: So, you went to a studio to do the recording. Just to have some more influences before entering the studio. I heard a lot of thrash to get acquainted with the genre, like Sepultura, Slayer, Megadeth and other classics but I did not practice on them. : On what songs did you practice? Only Nervosa material or from other bands as well?Įleni Nota: Only Nervosa. I have worked a lot on extreme metal in the past months to get to the desired level. Obviously, I told her I would sit down to study and so it happened. When we talked, I told her that I had never played thrash or death in my life but she liked what she saw and she thought I could do it. So, how did she find you?Įleni Nota: I have some drum covers on YouTube and one of them is Slipknot’s “Sic”. You, on the other hand, have not had any experience before. : As for Mia and Diva, they have an extreme background. But it is difficult to find a person who sings and plays bass, so this was the most logical thing to do. : Do you know if she wanted to continue as a quartet or it just happened?Įleni Nota: I think that if she found the right member, she might have chosen to keep the band as it is. But to us who finally ended up in the band, she sent us an e-mail and asked us if we were interested. She told me that when it was announced, people approached her and as far as I know she auditioned some of them. Did anyone approach Prika before she started searching?Įleni Nota: She said she would continue and started looking right away. The two girls left and Prika knew she would continue, so she looked for other members. He did not say anything bad but it never happened.

No, maybe Mia misunderstood or mispronounced it.

Did it really happen that way?Įleni Nota: Thank you very much. Initially, in the video diaries that the band had released, Mia mentioned that the Nervosa had disbanded. : Hello Eleni and congratulations for the new album. My curiosity about what happened in the band considering the devastating new album “Perpetual Chaos” did not go unanswered and Eleni was on the other end of the internet line for the introductions. The Brazilian guitarist, after the departure of Fernanda Lira (bass/vocals) and Luana Dametto (drums) found Eleni Nota (drums) from Greece, Diva Satanica (vocals) from Spain and Mia Wallace (bass) from Italy and made an international line-up for her “child”, the thrash metal band Nervosa. What happens when you are left alone in a band? Do you give up or continue? Fortunately, Prika Amaral never considered the first choice.
