A lament and a reckoning – MARIDIA contemplates the genocide in Gaza “Tumulus”

Three months ago, we covered Maridia’s single I Am A Whisper, a stark meditation on isolation and human fragility. Now, the Stockholm-based grim post-hardcore band returns with Tumulus, a track that burns with raw grief and anger, rooted in vocalist Alex Campbell-Marshall’s response to the ongoing genocide in Gaza. “This one wasn’t written—it unfolded,” Alex says. “During the first few months of online-witnessing what was happening, I was desperately writing at nights as a way to process.” The lyrics move between sorrow and indictment, refusing to let violence become just another historical footnote. Judgement was not yours to pass on
