Brazil has come to be known as the birth place for fine metal groups and Nervosa are the latest to be brought to my attention. This impressive Brazilian all female group are performing a catchy and intense kind of Thrash Metal. Their impactful debut Victim Of Yourself is an exciting mix of gripping metal with a classic feel just like that cover artwork. Fernarda Lira's snarling vocals are totally suited to Nrevosa's music, and like Slayer's Tom Araya Fernarda has a considerable role in this group as she also plays bass.
Victim Of Yourself is not lacking content presenting an exhilarating selection of Nervosa's material. "Twisted Values" has Fernarda's menacing vocals and vigorous baselines along with Pitchu Ferraz's pummelling drumming as they are firing on all cylinder providing the propulsion for this band's mighty sound. Allowing for the destructive work of guitarist Prika Amaral's as that hook packed riffage comes into play, an essential ingredient for such a band and along with her band mates Prika does a fantastic job throughout Victim Of Yourself.
Victim Of Yourself is one of the most solid thrash debuts I have heard there is plenty to like on this album. Nervosa doesn't need a large line-up to impress, this talented trio sure have the ability and this recording is the proof Victim Of Yourself is a great first album.
