What really works for me across its ten tracks is how the organs and electric guitars are often completely joined at the hip. Almost every single track is a furious explosion of music. All of this carries over into the KEYGEN CHURCH’s second album ‘░█░█░░█░█░█░’ (again a reference to hidden code and hacker delights). The melodies held in each piece would be a maddening attack of arpeggios, speedy chords and riffs and would contain near-impossible feats of human hand manipulation to perform. It was done to showcase technical skill and prowess. The Italian artist known as KEYGEN CHURCH is referencing a time when the internet was young and hackers and demo scene musicians would post music manipulated from programs that seem royally impossible to recreate. Think Castlevania on Speed and you are there. It is quite unlike anything else I own in my music collection and I absolutely love it. The idea here is to fuse together piano, massive pipe organs and pure thrash metal into a tsunami of music.
KEYGEN CHURCH has introduced me to an entirely new genre of music. The soundtrack to a future Castlevania movie.
