Thrash metal powerhouses NERVOSA have officially announced their brand-new studio album “Slave Machine,” set for release on April 3, 2026 via Napalm Records. To mark the announcement, the band have unleashed the crushing title track “Slave Machine” as the first single, accompanied by an official music video:
Following acclaimed appearances at the world’s biggest metal festivals, including Wacken Open Air and Hellfest, NERVOSA have firmly established themselves as one of the most formidable forces in modern thrash metal. On their sixth studio album, the Brazilian band reinforces this status with blistering speed, razor-sharp precision, and relentless intensity. After “Jailbreak” (2023) introduced founding guitarist Prika Amaral as the band’s new frontwoman, NERVOSA now swing “Slave Machine” like a sledgehammer straight through the scene.
Once again produced in collaboration with Martin Furia (DESTRUCTION), “Slave Machine” boldly bridges the gap between old-school thrash power and contemporary critical edge. Across twelve ferocious new tracks, NERVOSA expand their sonic arsenal and present themselves more focused, aggressive, and versatile than ever before. The album is available for pre-order now.
The newly released title track offers a devastating first taste of what’s to come: full-throttle speed combined with a surprisingly catchy, alternative-leaning bridge that reveals a different side of the band without sacrificing intensity. The song stands as a manifesto for a new era of NERVOSA.
NERVOSA on “Slave Machine”:
“This song is everything we want to say and play, with many different vocal layers and guitar melodies – like a scream that says we are all part of the ‘Slave Machine’.”
With “Slave Machine,” NERVOSA deliver not only the next chapter of their evolution, but a powerful statement that cements their place at the forefront of modern thrash metal.
