How many keys?

Matt said in an interview that during the ember album he didn't know how to write songs in different keys. So I was just wondering if someone already knows what songs are in different keys. I'd work it out but I'm a bit tired lol.

The end of everything - D Minor
Rain - D Phrygian
Pull harder - D Minor (Uses D Phrygian as well)
Drowned and torn asunder - D minor
Ascendancy - F # Minor
Gunshot to the head of trepidation - D Minor (borrows notes from the harmonic minor scale also)
Like light to flies - D Minor
DIYA - E Minor - Transposes to F# Minor in final chorus
The deceived - F# Minor
Suffocating sight - G minor - Transposes to A minor in final chorus
Departure - D Minor
Declaration - D Minor
Feel free to correct if there are mistakes

D phyrgian(Sorry if I mispelled that) Is one of the most common modes used in hardrock/metal music, It is also the 3rd mode of the scale degree.
It is spelt: 1 b2 b3 4 5 b6 b7
Great for riffs and stuff. The Black Dahlia Murder and Nile use this mode ALOT in there riffs and solos as well as the Harmonic Minor scale.
By the way, how did you figure all this out anyways?

Ive found the key of G sounds pretty good for some riffage.

I know this is kinda off topic because were in ascendancy but Tread The Floods is in G minor
So.. The key of G Is pretty fun to play around in.
My favorite is F# MInor myself.
