Aeon Zen are a progressive metal band formed in 2008, led by founding member Rich Hinks. To date, they have been praised and heavily featured in the international music press, labelled by Classic Rock Magazine as 'a strong contender for best newcomer at the very, very least' and, additionally, as Progression Magazine’s selection for "debut album of the year".
To date, the band has released three studio albums, and have assembled a line-up for live performances. Their first and second albums, entitled A Mind's Portrait and The Face of the Unknown respectively, were released through Time Divide Records on 1 May 2009 and 12 October 2010. These were followed by Enigma, released through Nightmare Records on 22 January 2013, and "Ephemera", released on 1 September 2014.
Aeon Zen was founded in 2008 when Rich Hinks and Lloyd Musto decided to form a new studio project. Unlike their previous bands, such as Timefall, which had a one-to-one correlation of members and instruments, Aeon Zen consisted of just the two members, with Musto playing drums and Hinks on all other instruments and production. Vocal duties were, on their debut album, shared amongst guests. According to the band, the name Aeon Zen was chosen to portray an "eternal state of bliss and enlightenment", although the use of Aeon as an adjective is a non-standard construction.
The word aeon /ˈiːɒn/, also spelled eon and æon (in American English), originally meant "life", "vital force" or "being", "generation" or "a period of time", though it tended to be translated as "age" in the sense of "ages", "forever", "timeless" or "for eternity". It is a Latin transliteration from the koine Greek word ὁ αἰών (ho aion), from the archaic αἰϝών (aiwon). In Homer it typically refers to life or lifespan. Its latest meaning is more or less similar to the Sanskrit word kalpa and Hebrew word olam. A cognate Latin word aevum or aeuum (cf. αἰϝών) for "age" is present in words such as longevity and mediaeval.
Although the term aeon may be used in reference to a period of a billion years (especially in geology, cosmology or astronomy), its more common usage is for any long, indefinite, period. Aeon can also refer to the four aeons on the Geologic Time Scale that make up the Earth's history, the Hadean, Archean, Proterozoic, and the current aeon Phanerozoic.
The face forms a part of the human body: the front of the head.
Face may also refer to:

Miller still holds the spot of the youngest person to hit #1 on the Billboard 200, a record that was previously held by music icon Michael Jackson.

A soul trapped in a new world, Rebuilt from where it went wrong. Mechanised, dehumanised, That’s the way our world will become strong. We can find answers in our subconscious minds, No one knows what there was or when. How can’t this be intelligent design? Can we still call ourselves human? Alive or dreaming? A new awakening. Machines surround me. Drifting through air that is no more, Can I win this war? I knew what it had meant to be alive, Before this mechan...

Lyrics: A boy stood before us years ago and saw faces in the Ocean. Picture yourself within the picture, when the sea rose Up to meet him. The trees are calling him, you can almost hear their Bark, as the face in the water smiles and towers above. You feel the strength built up through the ages, and You can tell by its weight, it's been waiting too long. I can't find, all the pieces that lay here broken from My mind. I'm facing the face of the unknown. i can't know. You search for truth in the flood, drops falling from the Sky bringing peace th...

From The Face of the Unknown album by British progressive metal group Aeon Zen. Lyrics: She tries and tries to reach the land of no tomorrow, But journeys on to see nothing in this darkness. She must try and find the light. Time will go on, as the world keeps turning. You're standing still but your eves see visions. She cannot help but think there's nothing left inside her. And though she wants to sing, the song in her is gone. She's seeing nothing inside her head. There's nothing here now, nothing anymore. Time will go on, as the world keeps turning. You're standing still but your eves see visions. In your mind Look to the skies, you will find peace of mind in her eyes. She's blind, unseeing visions intertwined. Time will go on, as the world keeps turning. You're standing still but ...

This collaboration video is to help raise awareness for Rich's band Aeon Zen since their Google Adsense had unjustly disabled their ads for "invalid click activity", which is something that happens to a lot of Youtubers whether they be solely content creators or entertainers trying to make it in their own field whether music, comedy, or anything else they wanna do. This is NOT to say that these accounts and these career paths are chosen without the love of the craft. However, to take something away from someone unjustly is wrong not only for business reasons but for moral ones as well. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy this video with Rich that I did as well as looking forward to doing more with him in the near future as well as seeing all the material he has to offer on his new channel.

Left behind in another life,
light has brought the truth back from the shadows.
No time to waste while the whispers swell,
as the past and the present realign.
Moments fade into one last breath.
Shown the truth of:
Time divine, from gilded eyes,
see the power of the hands of time.
Does hope and faith give meaning
to the actions of one man?
From the edge of thought a call came forth,
as the shadows of the past come back to haunt.
Yet the paradox conforms all life,
as the past and the future fade away.
Shown the light of:
Time divine, from gilded eyes,
see the power of the hands of time.
Does hope and faith give meaning
to the actions of one man?
There are others like you, you are not alone.
In your darkest hour, even gods can die.
Watch as the generations rip apart.
(See) the masters' hand at work, the paradox is now complete now.
(Fight) if you want to live, realise the truth within the
(Light), out of sight, out of mind, out of time.
Time divine, from gilded eyes,
see the power of the hands of time.
Does hope and faith give meaning
to the actions of one man?
With the balance restored, now I am alone.
In my darkest hour, even gods will fail.
