MIAVA is a Belgian four piece instrumental band. MIAVA was formed in the fall of 2009. Due to boredom in other bands, MIAVA started jamming with no further plans. The first result was an instrumental rage of stoner-rock. MIAVA recorded their first EP in the spring of 2010 at the 195 studios in Breda (nl). The self titled EP contains 5 tracks and was released in direct management. The first EP is quite basic and impulsive.    After a lot of gigs they started writing for a new EP, this time MIAVA used a lot more influences in their music. The sound was evolving to a more instrumental post-metal/stoner mix. Clenched adrenaline and haunting riffs are a constant through all numbers and ensure a dose of extremely serious threat. Controlled euphoria goes into the layered song structures with regularity of the clock in nervous, almost claustrophobic dark passages. In January 2011 MIAVA started recording their 2nd EP at the CCR studios in Zulte (be). ‘The Fall of Public Man’ was released in August 2011 under the local lable ‘dice industries’. Later on ‘The fall of Public Man’ was released on vinyl by Music Mania Records (Ghent).    After the release of ‘The fall of public man’ it went fast for Maria isn’t a virgin anymore, a lot of cool reviews were written and they could count on a lot of media-attention. MIAVA played support for a lot of cool bands like: Channel Zero, Steak Number Eight, Karma To Burn, Maybeshewill, Priestess, Red Fang…    MIAVA is planning to release a full-length album in winter 2012…
