. These veterans of the US metal scene have created something awesome! The band is great and Kelly Sundown Carpenter crushes on the vocals. I'd write more but I would rather listen to this some more.
/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    One of the best albums, of 2015.

    Metal Hammer GR : 9/10 (HAMMERED distinction).
    Has your favorite band, recently dissapointed you ? Are you still praying to the IRON MAIDENS and the JUDAS PRIESTs, hoping for a metallic miracle ? Are you a follower of the KING of DIAMONDs or are you more of a QUEENSRYCHE type? Are you tired of listening to VICIOUS RUMORS ? Do you want to don the CRIMSON GLORY-ous robe, once more or to find SANCTUARY inside a METAL CHURCH? Then this album is a no brainer. You 're gonna love it and i will not regret any words of praise that I have given these guys for sure.

    Rock Hard GR : 8,5/10
    One Of The Best albums of our times !

    Rock Hard (DE) : 8/10
    Dark, Prog (without becoming tiresome) and properly cool ! Horny Shit ! (??!)

    Rock Hard (IT) : 8/10
    For those who like the sound epic and evocative style of Vicious Rumors, Helstar, Crimson Glory and early Queensryche this purchase is not only highly recommended but totally obligatory!

    Metal Hammer (DE) : 5/7 Darkology are true to their name. Residing on the dark side of the heavy-or power metal the focus is most prominent on the extraordinary voice of Kelly Sundown Carpenter, who does a great job. Metal Hammer Germany 5/7

    Deaf Forever (DE) : 9/10
    Really Impressed By This album !

    Rock It! (DE) (8,5/10) :
    A Must Buy For Power Metal fans, perfect songs!

    Sweeden Rock Magazine (/10) :

    Powerplay (UK) : 8/10
    “Fated To Burn” is a classy album !

    Fireworks (UK) : 8/10
    Thankfully, the long wait is now over and ‘Fated To Burn’ is finally upon us! Aims straight for the hearts and minds of anyone with a penchant for classic Savatage, Beyond Twilight, Crimson Glory, Metal Church (circa their classic ‘The Dark’ opus) and Armored Saint (with a customary nod towards both Black Sabbath and Judas Priest).

    Steetclip/Strike! Magazine : 8/10
    At times prog and at times doom, it's metal through and through. Highly recommended !

    Powermetal.de : 9/10
    Darkology's second strike is once again pretty awesome and could easily up be on the podium for best of the year albums in the genre !

    NuRocks (ES) : 4/5
    If you like American Metal, and you 're looking for a powerful album, with great playing and an awesome voice, “Fated To Burn” will not dissapoint you !

    Speakers (mag/NL) : 90/100
    A top tier release, the sort of which make me happy to be a fan !

    Lord Of Metal (NL) : 92/100
    This is a jewel among CDs and I m sure we 'll hear about these guys again in the future !

    MetalUnderground (US) 4.5/5
    Darkology is a Metal Church for a new generation!/One of the best albums in the past decade

    MetalUnderground (AT) 4.5/5
    Stands high above the mass of releases out there !

    FFM ROCK (DE) : 9/10
    Great !

    Monkey Castle (DE) : 9/10
    Fated To Burn is a FANTASTIC album ! … Get it now people !

    Lady Obscure : 4/5
    Fated To Burn is a great follow up to the bands first album and is sure to impress fans of Sanctuary, Carl Albert era Vicious Rumors (the only era that matters), and Metal Church.
    U.S. power metal (with a dark, brooding edge) is alive and well with Darkology.

    TrueMetalLives : 9/10
    This CD needs to be played from end to end with the volume cranked up to max!
    A very awesome effort and very fitting for the band name as well as the title!

    GrimTower : 9/10
    Fans of Crimson Glory, Sanctuary, Leather, Metal Church, Judas Priest and several others will eat this one right up and they very well should. Highly Recomended

    Metal Factory.CH : 8.9/10
    Darkology sound like a progressive variant of Judas Priest and a kick ass one at that !

    Calle's Corner (DK) : 5/6
    There are not really any bad numbers and I m constantly excited about the variety of what's going on ! And Kelly's voice ...

    Grande-Rock (GR) : 9/10 (Album of the month : June)
    The bottom line is that “Fated to Burn” is already a candidate for the album of the year. It’s another astounding release by a band which should and will grow much bigger in time… the prog followers know that already… it’s time for the metal massed to get it too…

    Rock Overdose (GR) : 8/10
    Definatelly on my albums of the year list !


    Battle Helm : (they don't grade albums)
    If you like searing, molten metal a la Priest or Metal Church then Ohio’s Darkology will no doubt be blitzing you with this white hot sophomore!

    Dangerdog : 4/5
    If like your metal a bit dark, somewhat foreboding at times, yet still sharp and technical, you'll dig this album.

