MARAZINE WAS STARTED BY SHAWN MARAZINE IN 1998
Marazine, though, hasnt been quite so unwavering in its style. In the few years that the band has been around, Marazine has tightened its sound and better fused a range of influences that runs the rock spectrum of techno, metal, glam, prog and punk. Marazine captured the spirit of the latest incarnation on As the Pitch Maintains, a five-song (plus two short instrumental segues) EP. The bands gloom fully blossoms on the opening track, Theres No Tomorrow. Better Place glows with future-shock aura. The title track and Take a Step nicely combine the trios many interests, popping a metallic guitar lick here, laying down a glam-style psychedelic vocal melody there, and so on.
In 2006 Shawn was asked to play bass & keys for the band the
Evacuation Plan. A project created and written by Piggy D from Rob
Zombie, Wednesday 13 & Amen. It Also including Dave Pino from
Waltham, Damone & Seemles on lead guitar & Joe Letz
from Amen, Genitorturers & Combichrist on Drums.

CD Review for Nomasonha September issue 2005
2005 7 songs reviewed by Jennifer K. Faucher
I had the amazingluck of catching Marazine play in a cool-ass little club
called The Crypt.Maybe it was the full moon, but the combination of music
and environmentwas nothing less than amazing. I had to review this cd.
I’ve been kicked inthe ass by more than one cd that has not lived up to
the live show; but inMarazine’s As The Pitch Maintains I was not one bit
disappointed. Likedriving rhythm? Like otherworldly guitar playing? Like
archaic samplesthat sound like your dead great-great grandmother calling
you on a victrola?Yeah, this is for you. I could listen to this cd all day; and I have.
The songsare simultaneously melodic and heavy. There’s a sense of early
90s industrialin the programming and mid 70s Bowie (who gets a nod with the
final track"Bob and the Spiderz From Marz") permeates the entire album
