After less than a year, Brazilian thrash/death metal outfit have parted ways with drummer Michaela Naydenova. A statement shared over this past weekend found Naydenova explaining her decision to exit, it reads as follows:
“At the end of the last year I decided to end my journey with @nervosathrash and the time has come to announce it publicly. The reason is to provoke myself to experiment more in the musical field. And, of course, I will still be playing drums 🥁
I was almost one year in the band, had super fun, saw and played many great places and gained a lot of experience for the short amount of time. Met a lot of people and I am thankful to every one of them for their time and energy! 🔥
Thank you @prikaamaral , @helenakotinaofficial and @helpyre for all the great memories, wish you the best of luck with Nervosa! ❤️🤘❤️
Let’s see what 2024 has to offer 😁🥁🔥”
Her former bandmates responded to her directly via social media:
“We are very thankful for everything! We wish you the best of luck. ❤️”
Gabriela Abud has since stepped behind the drum kit for Nervosa. She commented:
“It is with great pleasure that I announce my entrance into the @nervosathrash . Since I was a child, I have followed the band’s career with great admiration!
Being able to live this moment is the realization of a dream. I couldn’t be happier and more excited!!Thank you very much to my friends and family who have always supported me on my journey. I love you all very much.
To my bandmates, I can’t wait to experience this moment with you.
🔥👻🤘❤️”
