KeeN are influenced by several industrial metal bands like Marilyn Manson (whose tour "Against all Gods tour" was opened by KeeN in 2005), Rammstein and Kovenant, but the KeeN sound is a personal mix of melodies, aggressiveness, involving rhythms and electronic samplings; a result of the union of the different musical skills and interests of each member of the band.
