Multi-Instrumentalist in Chicago borne MARAZENE. We play a style of music we call 'Conceptual / Mechanized / Machine / Metal'.

ME
I travel a lot. There's a Romance to it that I have become Addicted to. New friends, experiences, etc. I have met at least a thousand people from a silly little social networking site called MySpace in the city of Chicago, in the Midwest, on the road, and people who have visited from far off distant places that I have as yet only heard or read about
and
I look forward to meeting YOU
I'm about as accessible and approachable as the person next door so say 'High' if you spot me out and I will likely greet you as if we had been friends for years.
I get major busy with all sorts of things so I do get behind at times. I read all messages and comments and try to get back to everyone. It can be tricky.
In my eyes,
lifes typical daily dose of irony is inspiration made manifest. . .
Tragedy, Consequences, and "all that could've been. . ."
are all I see
in the World of Compromise that surrounds me. . .
Make NO mistake: MUSIC IS MY LIFE. . .
But without other interests and "MOMENTS" of self-experienced
BRILLIANCE I would have nothing to "sing" about. . .
I am "moved" by Everyday Existence and the Individuals swept away
in events much bigger than they could ever hope to control or
understand. . .
Fate, Chance, and Karma. . .
the Subtle Architects of Unwritten, Forgotten, and Unforgiven. . .
Past, Present, and Future. . .
I have empathy and understanding in abundance for the sad and lonely
but HOPEFUL planet I find myself a part of. . .
The world is PASSIONATE but DEADLY
and an ongoing TEST of just how far you are willing to go to get what
you want
and how you will be assessed for that very ambition. . .
what you essentially become. . .
Thus,
for as long as I am here,
I will strive for this so-called "perfection" in our so-called
"imperfect" world. . .
Odds are against me. . .
But fuck the "odds". . .

Excerpt from Fabryka Webzine with myself by Brian Backlash and NINa
Brian: Why do you frequently refer to yourselves as the 'SkumF***erz'?
DieTrich: "'SkumF***erz' comes from a track on the album. It means several different things depending on the context. In regards to the song it has to do with someone on the verge of giving up hope before they've acheived Self Actualization. If you listen closely you can hear in the intro track, "Prayer for the Pathetic/The Birth of Wrath", Psalm 143 from the Bible uttered over this crazy SoundScape. It's strangely appropriate to the track lyrically and I found it delectable that somewhere so long ago someone went through a similar, if different, form of struggle that brought them to where we are in the track 'SkumF***erz'.
Thousands of years separate us and still we face the same internal demons. We're not so different after all. SkumF***erz could be a metaphor for doing the things you need to do even when others around us don't agree with that stand. A tough son of a bitch who isn't afraid to get their hands dirty. The song touchs on indulgence via drugs, promiscuity, pride, and emotional withdrawal as well as more positive aspects such as survival and Self Actualization. It's a crucible on being comfortable with yourself and who you are even when you don't feel like you have every answer. You learn from mistakes. You learn from doing. These things make you stronger and to hell with anyone who says you can't be you."
