NERVOSA Issue Lyric Video For ‘Genocidal Command’ Feat. DESTRUCTION’s Schmier
March 1st, 2021

São Paulo, Brazil-based thrash metal band Nervosa have released an official lyric video for the track ‘Genocidal Command’. Featuring guest vocals from Destuction frontman Marcel “Schmier” Schirmer, the clip can be viewed below.

Nervosa issued fourth full-length studio album Perpetual Chaos on January 22nd, 2021 through Napalm Records.

A four-part documentary featuring behind-the-scenes footage of the recording of Perpetual Chaos can also be accessed below.

The outing is the first Nervosa album with the band’s new line-up, which was revealed in May 2020. Founding member and guitarist Prika Amaral has been joined by vocalist Diva Satanica (Bloodhunter), bassist Mia Wallace (ex-Triumph Of Death / ex-Abbath), and drummer Eleni Nota (Mask Of Prospero). The line-up changes followed the departure of Fernanda Lira (vocals and bass) and Luana Dametto (drums), who left Nervosa in April 2020 for “personal” reasons.

Making guest contributions on the album are Destuction mainman Marcel “Schmier” Schirmer (vocals on ‘Genocidal Command’), Flotsam And Jetsam frontman Erik A.K. (vocals on ‘Rebel Soul’), and KroW / Entombed A.D. guitarist Guilherme Miranda (solo on ‘Until The Very End’).

Perpetual Chaos was recorded in Artesonao Casa de Grabación Studio in Málaga, Spain and co-produced by Prika Amaral and Martin Furia. Mastering duties fell to Yarne Heylen at Project Zero Studio in Nijlen, Belgium.

Prika Amaral commented: “It was a wonderful experience with these girls. They are all very talented and did an excellent job. I have never been so happy with the final result of a record. I chose Artesonao studio in Málaga, because it is isolated and in an extremely beautiful place, we worked hard but we had the best vibe between us.”

Diva Satanica added: “It was undoubtedly a very intense process in every way. Not only did we learn to work together, but also to get to know each other and live together. I am very lucky to be able to be part of a project like this and I am sure that with the release of this album, Nervosa will take a very important step in its career. Working with Martin Furia was incredible, he helped me to find nuances in my voice that I didn’t know I had. Get ready, for a new era more powerful than ever!”
