El Nervio del Volcán (The Nerve of the Volcano) is an album released by Mexican Rock en español band Caifanes in July 1994.
With bassist Sabo Romo and keyboardist Diego Herrera out of the band since 1993, Saúl Hernández (voice), Alfonso André (drums), and Alejandro Marcóvich (guitars) were the remaining band members left to record Caifanes' fourth studio album in Los Angeles, California between the months of February and April 1994. The album included the hit single "Afuera."
This is the last album by Caifanes. A tour began shortly throughout Mexico, United States, Central America, Colombia, Chile and Argentina and ultimately ending with the band dissolving on August 18, 1995 on their final show in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Hernández would later formed a new incarnation of his previous band, Jaguares, due to legal disputes and fallout with lead guitar Alejandro Marcóvich.
Guest artists included Graham Nash, Stuart Hamm, Federico Fong,Yann Zaragoza and Cecilia Toussaint.
