Around the Baroque era, tonality went from modal to major and minor. The key signature was born out of the rigid sequence of tones and semitones in major and minor scales.
There are several types: Tonal (In a key): This can be a major or minor key. Modal (In a mode) Atonal: No key, no tonic note. There are various other more complex types like twelve tonality, whole tonality and polytonality, but these are the main three types.
The original content in Back in Time is basically two chords: C and F, the tonic and subdominant of C major. The sampled vocal from Mickey & Sylvia's "Love is Strange" adds the dominant, G. The sampled guitar lick outlines a C minor chord.
Tonal range is the various shades of grey between absolute black and absolute white
Tonality may refer to major/minor or overall mood, in either case it's mostly minor and hopeful/angry as seen in the lyrics : "With all that I am, I will lift my voice, To start this Revolution" Sources: University music student and Killswitch fan
The system of tonality was not invented, so they used modes. Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian...
