Ready For Action Down Under With HELENA KOTINA From NERVOSA

Ready For Action Down Under With HELENA KOTINA From NERVOSA

Interview by Kris Peters
Brazilian thrash metal outfit Nervosa have been trailblazers for heavy metal for 15 years, playing at most of the major festivals and countries on the global touring circuit except one.
Australia.
But that blight has been rectified, with Nervosa currently in the country and playing the first of three shows in Sydney as we speak.
Setting the world ablaze with their latest blistering full-length Jailbreak, Nervosa embark on a new chapter in the band’s history as it’s their first record featuring founding member Prika Amaral as permanent vocalist. Plus, the band enacted more exciting changes on the album, with the addition of the immensely talented and well experienced Helena Kotina as second guitarist, Hel Pyre on bass and Michaela Naydenova on drums.
Kotina was nice enough to take time out to talk with HEAVY about an hour out from the first show.
"I really don't know why it took so long for Nervosa to come here," she almost apologised, "but it's really a huge pleasure. We have three shows, and also we celebrate the 15 years of Nervosa. So it's the first time in Australia, and it's a special time also to be in Australia with this anniversary tour. So it might have taken a bit long, but it's a really special occasion for us."
In the full interview, Helena told us how long they have been here preparing, ran through what we can expect, what they are expecting from us, three songs to listen in order to know the band better, her joining the band and more.
