This conversation with Helena Kotina takes place during Nervosa's Australian tour. They are playing in Sydney on April 18 (tonight!), so head over if you are in town. Other dates are below.
Consider this chat a 'coffee table' introduction to Helena, one of the most exciting emerging guitarists in metal today. Topics covered include Helena's experience joining Nervosa and navigating cultural and musical differences to shape the band’s sound on the new album, Jailbreak. We also cover the influence of classic rock and heavy metal on crafting thrash metal riffs, and the impact of transitioning to a quintet on songwriting and live performances. We discuss the collaborative songwriting process for Jailbreak, lessons from performing with metal icons, and much more.
