Bio
Redefining the shape of new music, Ministry of Zen takes their cues from decades of great hard rock music while infusing modern radio rock influences to produce something undeniably fresh. This dynamic project writes nothing but guitar-driven, melodic songs that get fans singing along even when they don't know the words. The Band's "real rock" sound is enhanced with clever harmonies, and is rife with both vocal and instrumental hooks. Ministry of Zen is a band that cannot be ignored. Lead by the powerful and range-less vocals of front man Doug Robb (recognized as being among Canada's premier vocalists) song lyrics tell real life stories that resonate strongly with rock music lovers. Add to that a rock solid rhythm section (Grady Baker and Joe Few) and a guitar punch in the chops like no other (Bob Howse) and it's easy to see why their fans believe they have the "it" factor. Committed to capturing their live sound with their recorded product, Ministry of Zen entered Mole Studios in the Fall of 2007 and engaged the visionary mind of Producer/Engineer Rainer Weichman. Some 6 months later, MOZ emerged with the results they had been hoping for. Their debut album "Unanalyzed" was complete. Said Robb "We went into this whole process wanting to capture our live sound and we are extremely pleased with what we got. So many bands today use fill in musicians, samples and other gimmicks that leave fans disappointed when the live music doesn't come close and we just aren't about that". What you hear and what you see is exactly what you get with Ministry of Zen; inspired music you can really rock out to. Ministry of Zen is now on a collision course with destiny as they bring their MASSIVE LIVE SHOW to ever further reaching markets. After touring the country multiple times, having a Canada wide radio release and various high profile showcases the band's fans know they can be counted on to deliver anywhere they go, for however many fans are there, in whatever type of venue you can throw at them. Fans first. Always. All booking/promotion and any other inquiries regarding Ministry of Zen should be directed to: .... The Next Level Entertainment .. Kristen Cholak Kristen@tnlec.com..
