MISS LAVA: Lisbon Riff-Riders Premiere "In The Arms Of The Freaks" Video At Revolver; Small Stone-Bound Sonic Debris Full-Length Out This May
Next month, Small Stone will release Sonic Debris from Portugal riff rockers, MISS LAVA.
A true sonic voyage with a diversity beyond anything yet evidenced by the band, Sonic Debris explores new auditory landscapes and an open and inclusive creative process. Throughout the record's ten consuming movements, MISS LAVA manifests explosive sound textures, kaleidoscopic asteroids, and obscure beasts making for an all-consuming listen that's difficult to overlook.
In advance of its release today Revolver Magazine premieres the band's tripnotic visual accompaniment to first single, "In
The Arms Of The Freaks." "We used the inspiration that the song gave us
and tried to make a psychedelic trip. It starts simple and then becomes
more colorful and destructive," explains Bogdan Dumitriu of Perfectly
Random Studios.
"This
song deals with fighting your own personal freak show," adds vocalist
Johnny Lee. "Staging and dealing with your own aberrations can be a
messy trip most of the times."

Sonic Debris will be released May 20th and come available on CD and 180-gram light blue vinyl limited to 500 units. For preorders go to THIS LOCATION where you'll also hear a stream of opening track "Another Beast Is Born."
Sonic Debris
was captured at Pentagon Audio Manufacturers, JDB Showroom and Estúdio
Crossover in Lisbon at various times throughout 2014 and 2015, produced
by Fernando Matias and MISS LAVA, engineered by Matias, José
Pedro Ataíde and Ricardo Bravo, mixed by Benny Grotto at Mad Oak Studios
in Boston, Massachusetts, and mastered by Chris Goosman at Baseline
Audio Labs in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Sonic Debris follows 2013's Red Supergiant and 2009's Blues For The Dangerous Miles, which was listed among Loud Magazine's Top Five Portuguese albums of that year, and 2008's limited edition, self-titled EP.
"With
this album we left the door of our spacecraft wide open... this is a
trippy ride with lots of headbanging going on," comments guitarist K.
Raffah. "We feel this is our best journey so far," adds Lee. "It
explores a sonic galaxy somewhere between Monster Magnet's Dopes To Infinity and Corrosion Of Conformity's Deliverance."

Germany and played slots at festivals like Stoned From The Underground
