Maridia came together in the midst of the pandemic of 2020, but it's seeds were sown several years earlier between Chris (guitarist) and his sibling Alex (vocalist). Both grew up with a common interest in heavy music, playing separately in several bands and projects over the years, but never together. During the summer of 2020, Jonatan was recruited on bass and Patrik on drums. They completed their lineup in February 2022 when Adrian became their second guitarist.

With the help from sound engineer William Blackmon (Gadget), Maridia came together for a week of intense but very creative studio sessions in late November 2022 at The Overlook Studio in Gävle, Sweden. Their debut album "Mouth of Ruin" was recorded, and subsequently released digitally on May 19, 2023.

Defining themselves as post-hardcore. Maridia draws heavily on it's members diverse preferences and experiences. Band members have previously played a wide range of genres, from post-rock and black metal to crust/d-beat and deathcore. The band aims to avoid limiting themselves to locked genres and instead hopes to create something unique and fresh by blending their scattered influences in a very crowded metal scene.

The band name is taken from a dark and unforgiving underwater location in the old platform game called Super Metroid (1994).
