I could never tolerate a woman shouting at me - even in this context. female metalheads should only be allowed to dress sexy and play the drums. Maybe the bass as well, since it's a gay instrument. Anything more and they risk looking like bull-dykes.

Women don't belong in metal, not on stage not in front of one. Very unattractive female behavior and batshit crazy most of them

Precisely.

I just cannot take seriously females in heavy metal. (Two exceptions: Doro and Anneke in old The Gathering.)

Metal is a decidedly masculine musical style and aesthetic.

Plus, they almost always look ridiculous, no matter what they’re doing in a band.

P.S. I’ve known of the group for years, yes.

Title: Re: For Fortress and other Metalheads
Post by: obsidian on March 18, 2023, 01:44:00 PM: Looks like one of the founders, Prika Amaral, has been the only constant member.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nervosa_(band)

https://www.guitarworld.com/features/how-brazilian-guitarist-prika-amaral-rebuilt-her-nervosa-thrash-metal-juggernaut-from-the-ground-up

How Brazilian guitarist Prika Amaral rebuilt her Nervosa thrash-metal juggernaut from the ground up

New blood and aggressive riffs put Amaral back on the path to ‘Perpetual Chaos‘

(https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/sQrY8Q68X76c88qF4KMM6K-1200-80.jpg.webp)

Despite the damned worldview poking through Nervosa’s new Perpetual Chaos, founding guitarist Prika Amaral is at least finding herself in good company as the world burns around her.

But while this fourth full-length builds off the savage thrash dynamics the outfit have been delivering since forming in 2010, a major lineup shift at the start of 2020 forced the Sao Paolo, Brazil-based Amaral to rebuild the band from the ground up.

“I started to make a list of my favorite musicians when the other girls left the band; Eleni [Nota, drums], Diva [Satanica, vocals] and Mia [Wallace, bass] were at the top,” the guitarist reveals, adding how she’d first run into Satanica in Spain when the vocalist’s Bloodhunter project opened for Nervosa.

Wallace had previously held a high-profile spot as the bassist for Abbath, while Amaral discovered Nota’s whip-cracking drum style through social media. After the foursome hit a rehearsal room and worked out the furiously thrashed and face-melting Venomous, Amaral knew she’d found the right foils.

“We made this song together before they joined the band; this was the test!” the guitarist says with a laugh. “We decided to make it the first song of the album; it’s one of the fastest and most aggressive songs [from the sessions]. It was perfect.”

Across its 13 tracks, Perpetual Chaos has Amaral mixing precision riffery with raw and bloodied, off-the-cuff leads. Time to Fight is a manically downpicked, proto-thrash anthem for society’s underdogs; Guided by Evil begins with ooze-dripping, slow-mo gloom before erupting into militaristic black metal blasts and a brief but volcanic, vibrato-heavy solo from Amaral.

“It’s a short solo, but it has a lot of feeling,” she says. “I prefer short solos; they’re better to play live. I’m the only guitarist in the band, so if I put a long solo in there, it’s a bit boring. You’re missing the rhythm guitar in the back. But working with Mia, she’s playing with a guitar pick, so we’re trying to create [basslines that feel like] a second guitar.”

While Amaral customizes guitars as a hobby, she relied on her Kramer Nite-V to get her through Perpetual Chaos. Tone-wise, the gruesome, skin-corroding rhythms Amaral grinds into on the title cut were cranked out of a custom tube head from Brazilian amp maker Pedrone, and the one-of-a-kind Nervodriver overdrive pedal co-engineered by Pedrone and Brazilian pedal maker Ed’s Mod Shop.

The song itself, which Amaral admits was fit with a Sepultura-like groove, was handcrafted to get metal crowds bouncing – at least when it becomes safe for Nervosa to tour again.

“Everyone can sing, jump and headbang while listening to this song,” Amaral says, before adding, “We’re not sure if this will happen because of COVID, but we have many festivals confirmed. We’ll see what we can do.”

Nervosa's new album, Perpetual Chaos, is out now via Napalm Records.

Spencer Proffer and Richard Marx.

Those broads can play OK (not the guitarist, anymore. She’s dead.), but any success, including the record deal, was a result of the two men above.

The singer, Janet Gardner, bailed several years back, and has been recording entirely forgettable music, masterminded by her half-her-age guitarist/producer/songwriter husband.

This is a testament to how great he really is. For someone to start producing albums from a completely different genre of music and have it go straight to the top is amazing. You can actually hear his influence on their first album together with the guitar solo on the first song.

Kerry King did the exact same thing.
