Brazilian thrash metal group Nervosa have announced via their Instagram account that vocalist Diva Satanica is no longer with the band. While the band did not identify her replacement, they have apparently been working with a new vocalist for the last two months, and are due to begin recording for a new album this week.
This news follows other recent lineup changes for Nervosa, as it was reported this month that Helena Kotina had joined as an additional guitarist. They also parted ways with their drummer Nanu Villalba in December 2021 (a replacement has yet to be announced).
The full statement from Nervosa:
Since September 2022 Nervosa was informed that Diva would leave the band, and since then she has carried out all activities with great professionalism and respect. The reason for her departure is because she chooses to invest more time in other projects and in her band. Since her decision, we entered into an agreement to comply with the Latin America tour and announce her departure later so that we could plan everything calmly and in time.
We understand and support her decision.
It’s not easy for either party, but life is made of choices and decisions. So don’t judge too harshly, because it’s a very painful moment for both parties.
All our respect to Diva, thank you for all her dedication and contribution. We wish you good luck on your new journey.
Nervosa has been working with a vocalist for the last 2 months, and is also working with a new drummer.
The recordings for the new album start this week, so stay tuned on our social networks because we’re going to post some spoilers.
Thanks to all the fans for their love and support.
Nervosa will never die.
