Nevrast are a black metal quartet from Pavia, Italy, existing since 2008 but the actual formation is active only since 2014; this band released a demo in 2010 and then this EP titled Atra Mors Unctoris in 2015. Seven years for an EP are really many, so what creative process has been developed over these seven years? Judging from this EP very little; Nevrast still seem to be a very immature band.
​
Nothing happens on this EP; the first proper song, which is the second track, “Ob Irae Pestis” is exemplary: repetitive, monotonous, flat, no trace of arrangements, two or three simple riffs placed one after the other throughout the song. They also try something different such as slower and groovy tempos in “Just a Corpse”, or a melodic approach as in “Vermin”; but it is too little. The alternation between guttural growl and shrill scream does not seem to help either. The music may not be cutting-edge, but the Italian guys do not do anything to save the situation, and the bad sound production worsens everything. Furthermore, it seems that Nevrast have completely forgot to do the mixing, since the scream of singer and bassist Voragh is low and covered by the guitars, a kind of in the background. Unfortunately, bad productions and poor-quality sounds seem to be a flaw of several Italian bands.

To summarize, there is a lot to work on for Nevrast for next time!

Notes:
Atra Mors Unctoris was self-released in February 2015.

Personnel:
1. Anno Del Signore 1347 (Intro)
2. Ob Irae Pestis
3. Dead in a Thousand Sights
4. Just a Corpse
5. Vermin
