Nagyrev - Now Recording!

Nagyrev, all girl act from Salerno (Italy) was conceived as a meeting of minds between guitarist Annalisa and drummer Silvia in April 2001, the first formerly a member of other all girl band (in fact she kept busy touring in most South Italy music clubs with Rag Dolls, a pop rock cover band), the second ex-drummer of Delirio. A few weeks later bassist Daniela (Rag Dolls, Alibia, Virus 2000) and versatile vocalist Carmen (often listened as Lussuria special guest) joined the band. Heavy metal background was the common tread, and in spite of their different musical influences, ranging from Queen to Machine Head, the four girls managed to crate the right chemistry which led them to write their first songs in a short time. Unfortunately after only two live shows original bass player Daniela bailed out. The substitution resulted more difficult than ever imagined, since no bassist seemed to fulfil the bands needs. Anyway Nagyrev decided not to waste anymore time, so the girls forced themselves to hole up in their garage crafting new tracks and released Unbearable Verity demo CD in October 2003, Annalisa playing both guitars and bass. This crude debut demo proved enough to earn them very good reviews in many zines and reviews. From then on Nagyrev rise was dramatic and no doubt aided by their first true live shows and by Daniela's return, which allowed the band to make more substantial plans for the future. This ferocious blast of high-energy rock earned the band comparisons to alternative metal acts like Korn and Machine Head more than hinting to other female outfits. With only a few live shows and the presence at some renowned festivals (i-Tim Tour 2004, Nonsolorock Festival 2004, Venerelettrica 2005, RockAndRodes 2005) Nagyrev had success between the audience and the critics. Nowadays. In September 2005 Silvia leaves the band, and is shortly replaced by drummer Simone Gallo, formerly member of Kernel-0. The band is now composing new material which will be recorded next spring.
