Hello to everyone. Quick update here on what’s been happening..
Had my friend CHRIS EMERY (AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE) to lay down some drums. Managed to get 7 of the 14 BEAUTY IN THE SUFFERING songs we were aiming for. Very pleased we got that far. Was a pretty crazy session overall in terms of how many tracks we were shooting for. We just dove right in and got as many as we could before our ears threw in the towel.
PROVO PROVENZANO (EVERYBODY PANIC!, RIKETS, SKINLAB) was ace behind the board!
The picture is from about 10 hours into the 15 hour session. More pictures in the days ahead.
Very happy with everything overall. Can’t wait to get started on the rest of the tracking! Thanks as always for your support!
Going into the studio today with my friend CHRIS EMERY of AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE. Chris is going to lay the foundation on a dozen or so new tracks for BEAUTY IN THE SUFFERING.
PROVO PROVENZANO (EVERYBODY PANIC!) who used to play with the band RIKETS and SKINLAB is here too overseeing tracking. We’re going to be tracking at BELL LABS RECORDING out here in the OKC Metro. One of the best studios in the area and probably the best studio for what I’m trying to accomplish with BEAUTY IN THE SUFFERING.
Very excited to be working with some pretty talented guys on this new chapter of music! Should have pix and (hopefully) video soon! Super thanks to everyone so far on all the positive feedback!
CHICAGO, IL (DLSP) — MARAZENE producer, multi-instrumentalist, programmer, and vocalist DieTrich Thrall has launched a new Electro-Metal studio project, BEAUTY IN THE SUFFERING. The full statement posted on http://www.beautyinthesuffering.com/ follows:
“BEAUTY IN THE SUFFERING is an evolving concept I came up with years ago that best described a sense of optimism during some bright spots of an otherwise massive struggle against overwhelming odds.
Music I have been writing and expressing over the last several years has been uniquely intimate in reflecting those struggles and I am very excited about putting out some fresh ideas that represent the here and now.
BEAUTY IN THE SUFFERING deals with universal themes of love and loss, defeat and resolve, and struggle and triumph.
Everybody has moments where the road looks impossible to pass. But somehow, little by little we manage through our own inner strength and the purposeful placement of fate, chance, and karma. We emerge wiser and with a deeper understanding of ourselves and of our place in the world and the beauty we glean from the suffering we have endured can never be denied.
This is a journey I accepted long ago. I wear the scars of my personal triumph over my struggles with pride and I stand ready to face new challenges.
And, like the phoenix rising from the ashes, this is a new beginning. I thank you all for standing by my side during some very difficult years of active-inactivity. The future is wide open and full of nothing but payoff.”
DieTrich (pronounced Dee-Trick) is best known for his co-founding and co-visionary role in the industrial-metal band MARAZENE (later called MARAZENE MACHINE).
From managing the band during its most active and successful National touring years (2006-2008) with acts such as MUSHROOMHEAD, WEDNESDAY 13, DEADSTAR ASSEMBLY and PSYCLON NINE, to co-producing the bands critically hailed cover of MOTLEY CRUE‘s “LIVE WIRE” in 2011 as well as the bands lone official full length album (MachiNation, 2006), to writing fan favorite tracks such as “GIVE” (SkumF***erz), to guiding the bands philisophical and edgy lyrical approach (AnTiThesis, Infidel Society), to producing multiple videos for the band, DieTrich’s contributions and influence are heavily noted.

Howard Stern ended months of speculation Thursday morning and announced he’s signed a new five-year deal to stay with Sirius Satellite Radio.
Stern rocked the radio world in 2005 when he started at Sirius backed with a $500 million contract. His renewal announcement came with just a handful of regular shows left in his current deal.
Stern declined to discuss his salary, though he said earlier this week he wouldn’t take a pay cut.
Directed by MICHAEL BAY and set for release in 3D, 2D, and IMAX theaters on July 1st 2011, ‘TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON’ stars; Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Kevin Dunn, Julie White, Frances McDormand, John Malkovich, Ken Jeong, Patrick Dempsey, Alan Tudyk and John Turturro.
plot – Transformers: Dark of the Moon features Sam Witwicky (LaBeouf) taking his first tenuous steps into adulthood while remaining a reluctant human ally of Optimus Prime. The film centers around the space race between the U.S.S.R. and the USA, suggesting there was a hidden Transformers role in it all that remains one of the planet’s most dangerous secrets.
Cate Blanchett (‘Lord of The Rings’ trilogy, ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’) will reprise her role from ‘Lord of The Rings’ trilogy as Galadriel, the Lady of Lothlorien.
More info on Blanchett’s return including PETER JACKSON’s reaction as well as casting of key roles from the book can be found HERE.
Orlando Bloom will likely be the next original cast member set for an encore. He’s near a deal to return as Elven archer Legolas. And it’s for more than a cameo.

Two-time Academy Award winner Daniel Day-Lewis [THERE WILL BE BLOOD, GANGS OF NEW YORK, THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS] will star as the 16th President of the United States in DreamWorks Studios’ Lincoln to be directed by Steven Spielberg [JURASSIC PARK, SCHINDLER'S LIST, SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN].
‘LINCOLN’ will focus on the political collision of Lincoln and his cabinet over abolition and the end of the Civil War.
..based on the best-selling book, “TEAM OF RIVALS,” by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin.
“The main thing about Dredd is that it’s a fantastic comic that was completely messed up 20 years ago,” said Macdonald. “Our idea is to make a very hard, R-rated, gritty, realistic movie of Dredd in Megacity, so we’ve got to get the tone right. He’s not going to take off his helmet. His bike is going to feel real. He’s going to hit people and it’s going to feel real.”
Directed by JON FAVREAU (IRON MAN 1 & 2) and set for release on July 29, 2011, ‘COWBOYS AND ALIENS’ stars; Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell, Adam Beach, Paul Dano and Noah Ringer.
plot synopsis: 1873. Arizona Territory. A stranger (Craig) with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. The only hint to his history is a mysterious shackle that encircles one wrist. What he discovers is that the people of Absolution don’t welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Ford). It’s a town that lives in fear.
But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky. Screaming down with breathtaking velocity and blinding lights to abduct the helpless one by one, these monsters challenge everything the residents have ever known.
Now, the stranger they rejected is their only hope for salvation. As this gunslinger slowly starts to remember who he is and where he’s been, he realizes he holds a secret that could give the town a fighting chance against the alien force. With the help of the elusive traveler Ella (Wilde), he pulls together a posse comprised of former opponents—townsfolk, Dolarhyde and his boys, outlaws and Apache warriors—all in danger of annihilation. United against a common enemy, they will prepare for an epic showdown for survival.
