The Nightmare King

from Fated To Burn by Darkology

supported by
/
  • 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)

about

A 4 part "suite" about some "Freddy Krueger" like entity that kills in cyberspace and in your sleep ...

lyrics

I) Shadows Of The Abyss

Consider a Parallel Fate Unobscured
Where Fiction and Fact Come Unglued
A Place Where Atrocities Thrive Unrestrained
Where You Don't Want your Dreams to Come True

I Navigate the Nexus The Key to Far & Wide
Amid a Black & Starless Sky I Search for Evil's Guise.
I Become what Strikes your Fear. Your Deepest Darkest Foes
Phantoms of the Underworld - Their Powers I Invoke

II) The Summoning

I take what you can't find -Architect of Dreams
Thief by Night. Second Sight. Nothing's what it Seems
You will fall Victim to Slumbers' Soft Embrace
Terrified. Fear Defined. Nightmare Interface
Seventh Son. Hired gun. Telepathic Breed
We Converge then Traverse, Beyond Reality
In your mind. The Perfect Crime. Secrets are Revealed.
You've been Burned but can't Discern - What's Fiction or what's Real?

Go to sleep. If you dare.
Welcome to my Dream Lair.
I am all that you fear.
Every evil finds you here.
Trapped inside a private hell
My designs they serve me well
I'm the Master of your Dreams
I am The Nightmare King

Corporations, Countless Nations. Clients on the Rise.
Target synched. Neuro-linked. Eyes upon the prize.
Live or Die... I decide. Let the games begin.
No escape. Dreams I shape. Subterfuge within.

Go to sleep. If you dare.
Welcome to my Dream Lair.
I am all that you fear.
Every evil finds you here.
Trapped inside a private hell
My designs they serve me well
I'm the Master of your Dreams
I am The Nightmare King

III) The Construct

I am The Nightmare King. Master of Dreams.

Upon a Throne of Black I Reign
The Altered States - My Domain
Riding on an Astral Plane
A Dream within a Dream I make
Within you Lies the Truth I Seek
Pray The Lord your Soul to Keep
On this Night before you Wake
A Dream within a Dream I Take

I Take what you can't Find - Architect of Dreams
Thief by Night. Second Sight. Nothing's as it Seems
You know where to find me - Where Terror stalks it's Prey.
Where Gloom, Doom & Horror roam and Darkness Blacks the Day.

IV) Eternus Nocturne: The Dark Domain

Nightmare King. Nightmare King.

Go to sleep. If you dare.
Welcome to my Dream Lair.
I am all that you fear.
Every evil finds you here.
Trapped inside a private hell
My designs they serve me well
Will this terror ever end?
In this place there's just one friend...

I'm the Master of your Dreams
I am The Nightmare King
I'm the Master of your Dreams
I am The Nightmare King
Nightmare King. Nightmare King.
Nightmare King. Nightmare King.
