KOZEN's 2022 in Review

What a wild and wonderful ride 2022 has been.

As we come down to the end of the year, I feel a distinct mix of feelings. On the one hand – I can't help but wish we had more time in the year to do more things. Working with band members spread across multiple cities has always presented logistical challenges, and while we have found ways to make it work, it often feels like there just isn't enough time to get the whole squad together.

Lyrics to A Fearful Wonder

A Fearful Wonder

1. With Open Eyes

There’s so much you won’t let go 
So gripped by the emptiness 
You won’t show it but I know 
You’ve sunken into distress 
All that you refuse to face 
Leaves you guarded and austere 
Hiding an arcane disgrace 
And living enslaved to fear

KOZEN

KOZEN is a band whose sound represents the diversity of their Toronto home town. The band plays a brand of heavy progressive rock that borrows extensively from metal, pop, R&B, funk, and electronica. The sound is a blend of warm, emotive vocals and astute songwriting skills, alongside unbridled shred guitar, smart jazz-inspired chord progressions, and a groovy rhythm section. The diversity of the band allows for everything from soft piano ballads to brutal screaming, and everything in between.
