Following the release of their much-acclaimed fifth studio album, Jailbreak, thrash frontrunners Nervosa return with a brutal new single, entitled “Smashing Heads”.
This new rager features the insane guitar work, thundering vocals and furious blast beats the band is known and loved for, and is accompanied by an official music video that emphasizes the unstoppable energy of this all-woman powerhouse.
“Smashing Heads” marks the band’s first new music since they released the Jailbreak album in September 2023 via Napalm Records, which also marked a new chapter in the history of Nervosa as their first record featuring founding member Prika Amaral as permanent vocalist and guitarist. With the addition of the immensely talented Helena Kotina as lead guitarist, Gabriela Abud on drums, Hel Pyre and Emmelie Herwegh on bass, Nervosa continue to set the thrash metal world ablaze, and their new single “Smashing Heads” makes no exception.
The band comments: “This new single celebrates 15 years of Nervosa, a resume of our musical journey throughout these years. ‘Smashing Heads’ is a special release to commemorate this milestone and close one chapter before we unleash something entirely new with our next album.”
Initially announced at the end of April, the UK/European leg of the Thrash Of The Titans Tour was set to feature co-headliners Testament and Obituary, with special guests Destruction and Goatwhore.
On June 2, New Orleans-based extreme metal band Goatwhore announced their withdrawal from the trek by issuing the following statement:
“Due to unforeseen circumstances, Goatwhore will no longer be performing on the Testament, Obituary & Destruction European Tour. We regret to share this news, and hope to return to Europe and North America very soon.”
Testament commented: “Although we’re bummed that Goatwhore couldn’t end up joining us, we’re stoked to now welcome Nervosa as our new special guest on the upcoming Thrash Of The Titans European Tour with our friends in Obituary and the mighty Destruction! Tour kicks off this October. Tickets are on sale now. Don’t miss out and we’ll see you in the pit!”
Nervosa shared the following message: “We are extremely happy to announce that we will be part of this dream tour with Testament, Obituary, and Destruction. We can’t wait!”
