Be prepared, this album is not for the weak.Struck a Nerve's Nathan comments about their new self-title debut:By making the debut album eponymous, we are aiming to make a statement of intent. Struck a Nerve are aiming to be the most aggressive and intense thrash band the UK has ever produced, and this is how we mean to move forward. No compromise.The album reflects some of our shared interests, including the presence of violence throughout history. The world we find ourselves in today feels crazy, and a lot of it is nothing new. We wanted to comment on the violence inherent in some of the populist movements of the present day, and how these are a feature throughout time. The album tells a story about the propensity for humans to engage in barbarism and abuse. We feel like we're teetered on the edge today, and we've been here countless times before.We wanted the production of the album to lean into a lot of the death metal and crossover influence we have besides straight out thrash. We added things like a hint of HM2 to the guitars to really give it and extreme edge. We're incredibly happy with the work we've produced with Sam (Turbitt) at Ritual Studios, and we can't wait to share it with everyone who loves their thrash on the more aggressive side. We really think we've made one of the best debuts of recent years!"After some excellent debut shows around the UK, Struck a Nerve are aiming for the continent and will be expecting to tour Europe extensively in 2026.For Fans of : SLAYER, MUNICIPAL WASTE, EXODUS, DRI.."
