OUR ALBUM "BETA EARTH" http://starzsociety.bandcamp.com/album/beta-earth

Beta Earth was birthed out of another concept album Anger Nation. Advertising Puppets, Smoke N Mirrors, Rudeboy CoVe, Gospel of the Faithless all come from Anger Nation demo sessions. Thee concept behind Anger Nation was living in a world tearing itself apart with confusion. Great concept, but we wanted to go further beyond that story. We were just skimming the surfaces, like everyone else. We wanted to rattle the bones of the old ideas that kept us thinking like everyone else. If we could do that, we could change ourselves. When people decided to change themselves, everything around them follows suit.
All of the pre-production for this album was done with the principles not even in the same place. Eugene Dyer was in the Northern California, I was in Southern California. At the time, I was considering joining the film department at Los Angeles Community College (where I was taking classes). My time as a student, however, was coming to an end.
It started with a call from Eugene Dyer III outside of LACC. By this time, both of us were heavy into metaphysics and space. This is the way to the future, we thought; then Eugene Dyer III came up with an idea from which all other ideas would flow. “Beta Earth: Last Century Software”.
Detailing humanity’s struggle to evolve seemed to the best first album concept ever. A perfect way for us to document our struggles while at the same time connecting it to world events and the emotions that I thought were so singular to us, but in actuality was the feeling of an entire underground.
I wanted to make an album detailing revolution, the symptoms, what it brings, the emotions and the sadness. I wanted destruction magnified; I’d come to a point in my life where everything I had once loved was gone, everything I once knew was a lie. This is not a political album, at best it is a portrait of a post 9/11 world. At its worst, the lyrics follow my mental breakdown.
When I made my way to back to the bay area to get recording underway, I remember the sessions starting out so slow. I couldn’t sing and we only had two guys and software giving us problems at every corner. Hardrives failed, programs were overloaded with data, the two guitars we were using weren’t up to the recording process (I had to borrow a guitar just to get my guitar tracks done). Dirt poor, barely surviving, scarping the pits of our souls for anything we could use: that’s how we recorded “Beta Earth”.
Two guys made this record, with a little help from our friends. I think if any other two guys were given this task, to make an album for nothing, with nothing, out of nothing those two guys would have folded under the pressure; but us two guys were already on a crash course to make this album and nothing could stop that. So now that you have the album “Beta Earth” and this testimony, Starz Society only has one request of you now…”Step into our tragic solstice, my welcomed friend or my opponent…”
