Ozai is an EP that reintroduces some of their older work to the world in a re-recorded, mixed, and mastered package. They tell me all about rebuilding that EP from the ground up, and how they've changed over the years from the original release. We discuss them meeting Dream Theater, playing at ProgPower, harsh vocals, hidden references, and the future of touring and their next release!</p><p><br /></p><p>Follow Nospūn!</p><p><a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/NospunOfficial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"ugc noopener noreferrer\">https://www.facebook.com/NospunOfficial</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/nospun_official\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"ugc noopener noreferrer\">https://www.instagram.com/nospun_official</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Listen to Opus!</p><p><a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/album/0fKncaxQqzmZHCNVtKPKOz?si=WWep3iijTkKiEqh5SzyWaA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"ugc noopener noreferrer\">https://open.spotify.com/album/0fKncaxQqzmZHCNVtKPKOz?si=WWep3iijTkKiEqh5SzyWaA</a></p><p>Listen to Ozai, new and original versions!</p><p><a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/album/7aoxabLnQs2iORO40s7rf5?si=xxzedoZMQxyfijR8I_RNtQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"ugc noopener noreferrer\">https://open.spotify.com/album/7aoxabLnQs2iORO40s7rf5?si=xxzedoZMQxyfijR8I_RNtQ</a></p><p><a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/album/3n13wGC3h9vG8T0E2AcURP?si=zzTRBnq5QgW-axlrhycQ2w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"ugc noopener noreferrer\">https://open.spotify.com/album/3n13wGC3h9vG8T0E2AcURP?si=zzTRBnq5QgW-axlrhycQ2w</a></p><p>Listen to Cole and Michael on our previous episode of Michael's Mixdown!</p><p><a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/episode/0VUqYNw92IYtznbjLgxO2b?si=pIO0X5CFQ0ybPB9aC7uBsg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"ugc noopener noreferrer\">https://open.spotify.com/episode/0VUqYNw92IYtznbjLgxO2b?si=pIO0X5CFQ0ybPB9aC7uBsg</a></p><p>Follow me!</p><p><a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/michaelsmixdown\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"ugc noopener noreferrer\">https://www.facebook.com/michaelsmixdown</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/michaelsmixdown/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"ugc noopener noreferrer\">https://www.instagram.com/michaelsmixdown/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Ozai and Opus created and owned by Nospūn, a progressive metal band hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina.
