Keys - Infinity Parabellum (CD)

Third KEYS album from keyboarder and mastermind Mastermind Mark Mangold (TOUCH, DRIVE SHE SAID) is again quite a surprise. Mangold together with Frontman Jake E. (CYHRA, AMARANTHE) as well as drummers Alex Landenburg (KAMELOT, CYHRA) and Adde Larsson create exciting, rich and at times futuristic worlds of sound. As the name already suggests, keyboards are essential here, which, of course, does not mean that there is no rock. Multi-layered sounds, playful and yet epic that never lose focus on the most important: The melodies! (MS)
