MARUTA
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. 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.
