Just saw this, was last month. Man, saddened by this...

Keith went to Perry Hall Senior High. I was there for 9th grade and transferred to another school for 10-12, so we did not share a hallway, but was a fellow Perry Hall, MD metal guy. Sure he was at some of our house parties and of course, saw him with Mystic-Force many times around the Baltimore area.


> Keith Menser, bassist in Mystic Force, Twilight Kingdom, Images Of Eden, Iced Earth, among other bands, has passed away. Our condolences to his friends and family, may he rest in peace.
> The band comments: ''Mystic Force is deeply saddened to confirm the unexpected passing of Keith Menser on September 6, 2022. Funeral/Memorial arrangements are currently underway by his family and will be shared when available. Thanks for your love and support.''

Very cool dedication show to Keith from 97Underground Baltimore (the station where I discovered Mystic Force back in the day).

You can download the mp3 if you want to add it to a portable player.
