Its first release was called "mech. Naturaleza", and was followed by an [[Extended play|EP]] entitled "away.fromanyhuman". After several line up changes the band got stable with the arrival of David and Younés, respectively bassist and vocals in the band. Nerv's first effort built strong basis with odd [[time signatures]] and complex, jazz-influenced structures. Away.fromanyhuman, soon to be released, uses thinking metal's strengths, linking the vocal structures with the music, using [[paradoxes]], [[autoreference]] and even more complex mathematical patterns. After the recording of that EP, Ivo, founder of the band with Raphael, had to leave it for professional reasons. His new band [[Breathe Your Dirt]] is a "no-guitar noisecore" trio based in [[Montpellier]], France. == Trivia == *[[OYC]] is also the composer of "The OYC Trilogy", a three-bands trilogy composed of the [[progressive metal|technical metal]] project [[Ohmsägør]] where he plays [[Bass guitar|bass]], guitars and [[oud]], oriental music experiment [[Yalb!]], and brutal death metal act [[Conundrum]]. He is also the webmaster of the website [[AlgoBlast]]. *[[Raphael Bouvier]] also plays guitar in the emo-psyche-progrock band Blow *Nerv are often cited as writing some of the most twisted compositions among French metal/hardcore bands. == Members == *[[Raphael Bouvier]] - [[guitars]] *[[David Favero]] - [[bass guitar]] *[[Younés "OYC" Chraibi]] - [[vocals]] == Discography == *''mech.
