NERVOSA
Bio:
Nervosa was formed in 2010 by Prika Amaral and Fernanda Terra (drummer). Despite previously being part of bands with different styles, they found a shared passion in Nervosa's compositions: thrash metal with strong influences from bands in the classical school of this genre.
In 2012, due to the recognition gained from their hard work, NERVOSA achieved a significant milestone: a contract with the Austrian label Napalm Records. They released their debut work, a demo with three tracks, titled '2012' in Brazil, and 'Time Of Death' internationally.
In 2014, they released their first album, titled “Victim of Yourself”. The album was recorded at the legendary studio of Pompeu and Heros (both from the band Korzus). It was launched in March of the same year by Napalm Records in Europe and North America, and by other labels and distributors in South America, Japan, and Russia. Alongside the traditional CD format, four vinyl versions were released - in black, blue, red, and clear, distributed by Napalm Records and Nuclear Blast.
In 2016, the band recorded their second album, titled 'Agony', produced in California and Oregon, United States, by Brendan Duffey. The album was mixed and mastered by thrash master Andy Classen. The album's worldwide premiere was announced on June 3rd again by the Austrian label Napalm Records. In the same year, they embarked on an intense concert tour to promote their latest album, performing more than 160 concerts.
In June 2018, the band released their new album "Downfall of Mankind", produced by Martin Furia. They extensively toured Europe, Latin America, and Asia. The album received high praise from critics, and in 2019, Nervosa played at Rock in Rio in front of an audience of over 70 thousand people.
In 2020, the band underwent a lineup change and announced a new lineup. The following year, they released their most successful album to date, "Perpetual Chaos", also produced and mixed by Martin Furia. The album, released in January 2021, reached the top of the charts in many countries. It received critical acclaim, earning spots in various "best album of the year" rankings and other categories.
In 2023, the band underwent a transformation, adding another guitarist, Helena Kotina, a virtuoso Greek guitarist influenced by Classic Rock, Heavy Metal, and Thrash Metal. Prika Amaral assumed vocal duties and leadership of the band, injecting more aggression, diversity, and stability. In April of the same year, Nervosa released the video for “Endless Ambition”, featuring the current lineup, which was well-received by critics and fans. From May to August, the band performed at major festivals in Europe, such as Inferno Metal Fest in Norway, Resurrection in Spain, Copenhell in Denmark, Gefle Metal Fest in Sweden, Metal Days in Slovenia, Wacken in Germany, Vagos Metal Fest in Portugal, Rock Castle in the Czech Republic, and Summer Breeze in Germany, among others.
With the recent release of "Seed Of Death," the band demonstrated extraordinary growth, leaving fans eagerly anticipating their upcoming album, which promises to be the pinnacle of Nervosa's career. Titled “Jailbreak”, the album's release is scheduled for September 29th with global distribution.
Nervosa is considered a significant reference in the new generation of world metal, standing as one of the prominent female bands. Recognized as the Latin phenomenon, Nervosa's history showcases a remarkable example of overcoming challenges.
