Nervosa are charging into a fierce new era. The Brazilian thrash heroines have unleashed “Ghost Notes,” a new single from their album ‘Slave Machine,’ out now via Napalm Records.
The track lets loose a storm of heavy, easily recognizable riffs, driven by impelling drums and the ever-furious vocals of Prika Amaral, before culminating in a powerful guitar solo. It’s another side of the versatile band. “Strong and heavy riffs with a lot of groove showing deep feelings in a very poetic way, this song is definitely special in many ways,” the band say.
‘Slave Machine’ is the band’s sixth album and their second with Amaral, founding guitarist turned frontwoman, established as singer following 2023’s ‘Jailbreak.’ Once again working with producer Martin Furia of German legends Destruction, the women bridge old-school power and critical modernity across 12 crushing tracks. Having performed at the biggest metal festivals worldwide, from Wacken to Hellfest, Nervosa aim to cement their standing as genre frontrunners. “Slave Machine is the most brutal and melodic album of NERVOSA, and we are proud to take this step further, keeping our roots,” they say. From the menacing build of opener “Impending Doom” to the anthemic “You Are Not A Hero” and the sinister closer “Speak In Fire,” it’s a record that comes, sees, and conquers.
