History

Foundation and Victim of Yourself (2010–2015)

The band was founded in 2010 by guitarist Prika Amaral and the drummer Fernanda Terra, months later Karen Ramos joined the band as a second guitarist. A year and a half later, bassist Fernanda Lira joined while Karen Ramos left the band. Ramos lived far outside of São Paulo and was therefore rarely able to take part in band rehearsals. The remaining musicians, who had previously played in pure female bands, then decided to continue as a trio.[1]

In 2012 the band released the demo Time of Death and produced for the song Masked Betrayer a music video. Drummer Fernanda Terra left the band a short time later and was replaced by Pitchu Ferraz. In May 2012 the band was signed by the Austrian record label Napalm Records.[2] The band recorded their debut album in 2013, Victim of Yourself, produced by Heros Trench and Marcello Pompeu by Brazilian thrash metal band Korzus.

Agony and Downfall of Mankind (2016–2019)

The recordings for the second studio album started in January 2016 in the USA and it was produced by Brendan Duffey.[3]

In February 2018, the band recorded their third studio album Downfall of Mankind with producer Martin Furia, which was released on June 1, 2018. João Gordo from the band Ratos de Porão, Rodrigo Oliveira from the band Korzus and Michael Gilbert from the band Flotsam and Jetsam appear as guest musicians.[4]

Lineup change and Perpetual Chaos (2020–present)

In April 2020, bassist and vocalist Fernanda Lira and drummer Luana Dametto left Nervosa. Prika Amaral as the sole remaining original member found the musicians were replaced by vocalist Diva Satanica (Bloodhunter), bassist Mia Wallace (Abbath) and drummer Eleni Nota.[5] With this new lineup, Nervosa recorded their fourth studio album Perpetual Chaos, which was released on January 22, 2021.[6][7] Prika spoke about the international line-up which comprises now members from Brazil, Italy, Spain and Greece, as a logistic choice, saying that traveling questions and touring will work much better.
