KEYS – Infinity Parabellum (2026) *HQ*

320_1 /// 320_2 /// HQ 1 /// HQ 2
Unique band KEYS are back and in fine form with their third studio album “Infinity Parabellum“. This all-keyboard band is the brainchild of master keyboardist Mark Mangold (Touch, Drive, She Said, Michael Bolton, Cher, Paul Rogers) and singer Jake E (Cyhra, Amaranthe and others), with help of drum gurus Alex Landenburg (Kamelot, Cyhra) and Adde Larsson.
This ambitious band brings keyboard and instrumental prowess to a new level while playing a range of progressive melodic forays to catchy and melodic rock anthems… and highlighted with Jake’s award-winning voice (Burrn Vocalist of the year 2020). The band shows the versatility of keyboards in the modern age and the professionally crafted songs are brimming with synths, organ and “guitar” style pyrotechnics. We have beautifully layered keyboards with the, now available, “plug in” that perfectly emulates guitars.
And believe us these keys sound like the best electric guitar out there. darn, Mangon even does a cover of Eddie Van Halen’s world famous ”Eruption”. All with keybords. And rocks!
”Eruptions / Flamethrowers” is a huge highlight but there is so much more to discover and enjoy. At moments you are hearing a pure hard and heavy band (”Message From The Void”), the next it is like you are listening to the perfect cross between hard rock and a more progressive Seventies / Eighties rock band (”Jannus”) with certain ASIA feel.
In fact, all songs are super impressive like the mesmerizing and sophisticated track ”Beautiful World”, a great ballad where Jake E shines at the mic.
There is a lot of music here for you to discover. I just picked out a few tracks to give you something to go on but the bulk is for you to unravel and above all enjoy,
If you think that ”Infinity Parabellum” is just about Mangold showing his stuff, think again. The album is also being carried by the incredible singing of Jake E who can reach 4 octaves without any sweat. Over the whole album his singing is flawless and full of depth.
The drummers Landenburg and Larsson also play a big part. Their inventive but also very powerful way of playing add strength, heaviness and at times a stormy thunder to the whole record.
And there is a certain Dennis Ward (Pink Cream 69 / Magnum) who has a fine reputation as producer. This album was produced by Mark and Jake but Ward has given this record a very crispy and powerful mix, adding an extra dimension to the proceedings.
”Infinity Parabellum” is one of the most remarkable albums that 2026 will bring us. The only one who can top this record is Mark Mangold himself as he has found a new vocalist for Drive, She Said, so hopefully there is more to come of this musical magician this year.
But until then, discover and brighten your musical horizon with KEYS’ new album.
