Our newest single, "As Wide As Zen" is a celebration of spiritual searching and expresses the yearning for purpose expressed through the lens of cultural rootedness. The lyric video is your chance to go deeper with the song.

On Thursday we drop our first new single in two years! Pre-Save now to be the first to hear it. This will be one of the most truly unique songs we have ever done, and it features some significant musical surprises.

ALT A surreal image of a Japanese Geisha whose face has been replaced by a mysterious animal eye. The image contains the logo of the band KOZEN and the song title “As Wide As Zen” I’m both English and Japanese.
Our next Toronto show is coming up on April 20th. Supporting Visions of Morpheus alongside Ever Dream (a tribute to Nightwish). Really eager to re-explore the Prog side of our sound during this set. Tickets are moving so make sure you get yours soon!

KOZEN is simply failed music.
It sounds like a child scribbling all over the page. Formless, meaningless, and unpleasant. Just a bunch of random noise that people trick themselves into liking, while they become numb to true musical quality in the process.
Going back in time and trying to get lyric videos done for some of our older material. "Shadow Ocean Stagnant" is one of our classic and foundational tracks. Lots of great slap bass parts in this one. 😎

For however much controversy this band attracted, the one thing that seems to be almost universally uncontroversial is that their breakdowns went unreasonably hard.
One year ago we dropped Backpedal - our most conventionally “metalcore” but sneakily funky song we’ve ever done. It’s the most recent “heavy” song we’ve done. Can’t wait to deliver some more like this.
