About this user

Nephesh born in 2003, founded by Oscar in Bogota who was interested in forming a Extreme Metal band, in turn joins Arnold band guitarist and bassist and vocalist Wolfgang. In 2004, Nephesh begins in the metal scene playing at many events in the country;In 2005 the band has the presence of guitarist Adolfo who was a longtime friend of Oscar, with this new member the band begins to take a more forceful sound, with influences taken from Death and Black Metal in 2007 the band takes a break for about a year and in 2008 has the presence of a new member Jonathan, who enriches the raw sound of the band with symphonic Atmospheres.in 2008 the band decided to record their first production, the band's music is heard by Jason Butz from American label Nokternal Hemizphear, who is interested in working with the band.A few months after Nephesh signing contract with NH Label and released to the world its first production entitled: "INTER ARMAS SILENT LEGES" internationally distributed marking a hit in the metal scene for their orchestras and musical fastest in conjunction with a strong message and full of human and social criticism. In 2010 Adolfo B. says his departure from the band for personal reasons and interests, thus giving room for a new member: Penthecka, who joined the band with Extreme melodies, Melodic and Thrash influences, again giving the band more concrete ideas for its new production that is currently in the process of writing and production.

Review from Nordic Mission (Norway): "Colombia may not be the capitol of extrem metal, but we have heard more and more bands coming from this country the last years NEPHESH has been picked up by US NH and is definelitely the greatest band we have heard from that part of the world until now!Mix Sympathy and Dimmu and add some more cool stuff The artwork is cool as well!"

Review from Teeth of The Divine: "...is a pretty decent stab at early Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth styled black metal (circa Stormblast and The Principle of Evil Made Flesh respectively). And actually, even with sweeping, orchestration, its pretty raw and even a little menacing with a more gritty tone as opposed to the over polished nature of most of their stylistic peers (Sothis, Abigail Williams, Carach Angren, etc). With structures that range from pomp laden blast beats and grizzled mid range marches, all littered with sweeping, stirring intros ("Vae Victus, "Symphony of War") and segments of cinematic grandiosity and a wide array of vocal screeches, croaks and growls (and a coupl of clean croons), Nephesh have all of the tenets of symphonic black metal down pat. The song writing is pretty decent and the moods are appropriate as the likes "Sangre Immortal", "Tormentor of Sins", "Psalmorum", the nearly 9 minute standout "Sentence Darkness" and short symphonic, choral blast of the title track all deliver quality dramatics..."

This year Nephesh will appear in late October on the Nordic Fest 2010 in Oslo - Norway and plan a big tour all winter in Europe
