Genre: thrash metal

Holy shit! I just had my ass kicked so hard I won't be able to sit down for a week! Nervosa is a Brazilian thrash metal band, whose debut album "Victim of Yourself" was released in 2014 and received much praise from critics. "Agony" is their sophomore album and, well, it kicks ass.

All tracks are fierce and aggressive, at times even bordering on pure brutality. While definitely describable as no-nonsense thrash metal, Nervosa still manage to incorporate ingredients from neighboring genres. Thus, the listener is treated to a pure speed metal attack in the form of 'CyberWar', while 'Arrogance' and 'Theory of Conspiracy' draw on death metal. There are even nods to traditional metal in the chorus of 'Wayfarer'. There is no weak track on the album, and the listener can expect to be left completely exhausted by the end of the last track 'Wayfarer'.

The three women in the band are highly skilled thrash metal musicians whose performance is tight as fuck. The production is brutally crunchy and complements the compositions very well.

Nervosa's "Agony" is a brilliant thrash metal album and should appeal to anyone who likes super aggressive thrash metal.

Going to review this myself soon, I've listened quite a few times already. I enjoyed their debut a lot but this is definitely a step above it.
