Episode 84: Matt Kozar (Brave/Stellar Death/Day of Departure)

Matt Kozar is a guitarist that I have loved for quite a while now.  As the guitarist for one of my favorite bands, Brave, Matt's style of guitar playing is a unique blend of various influences including post-rock, ambient, and straight up Heavy Metal.  Last year Matt and co-guitarist in Brave, Scott Loose, released Scott's Stellar Death project and now, with Matt at the captain's helm, we have been presented with Day of Departure, a Sci-Fi, thought provoking collection of songs that hit me in the hardest but best of ways.

Matt's an old friend so talking to him was just us having a regular conversation.  As always, prepare for me to derail shit and go off into other territories but it was a blast talking about everything from the music he is passionate about to his love of the Star Wars Holiday Special.  Yeah, we went there.
