Maruta was concieved in late 2005. After being in several south floridian grindcore and metal acts, founding members Mitchell Luna and Nick Augusto had the intentions of starting an abrasive grind/powerviolence band.
Maruta
then managed to pump out half a dozen songs and immediatey began playing
shows only a mere two weeks later in the Dade/Broward county area.
A 4 song demo was released shortly thereafter. 420 copies were sold/traded/given away. Less than a year into existance, the band teamed up with guitar player Eduardo Rotten. Without hesitation, Maruta continued to write more material and play several out of town shows/tours. This eventually landed them a 2 album record deal with Willowtip, which is a label that happens to represent the same ideals and "foward thinking"
mentatlity that Maruta has in regards to their approach to songwriting and overall taste. Needless to say, the boys felt right at home when the deal went through, and plan to tour consistently in 2008 after the release of the bands debut full length "In Narcosis".
To sum it all up, this group is basically three humble individuals simply doing what they love to do best: playing some fucking grind. We live it.
We
breathe it.
