PRIKA AMARAL SE UNE À BLADES OF STEEL EM “RIDERS OF THE NIGHT”: UMA HOMENAGEM À FORÇA DA MULHER NO METAL NACIONAL

On July 25th, 2025, Brazilian metal prepares for a historic release: “Riders of the Night,” the new single by Blades of Steel, will feature a special guest appearance by Prika Amaral, guitarist and vocalist of Nervosa, one of the most respected figures in the national metal scene.

The track promises to be a true celebration of freedom, underground brotherhood, and female strength in metal. With cutting riffs, powerful choruses, and a rebellious spirit that bursts through the lyrics, Riders of the Night is born as an anthem for those who live for the road, the night, and metal with a burning heart.

Blades of Steel is led by vocalist Yara Haag, one of the most striking voices of the new generation of Brazilian heavy metal. Alongside her are Filipe Tonini (bass), Jonas Soares, and Rafael Romanelli (guitars), musicians who together form a sharp sonic machine, ready to carve their name among the greats of the scene.

Prika’s vocal participation is not just symbolic — it’s historic. In times when female representation remains a challenge in many rock and metal segments, seeing two women commanding the microphones on such an intense and genuine track is a source of pride for the entire scene. Prika, who has carried the weight of national thrash metal on her shoulders for years, once again shows why she is considered one of the pillars of Brazilian metal.

Riders of the Night arrives just months after the release of Blades of Steel’s new album, which had already impressed critics and fans alike with its sound quality and strong identity. Now, with this new single, the band reaffirms its rise with a powerful and urgent message.

With verses like “We feel alive on our horse made of steel / Running so fast with fire on the wheels,” the lyrics capture the essence of classic heavy metal while carrying the freshness of a generation that understands its artistic and cultural responsibility.

Mark your calendar: July 25th, 2025. When women take the wheel of the road and the sound, there’s no stopping the march. Blades of Steel and Prika Amaral are the true Riders of the Night — and this road is ours.
