Metal heroines NERVOSA will release a new album, "Slave Machine", on April 3, 2026 via Napalm Records. The band's sixth album shows the Brazilian/Greek death/thrash metallers releasing their inner beasts at staggering speed and with formidable emphasis. Having performed at the biggest metal festivals worldwide, from Wacken Open Air to Hellfest, and making a lasting impression on fans and critics alike, NERVOSA aims to consolidate their standing as genre frontrunners. With founding guitarist Prika Amaral established as their new singer with their previous record, "Jailbreak" (2023),they 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 and is available for pre-order now.
Along with the album announcement, NERVOSA has released the "Slave Machine" title track, which serves as a perfect first harbinger of the fury the Brazilian/Greek 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 NERVOSA.

In a 2025 interview with Sunray, Prika stated about taking on the role of lead vocalist in NERVOSA: "I’m the only member that is in the band since the beginning. I wrote riffs, vocal lines, lyrics and many things since the beginning, so part of the identity of NERVOSA is on me. That is the way to keep the roots of NERVOSA, but I like to give space for new vision, ideas and possibilities, and this come from the new girls. I love the idea to connect different styles. It makes everything better, and this is a band.
"For me as a singer and guitar player, it was a very easy process because I was doing backing vocals, so switch[ing] to lead vocals was a job to create resistance and study different techniques to be a real singer. The hardest part for me was memorize the lyrics, 'cause my memory is not that good."
