UNISONIC released its debut EP, Ignition earlier this year. After the addition of Hansen to the group's lineup in early 2011, UNISONIC continued the songwriting process for its debut release, incorporating Kai's talent for writing great anthemic rock songs into its existing material. Hardly Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part 3, the UNISONIC collective effortlessly fuse the many sides of heavy music they know and love. The band's music is versatile and takes a broad approach to heavy rock without sacrificing the power and strong, catchy melodies that characterized the band members' previous projects.
