After a festival summer with appearances at the legendary Wacken Open Air and Summer Breeze, among others, thrash metal act Nervosa has released “Elements of Sin,” the third single from its upcoming fifth full-length “Jailbreak.” The album will be out Friday, Sept. 29, via Napalm Records (pre-order here).
“Jailbreak” is the first Nervosa album to feature guitarist and founding member Prika Amaral on vocals and showcasing the band’s new lineup completed by Michaela Naydenova on drums, Hel Pyre on bass and Helena Kotina on guitars.
“’Elements of Sin’ was one of the first songs that me and Helena composed together,” Amaral said. “I remember when the riff from the chorus came at the end of 2021 and the lyrics of the chorus came together. We were so excited with this song that we also composed a few parts of the drums at that time. The process of composing of this album was very fun.”
“I’m very happy with the result of how our new album turned out,” Amaral said. “This time, we were able to take even more risks and do new things. With two guitars the doors open to a whole new world of possibilities, in fact Nervosa had two guitars in the beginning, but then we decided to go with one guitar for logistical reasons, since it would be easier to move with one less person for tours. Now Nervosa has a much bigger structure that allowed this addition, and we are really enjoying this moment of the band. The process of writing this record was the most fun and brought the most musicality, enriching the band.”
Kotina said: “I think ‘Jailbreak’ is Nervosa’s most revolutionary record, both musically and lyrically. It was a very challenging process but at the same time very constructive. We were able to take care of every detail until we obtained the best result.”
