Some quotes :

Chris Tsangarides(Grammy Nominated Producer of Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Darkology & Many More):
"If you were to look up the meaning of power metal in a dictionary there would be just a one word explanation...Darkology!"

Ben Jackson (Crimson Glory/Avenging Benji Guitarist):
Darkology : Dark Grooves, tight riffs, fierce vocals ! A new metal force to be reckoned with !

Jack Starr (Solo / ex Virgin Steele Guitarist): "Fated To Burn" is a powerful and epic album that reminds me of the best Maiden and Priest albums. I love the mixing of classical and power metal elements, the great vocals and the excellent solos! Long Live Darkology"

Harry Conklin/The Tyrant/Lucifer Thisiren (Jag Panzer/Titan Force/Satan's Host) :
Just heard the new Darkology album. THIS IS GREAT!!! I like how some solos are totally jazzy and all the weird timings in the songs. Vocals are REALLY tasty. There are so many good songs and so much good stuff going on.

Lance King(Balance Of Power, Avian, Pyramaze, Solo + many more):
"This record sets the bar on dark progressive metal releases, very high indeed".

J.T. Longoria (Producer/ Multi-instrumentalist : Credits include King Diamond, Izzy Stradlin, Volbeat, Darkology):
"Relentless, brutal, hypnotic and masterfully crafted works that creep up the spine and invade the psyche.. It was a privilege to play and an honor to share the stage with Darkology on their fall European tour."
