The Norwegian group Sonic Debris were formed in 1995, and their first album, ‘Velvet Thorns’ was released on the Dutch label DVS Records in 2000. After having played gigs in Norway, Sweden and Holland, including ProgPower-festival, the band decided to take a break to focus on other projects.
The band reunited in 2007 with two new band members; Jan Roger Sletta (ex-Surferosa) and Daniel Marken (Dunderbeist). The band soon started working on music for the ‘Velvet Thorns’ successor. Over the course of 2008 10 new tracks were recorded at Hamar Recordings, and later mixed at Room 13 by Alex Møklebust (Seigmen/Zeromancer).
Sonic Debris’ music has been labelled electro-hard rock, and some of the inspirational sources for the band members are NIN, Marillion, Missing Persons, Depeche Mode, Queensrÿche and others.
