In a new interview with Clubline Chicago Magazine, MARAZENE talk about touring with Megaforce recording artist MUSHROOMHEAD as well as musical influences, their thoughts on their music being considered 'dark', and more. An excerpt with bassist DieTrich Thrall and vocalist Nikk Skum follows:

CCC: You have toured with amazing metal rock bands who are with major labels. Tell us more about these experiences. What have you learned?

DieTrich Thrall: "The experience has been incredibly positive and we've come away from it better as individual musicians and better as a band as a whole. For the month of March 2007 we are hitting the entire United States with a National band called Mushroomhead that has been taking the country by storm with one of the most outrageous live shows ever attempted. They're one of the hottest tickets in the National Metal scene and we are flattered and floored that they have turned to us for support on the tour. We did a couple of tour dates with them in December 2006 and they seemed to empathize with the approach we took with the shows. We kept in contact and they believe we're ready for the next big step which is four intensive weeks on the road. It's an unbelievable opportunity and knowing that they thought of us first in regards to this tour after the years we've spent building our band locally and regionally definitely adds to the feeling we're heading in the right direction. That being said we have no plans on slowing down once the tour ends. We are already pursuing other options for April and beyond and we are constantly looking forward to the next big challenge for Marazene."

Nikk Skum: "All of the Major label and National/International artists we've done work with have been VERY cool and very supportive of the Marazene machine... We've learned alot from the situations on the road that no one would EVER think of as a possibility... 1st thing being that on the road, ur guys and crew are ur FAMILY... the heart, the brain, the muscle, and the soul... U are reliant on ur partners in order to make the magic happen... the brain would not work without the heart, the heart would not work without the brain... u can adlib with ANY combination of those elements to the same end..."
