Never turn away
You can break the barricade
Finding life, alive again
Terror stands between you
And the place you want to be
Looming dark, consuming everything
The pain you know you must endure
Is all your eyes can see
All your dreams demanding you to bleed
The barricade, it blocks the way
There is no way around
It’s driving you like death, into the ground
Never turn away
You can break the barricade
Finding life, alive again
Now, become life
As you rise on the enigma
We are all deranged inside
Waiting for our dead hearts to rise
But you can be brave
As your body breaks the barricade
Pay the price
‘Till your sacrifice is life
The barricade, it blocks the way
There is no way around
But now you’re driving death into the ground
Never turn away
You can break the barricade
Finding life, alive again
Break, break the barricade
Break, break the barricade
Break, break the barricade
(solo - Jericho Leal)
Never turn away
You can break the barricade
Finding life, alive again

AfterWake is one of the dopest up-and-coming prog bands in Toronto, and we've had the pleasure of sharing the stage with them. TIL is melodic, bouncy, groovy, and emotional in all the right ways. KOZEN
Polarity are veterans in the Toronto prog & rock scene and they've been like our older siblings - we've played with them more than any other band. Proggy, melodic, and powerful. KOZEN
Arrowheads are our brothers from Quebec. We toured with their old band We Throw Flowers back in 2017, and their new project delivers undeniable metalcore/post-hardcore greatness. KOZEN
A powerhouse of a record from the Michigan metalcore stalwarts, full of sinister, stadium-sized singalongs and unbridled emotion. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 31, 2022
The latest Djunah LP channels the duo's heavy, intensely cathartic sound to reflect on living with and healing from trauma. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 14, 2023
