A review of our current album - Uncontrollable Forces - by Burt from Beowolf Productions (http://www.beowolfproductions.com) and Treats from the Underground:
KEYDRAGON - UNCONTROLLABLE FORCES
(14 track CD) KEYDRAGON STUDIOS
This California based band is back with another new release. The mastermind behind this band is Ron Langford doing bass, keys, synthesis & vocals along with some other musicians & vocalists. They center their sound on Metal, but they toss is Thrash, Doom, Classic Rock, Death, Progressive Metal & even some Jazz sounds too. This band mixes it up a lot. The thing that really makes them stand out is the Psycho Sax all through out their sound. It almost sounds out of place, but they make it work, some how. The vocals are done in a mid ranged almost Death growl with some female vocals in the back. This is a different sounding band with a lot of originality!!! Check it if you have an open mind!!!

KeyDragon is a Gothic/Power/Doom Metal band with unique songs that combine an aggressive singing/screaming vocalist with a heavy synth player, a keyboarder of the new wave type, A rock 'n' roll drummer/percussive synthesist, three different guitarists ranging from death to new wave, and a troupe of 3 tribal, Gothic female vocalists. When these powers combine, the most original, heavy, and driven music is created. George R Langford has provided much of the inspiration as well as the theme of the second album - Drink From The Waters Of War. Three songs are of the war as it really is and does...not the war you see and hear about from everyone else. Ron Langford (KeyDragon) has written 5 songs of a fantasy war of Dragons. This is one of the heaviest experiences you will ever undertake. Be prepared to Drink From The Waters Of War! KeyDragon has finally finished their third album - Fire Red Perception - and it was released on Halloween, October 31, 2004. KeyDragon is finished up on their fourth album - Uncontrollable Forces - and a CD release party occurred on October 29th, from 8pm to Midnight at the Marysville Elks Lodge in Northern California.
KeyDragon has a new line-up for their 5th album - Dragon Prophecies - Which will be released on Halloween, 2006. KeyDragon had to say "Good-bye!!!" to it's Psycho sax player and extra female vocalist due to a serious split in perspective and philosophy. Good luck to Mississippi Bud and Lily White on their future musical explorations.
KeyDragons' 5th album will focus on more 3 part female vocals with an emphasis in Gothic metal music and synthetic leads with keyboard experimentation. This new album will be different than the previous ones and it will lean towards the current Gothic Metal trends. Keep your eyes on the future of KeyDragon. It will be bigger, brighter, and badder than ever!!!
