Interview: Slave Machine – A Modern Evolution – In Conversation with Nervosa’s Prika

Carl Fisher 1 min read

Nervosa, the Brazilian modern thrash and death metal, are back with their sixth album, ‘Slave Machine’, out April 3rd, 2026, via Napalm Records.

It’s time to thrash… but with a fresh twist! Nervosa are back, settled (thanks to founding guitarist Prika Amaral establishing herself as the vocalist with 2023’s Jailbreak), and in a riotous mood. Delivering an album that expertly blends old-school thrashy ferocity with modern death-infused technicality and anthemic focus. The result is a beast of a record, featuring a manic set of tracks that go varying degrees of hard.

Read our full review of the album here.

In this interview, vocalist and guitarist Prika breaks down the new album and the direction that Nervosa have gone in. We talk about her growth as a vocalist, the excitement to play these songs live, and so much more.
