NERVOSA - Slave Machine Tour 2027
NERVOSA
Prika Amaral formed the band in February 2010 together with Fernanda Terra (the first drummer). The band began gaining notoriety in March 2012, when they released their first music video, “Masked Betrayer,” which reached the incredible mark — especially for a new band — of 20,000 views in just one week. This earned them an Honorable Mention from YouTube as the 17th most watched musicians’ video of the week and the 55th most-watched of the month of March that year. Shortly after, they independently released a 3-song demo.
In the following months, NERVOSA achieved a major milestone: signing with the Austrian label Napalm Records, one of the world’s biggest record labels specializing in rock and metal.
In March 2014, the band released their first full-length album, titled Victim of Yourself. The strong reception of the album was essential for the band to leave Brazil for the first time and begin touring across Latin America and Europe, where they also performed at some of Europe’s biggest summer festivals, such as Summer Breeze, Brutal Assault, MetalDays, Obscene Extreme, among others.
In 2016, the band recorded their new album, titled Agony. Recorded and produced in California and Oregon, United States, by Brendan Duffey, and mixed and mastered by thrash metal master Andy Classen, the album had its worldwide release announced for June 3rd.
In June 2018, the band released their third album, Downfall of Mankind, through Napalm Records, and embarked on several tours across Europe, Latin America, and Asia. The album was critically acclaimed, and in 2019, they performed at Rock in Rio for more than 70,000 people
In 2020, during the pandemic, the band released the single Guided By Evil in October of that year, and the new album Perpetual Chaos was released in January 2021, reaching top positions on music charts in several countries. That same year, the album was highly praised by the press and appeared in multiple rankings as the best album of the year, among other categories.
2023 began with a major change, with the announcement of Prika Amaral taking over lead vocals, along with the addition of a second guitarist, Greek musician Helena Kotina.
That same year, the band released the album Jailbreak, which marked a new era for the band and was very well received by both fans and critics, who described it as the band’s best phase.
With 15 tours around the world, Jailbreak became the only album to reach live performances across 6 continents: North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania.
The year 2026 began with the release of the album Slave Machine, which is already being considered the best album of the band’s career.
The band is currently preparing to begin their world tour, which will start in Latin America, beginning in Brazil, to promote the new album. This new era has already started with a major announcement: the band will perform for the second time on the Sunset Stage at Rock in Rio.
Nervosa is considered an important reference in the global thrash metal scene, known for countless tours, shows, and festivals alongside major names in metal, making their mark and representing women and Brazil around the world.
CASTRATOR
Castrator is an all-female old-school death metal band formed in New York City in 2013. Originally structured as an international project with musicians spanning multiple countries, the group has solidified into a United States-based lineup. The band is signed to Dark Descent Records and channels raw sonic brutality to explore themes of feminism, historical atrocities, and societal injustices against women.
ANGER WITHIN
Anger Within is an aggressive heavy thrash, crossover, and death metal band from Atlanta, Georgia. Formed originally in 1991, the band establishes a unique sound by fusing fast thrash riffs, hardcore punk energy, and brutal, death-like vocals. The group utilizes a "kitchen sink" approach to heavy music, integrating diverse sonic shifts and rhythmic structures into a modern thrash framework. Their lyrics and thematic content regularly focus on complex human issues, political corruption, injustice, and historical narratives.
