"Jailbreaker" LP by Nervosa

Comes on black vinyl in a gatefold cover.

The thrash metal institution NERVOSA returns with unstoppable power, a new lineup, and their new studio album Jailbreak, which will be released on September 29, 2023. With their predecessor Perpetual Chaos (2.8 million plays on Spotify), NERVOSA not only secured their first chart placements (#18 on the official German album charts, #6 on US Hard Music Albums, #9 on US Top New Artist Albums Charts), but also performed at some of the biggest festivals in Europe, such as Copenhell, Resurrection, Metal Days, Summer Breeze, Wacken Open Air, and many more.

Jailbreak, with its total of 13 tracks, not only stands for a raging thrash metal attack, but also heralds a new chapter in the band's history. It is the first release with founding member Prika Amaral on vocals. In addition, NERVOSA announces exciting further innovations in the lineup with the talented and experienced Helena Kotina as the second guitarist, Hel Pyre on bass, and Michaela Naydenova on drums. With Jailbreak, the four women send the message to free oneself from anything and anyone that could hinder the pursuit and implementation of one's own path and ideas. It's about being proud of oneself and trusting in one's own strengths.

The album begins with "Endless Ambition," a track that was already released in early 2023 and served as the first taste of what Jailbreak conveys. The opener immediately showcases Amaral's incredibly powerful performance and talent as a frontwoman. The furious "Suffocare," which deals with various aspects of toxic relationships, and "Ungrateful" continue the path set by the intense opening track before transitioning into the epic intro of "Seed Of Death." With its philosophical lyrics that delve into questions about the never-ending cycle of life, the song addresses a ubiquitous and relevant theme. The relentless title track "Jailbreak" attacks with a thrash metal chorus and blistering guitar solos. The relentless "When The Truth Is A Lie" represents a very special highlight, as NERVOSA welcome none other than EXODUS guitarist Gary Holt as a guest, while INFECTED RAIN/DEATH DEALER UNION singer Lena Scissorhands makes a vocal statement in "Superstition Failed." "Elements of Sin" delivers some of the most impressive guitar parts on the album and intense vocals before NERVOSA exposes their full power once again with the uncontrollable, final track "Nail The Coffin," bringing Jailbreak to a loud conclusion.

Just like on previous albums, the newly formed quartet does not hold back, engaging with our society in an honest and critical manner and underpinning these messages with raw and untamed sound. The renewed collaboration with producer Martin Furia (DESTRUCTION) adds a finishing touch to the combo's fifth album. With Jailbreak, NERVOSA presents a massive thrash metal masterpiece that positions itself at the forefront of the band's history.
