The band toured with Vader in early 2001 in the United Kingdom. Allmusic states that "Decapitated have quickly gained recognition as one of Poland's, and even Europe's, finest exponents of ultra-technical death metal.

Prika Amaral started the band in February 2010 with Fernanda Terra (the first drummer), many girls played in Nervosa till July 2011, where they wrote some songs, despite being part of bands from different styles previously, like death metal and crossover, all members see in the compositions of Nervosa a same passion: thrash metal. With strong influences coming from bands of this genre’s classic school, the girls of the band seek to rescue the best in heavy music.
In august of 2011 Fernanda Lira took on the bass and vocals of NERVOSA, and only then, finally with the full team, the band start recording and playing shows.
In March 2012, the band released their first music video for “Masked Betrayer,” which reached the incredible mark, for a new band, of 20,000 views in just one week.
Thanks to the notoriety gained through their hard work, NERVOSA in the following months, achieved a great accomplishment: the contract with the Austrian label Napalm Records.
Still in 2012, the band’s first record, a demo with 3 tracks, was released in Brazil on CD independently, under the title ‘2012’ in August, and abroad by Napalm Records on turquoise vinyl, and by Nuclear Blast in a clear version, both under the title ‘Time Of Death’, whose cover art was designed by artist Andrei Bouzikov.
Nervosa ends the year 2012 with a very positive balance with more than 50 concerts made around the country.
After a period of exchanging drummers, the one who assumed the position in February of 2013 was Pitchu Ferraz.
In 2014, the girls finished the recording of their first full lenght, titled Victim of Yourself, which had 12 tracks and whose cover was signed again by the artist Andrei Bouzikov, and the booklet was produced by the Brazilian artist Rafael Romanelli.
Two clips were released throughout the album’s promotion: ‘Death!’, which achieved record-breaking views among the band’s videos (over 1 million views), and ‘Into Moshpit’, a live video compilation that demonstrates all the energy of the girls in a live show.
The good reception of the album was essential to result in a long and intense tour that lasted for the years 2014 and 2015. To promote the album in Brazil, the band played in Brazilian 17 states, went through 7 countries in Latin America and made a successful European tour with 51 shows in 60 days, including a total of 16 countries in the continent, including performances at some of Europe’s biggest summer festivals such as Summerbreeze, Brutal Assault, Metal Days, Obscene Extreme, among others.
The ‘Victim of Yourself’ promotion tour also took the band to the United States for the first time in 2016. Starting with two presentations on the already traditional ‘70000 tons of metal’ cruise, leaving from Florida and going to Jamaica, the tour also passed through much of the West Coast of the country and also to the South, with more than 30 concerts from the state of Washington all the way to the state of Florida. In addition, other new territories were explored by Nervosa, such as Mexico, where the band toured for two weeks, and other locations such as Puerto Rico and Peru.

''1997 was the year when the being known as Non Opus Dei came into existence. As you can see, it resulted in many years of search. Search connected with both sound and ideas. The album that will be published by Witching Hour is some kind of a summary of the way we have been following all these years. So many years of working together -
Klimorh (guitar, vocals, lyrics) - the founder of the band, Gonzo (drums) - the first album with him was "The Quintessence"Budda (guitar), and Rochu (bass) - both of them joined the band soon after the recording session of "The Quintessence".
After these years of working together, we knew exactly what we wanted to achieve while we were creating such extremity as "Eternal Circle". Once we started composing the new songs, there was no place for any random action. The Eternal Circle of our drummer was set in motion and it did not stop, providing us with extremely fast and massed variety of blasts. Anyway, it is not possible to describe the extremity of this album, you just have to listen to it.''
