Mystically inspired, Nehesh is an almost puzzlingly unique band. They draw from an eclectic range of literary, experiential and musical influences. Their sound is abrasive yet melodic, beautiful yet haunting, and instilled with obvious passion and fervor. Nehesh is a 3 piece band that includes guitar, bass, drums, vocals and several electronic devices.

They document transformation....both personal and impersonal. That is to say, the transformation of both the micro & macrocosm.
Why this name?
The serpent who tempted eve was named Nehesh (The Hebrew Nun-Heh-Shin...ðäù , although commonly spelled Nechesh.) The biblical character of the serpent is a perplexing figure. He is at once accused of being Satan by many modern-day Jews & Christians, yet was also worshipped by other religions, such as the Gnostic Ophites. This represents the perplexing path that spirituality often involves. Reasons as to why the serpent was chosen for this role vary, perhaps it is as simple as the serpent being the symbol of Kundalini. If this is the case, it would make sense that it has so often been villified. Roughly, thats what Nehesh means.
