ALLEN KEY

The band Allen Key, formed by Karina Menasce (vocals), Victor Anselmo and Pedro Fornari (guitars) and Willian Moura (bass), brings characteristics that help tell the evolution of contemporary Brazilian hard rock and metal: their own identity, expressive vocals, and a sound that transitions between heaviness and melody. Formed in São Paulo in 2018, they built their trajectory combining influences of hard rock, alternative metal, and nu metal.

With the release of "Unkind Hours", the band inaugurates a more mature and intense stage of their trajectory. The album gathers ten tracks that explore themes such as obsession, desire, self-destruction, and transformation, betting on aggressive riffs, expressive vocals, elaborate structures, and a dark, cinematic atmosphere. Another striking detail is the visual identity of the work, built from photographs of the band themselves taken by photographer Ivan Shupikov, reinforcing the more human and visceral approach of this phase.

Allen Key will have the opportunity to present their sonic identity to an even larger audience at Bangers Open Air 2027, bringing to the festival the combination of heaviness, melody, and emotional intensity that characterizes their work.