    Zephyr's Odem : 8,5/10
    Mandatory Purchase, If you like Power Metal (similar to CAGE, JUDAS PRIEST, METAL CHURCH)

    Emails from fans :
    This is like the younger, more sophisticated, American cousin of “Painkiller” ! Love the artwork too!(Josh,USA)

Condemned on Death Row Staring at the walls. Counting down the hours They throw the switch at dawn. No stay of execution. No governor's reprieve. No appeals or dirty deals. No chance they'll set me free. Chorus: I am a monster / I am your disease My wicked game inflicting pain Brings you to your knees No one can stop me You don't stand a chance I CANNOT DIE. MY WILL DEFIES. KILL ME. KILL ME IF YOU CAN. "Hear my last confession." The Priest stares at the floor. "Father,yes, I have sinned. Since the day that I was born. Look deep into my eyes Tell me what you see. No remorse. A Demon Seed The Perfect Kill Machine." Chorus: I am a monster / I am your disease My wicked game inflicting pain Brings you to your knees No one can stop me You don't stand a chance I CANNOT DIE. MY WILL DEFIES. KILL ME. KILL ME IF YOU CAN. M-8 My evil is eternal. And all I've got is....time. In chains I walk the mile. They strap me to the chair. Before I don the hood of black I give them all a scare. "Think you've seen the last of me? Be warned and beware." "On the day your numbers up, You'll find me waiting there." Chorus: I am a monster / I am your disease My wicked game inflicting pain Brings you to your knees No one can stop me You don't stand a chance I CANNOT DIE. MY WILL DEFIES. KILL ME. KILL ME IF YOU CAN.

The Madness began in 1692. Evil's loose, Prepare The Hangman's Noose. Misguided Child you Played The Vexing Game At Salem, You will Hang! You will Hang! I Stand alone, the Seeds of Venom sown. A Shadows' throw from Beyond the Grave. On this day in Salem, Ye hath been Accused. Charged with Witchcraft What Say you Miss Good? Do you Conspire with Spirits? Do you Obey their Will? Confess or Thou swings on Gallows' Hill. Tell me who's behind this Masquerade The Fear, the Pain....and the Lies. I Pray you Return from Whence you Came I Bid thee Goodbye. I Stand alone, the Seeds of Venom sown. A Shadows' throw from Beyond the Grave. Before I die my life goes flashing by A distant cry from Beyond the Grave. Travesty of Justice. Hanging Judge's Rage. On The Good Book swear away your Fate. In the Darkest Hours Truth was told in Vain. You Can Hear Their Cries still today. Tell me who's behind this Masquerade The Fear, the Pain and the Lies. I Pray you Return from Whence you Came An Eye begets an Eye. I Stand alone, a lost, tormented Soul A Voice unknown from Beyond the Grave. ‘Tis not the end. The dead shall rise again. So cries the wind from Beyond the Grave. Beyond the Grave Beyond the Grave Beyond the Grave Beyond the Grave Beyond the Grave Beyond the Grave I stand alone.

Three Hundred years I've hunted here. One Hundred Thousand kills My Primal Rage - A Lust for Blood Holds reign upon my will On Morrow's Break The Stars will fade As Darkness comes Undone I'll greet the rays of the Morning Sun Through The Gates of Hell I Come Too long I've played this deadly game I still can see their eyes How many more must sacrifice That I alone survive? On Morrow's Break The Stars will fade As Darkness comes Undone I'll greet the rays of the Morning Sun Through The Gates of Hell I Come Cursed by the Light. Slave to the Night Trapped for all Eternity There's just one way - I Seize the Day Free me from this Misery No sympathy. No Funeral Pyre When it is our Time to Die Tormented Soul befriends the Fire. No One cries for The Vampire On Morrow's Break The Stars will Fade As Darkness comes Undone I'll greet the rays of the Morning Sun Through The Gates of Hell I Come On Morrow's Break The Stars will Fade As Darkness comes Undone I'll greet the rays of the Morning Sun. One hundred thousand One.

Free the bonds of conformity From The Land of the Blind Can you read between the lines of lies Can you feel it slipping away? Will we waken too late? From the darkness destiny awaits Chorus I am the Moth drawn to the flame Into a fiery grave Jaded truths that I never learned Lost & Fated to Burn. As Atropos holds the fate of man There's no escaping her hand Never a master - a hopeless slave I am....oh.... Chorus I am the Moth drawn to the flame Into a fiery grave Jaded truths that I never learned Lost & Fated to Burn. We are black in the night We are death in disguise We are blood and the knife We are Judas revived Oh, tell me why I'm Fated to Burn Fated to Burn Fated to Burn I am the Moth drawn to the flame Into a fiery grave Jaded truths that I never learned Lost & Fated to Burn We are the Moths drawn to the flame Not too late to be saved? On a road of no return We are all Fated to Burn....

Slithering through the sands of time Behind, a golden tale From the pages of a book, I shape the Hammers and the Nails History has shown, my mark on every throne Amidst the blood and bone I’m your savior, I’m the one. In the dark I hold the sun, Before your birth you wear my stain I am HOLY, You know my name I was born to elevate, man above the world Keep him separate from the beasts, from the strange and the unheard Fear and hate my soil. Ignorance my coil I bring you shame and toil I’m your savior, I’m the one. In the dark I hold the sun, Before your birth you wear my stain I am HOLY, You know my name Confounded by their emptiness they fill their hearts with lies Twisted by their righteousness, their wrongs become their rights Forever living in the dark they pray the end is bright For the promise of eternity they throw away their lives Though you’ll never see my face, you’ll never be alone I’m watching all you do, carving it into a stone Forgiveness mine to sell, from the garden where they fell Is it Heaven - Is it Hell ? Yeah ! I’m your savior, I’m the one. In the dark I hold the sun, Before your birth you wear my stain I am HOLY, You know my name.
