Sonic Debris

Album US 2016 on Small Stone Records label
Rock (Hard Rock, Doom Metal, Psychedelic Rock, Stoner Rock)

Portugal’s foremost heavy rock and rollers Miss Lava return in 2016 with Sonic Debris, their third album, to be launched on May 20th, 2016 worldwide through Small Stone Records. Sonic Debris witnesses the band exploring new sonic landscapes and an open and inclusive creative process. Throughout, they design explosive sound textures, get high on psychedelic asteroids and unleash obscure beasts. The album is a sonic voyage with a diversity beyond anything yet evidenced by the band. The new album follows Red Supergiant (2013) and Blues for the Dangerous Miles (2009) – named by Loud Magazine as one of the top five Portuguese albums of the year – and a limited edition self-titled blood red vinyl EP (2008). Miss Lava has brought their explosive presence to stages in the UK, Spain and Germany and played slots at festivals like Stoned from the Underground (Germany), Stonefest (Spain), as well as Super Bock Super Rock, Rock in Rio Lisboa (Vodafone Stage), Reverence Valada, Vagos Open Air, Barroselas Metal Fest and Faro Bike Meeting in their home country. In addition to having traveled to play an exclusive one-off at the legendary Whisky a Go-Go in Los Angeles, the band has shared stages with Queens of the Stone Age, Metallica, Mastodon, Slash & Friends, Graveyard, Ufomammut, Greenleaf, W.A.S.P., Kyuss Lives!, Fu Manchu, Valient Thorr, Entombed, Meshuggah, Truckfighters, Barn Burners and Year Long Disaster.
