Metal heroines Nervosa are back with a new devastating opus! Entitled Slave Machine, the sixth record in the band’s career shows the Brazil-based modern thrash metal band releasing their inner beasts at staggering speed and with formidable emphasis. With founding guitarist Prika Amaral now established as their new singer with their previous record, Jailbreak (2023), Nervosa are ready to tear through the scene with the force of a sledgehammer. Once again working with producer Martin Furia of German legends Destruction, the women bridge the gap between old-school power and critical modernity. Slave Machine adds twelve fiery songs to Nervosa’s repertoire, including the fiery title-track, which you can listen to below this article. The song serves as a perfect first harbinger of the fury the Brazilian group is about to unleash on the world: instantly turning up the speed and showing a slightly different side of the thrash band with a catchy alternative bridge, the crushing track kicks off a new era for the band. About the single, the band comments, “This song is everything that we want to say and play, many different vocal layers and guitar melodies like a scream to say that we are all part of the ‘Slave Machine’”. Nervosa erupts as a metal volcano with their latest record. Never settling, always exploring, one staggering riff after another, Slave Machine is a crushing statement—it comes, sees, and conquers. O the record, the band states, “Slave Machine is the most brutal and melodic album of NERVOSA, and we are proud to take this step further, keeping our roots.”
Slave Machine will be released on April 3rd via Napalm Records. Pre-orders are now available here.
