Brazilian Thrashers NERVOSA Announce New Line Up, FEUERSCHWANZ Release Music Video For Cover Of Ed Sheeran’s “I See Fire”, DRACONIAN Unveils First Single And Lyric Video For “Lustrous Heart” From New Album, RUMAHOY To Release Time II: Party, BEYOND THE BLACK Releases New Single and Lyric Video for “Wounded Healer”.
Brazilian thrash metal institution NERVOSA have announced their new band line-up! After a long and vigorous audition process, Prika Amaral – creator, founding member and guitarist of the band – is thrilled to announce that vocalist Diva Satanica (Bloodhunter), bassist Mia Wallace (Abbath & Triumph of Death), and drummer Eleni Nota (Mask of Prospero and Croque Madame) have all joined the force that is NERVOSA!
The choice to form a quartet instead of reinstating a trio was made to give NERVOSA a fresh approach and show another thrilling facet, but will in no way take away from the thrash/death essence they are renowned for. Fans can expect riffs with a lot of down-picking and a strong grip, fast and technical drums, a renewed and heavier bass with super aggressive thrash metal vocals.
NERVOSA guarantees that, as soon as live events can happen again, they will comply with their schedule and travel the world to bring their unique sound everywhere!
The band is also pleased to state that they have begun working on new music. Stay tuned for more info!
Prika Amaral comments: “It was an incredible experience to meet so many talented women. It was not easy to choose just one and being forced to say “no” to several really good musicians. But the question is beyond musical competence. It involves availability, professional posture, good communication, etc… I am very happy with the result and very confident. I already have a lot of new songs saved and we have already started writing. We plan to launch some new material online during self-quarantine downtime, as well. I guarantee that NERVOSA is coming with full strength.”
German medieval rock masters FEUERSCHWANZ have released the official music video for the cover of “I See Fire”, the seminal song from Peter Jackson’s cinematic adaption of J.R.R. Tolkien’s middle-earth epic, The Hobbit. The song comes off the bonus covers album Die Sieben Todsünden which will be released as part of the deluxe version of the band’s upcoming new album, Das Elfte Gebot, on June 26.
Commented the band: “When we were brainstorming which songs we’d choose fo our covers album Die Sieben Todsünden, this song was so close to our hearts, the dragon fans and middle-earth nerds that we are. The original version still makes us shiver and can’t really be topped, so we used powerful guitars, folky bagpipes and epic fiddles. It’s a song about unity while facing destruction war and death and also marks our first song in english.
The video was shot in the mystic southwest of England at the coast of Cornwall where Hauptmann, Hodi and Mieze Musch-Musch went last fall.”
Das Elfte Gebot is the successor of 2018’s extremely successful album, Methämmer, (#6 in the official German album charts) and is scheduled for a June 26 release via Napalm Records.
The sovereigns of melancholic Gothic Doom Metal and colossal lyricism, DRACONIAN, release the first single “Lustrous Heart”, off their upcoming album, Under A Godless Veil, out October 30, 2020 via Napalm Records.
“Lustrous Heart” slowly unfolds the gloomy universe in between doom and gothic – the unique trademark sound DRACONIAN has been known for since the mid-90s. Anders Jacobsson’s growls perfectly harmonize with Heike Langhans’ divine voice, while merging into hypnotizing melodies and slow, yet heavy guitars. The intense lyric video guides the viewer through the mystical ambience of the sky and leverages the radiance of their mournful instrumental driven soundscapes.
DRACONIAN on “Lustrous Heart”: ““Lustrous Heart“ is the first single of our new album Under A Godless Veil. This album is the most diverse album we’ve made so far and we’ve waited a long time to share it with the world. We hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we do. Make sure to follow us on our social media for more news.“
