The constant revolving door at Nervosa is turning once again, as drummer Michaela Naydenova has parted ways with the band as of the start of the new year. For those keeping score, she was only part of the Brazilian thrashy death metal outfit for less than a year.
According to a post on her Instagram account, Naydenova said she decided to step away from the band to “experiment more in the musical field.” Seems like things ended on a positive note, as the band responded respectfully to her post, wishing her good luck with everything in the future.
“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 ????????????”
With Nervosa set to head out on an European tour this coming March, the band’s already found their replacement drummer — Gabriela Abud. Just as her predecessor announced her departure on Instagram, Abud revealed her involvement with the band on the social media platform as well.
“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.
????????????❤️”
