◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ BAND BIOGRAPHY & INFORMATION ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊

Maruta was concieved in october 2005. After being in several south floridian grindcore and metal acts, founding member Mitchell Luna and Nick Augusto had the intentions of starting an abrasive grind/powerviolence band. They joined forces with guitar player Jeff Stevenson, managed to pump out half a dozen songs, and immediatey began playing shows up and down the long desolate state of Florida.

A 4 song demo was released shortly thereafter. Less than a year into the bands existence, Jeff left the fold, and the band teamed up with guitar player Eduardo Borja, who helped incorporate more dissonant and technical elements to the band's sound, and their approach to grindcore. Maruta did several DIY tours in 2006 and 2007, playing the foulest piss drenched basements, and the seediest bars North America has to offer. Needless to say, the boys had a good time and made some good friends.

In 2008, Maruta embarked on a full U.S. tour with Phobia, Impaled, Malignancy,Kill the client, and Illogicist. They also participated in the Relapse records "This comp kills facists" release with 2 exclusive songs. The band's first full length finally surfaced after many technical difficulties, and long inebriated angry nights in the studio. " IN NARCOSIS" was released October of 2008 via the infamous forward thinking metal label, Willowtip.

2009 came along, Maruta toured the U.S. midwest and east-coast alongside Rotten sound, Crowpath, and Misery Index (select dates) to coincide with their performance at Maryland Death Fest 7. The group returned home and began pumping out new material, but the line-up change curse struck, when drummer Nick Augusto decided to leave the band to pursue playing more commercial music.

in 2010, the band recruited Orlando locals Daniel Morris and Mauro Cordoba. With a new drummer, and the addition of a bass player for the first time, Maruta took a hiatus from playing live shows, and focused solely on getting their 2nd full length "FORWARD INTO REGRESSION" completed. It was recorded August of 2010 @ Mana Studios, by Brian Elliot, and featured a bit more death metal influence than the bands previous recordings.

2011 Maruta has a 4 and a half week European tour lined up alongside Wormrot, and well as several U.S. performances alongside Phobia and Gridlink in the pipeline.

Maruta is basically 4 humble individuals simply doing what they love to do best: playing some fucking grind. "We live it. We breathe it".

Unfortunately, the group announced their formal disbandment in November of 2011; along with the press release, they scheduled one final "goodbye" show in their home state of Florida, which ended up being in December 2011. Since then, the band has played several recent shows in 2012, so perhaps their future does hold more material. We'll see. And we can definitely hope!
