BAND NAME: Nephesh
GENRE: Symphonic/Orchestral Unblack Metal
STATUS: Unknown
LOCATION: Colombia (Bogotá, D.C., Cundinamarca)
Formed all the way back in 2003. They started out as some unspecified form of "extreme metal", and later took on a more death/black direction. They note on Myspace that they played some concerts with these old styles/genres, but I don't have any more info about these old songs.
The Myspace bio gives conflicting information from here. One part says they went on hold in 2007, and came back in 2008 with a keyboard player, thus starting the symphonic stuff they're best known for. Meanwhile, another note says they played a show in 2007 and were already playing symphonic stuff by then.
The first album's symphonics were done primarily with keyboards. The 2010 EP was performed with guest appearances from actual orchestral musicians.

3) Tormentor of Sin
3:40, lyrics:
Destruction in your mind
Obsession for refuse and kill me
Driven by the desire of your soul
You have not noticed
Welcome to Hell
You died meanwhile you refused me
You fallen your favorite place
Welcome to the pain
Welcome to the torment
I'm the tormentor of sin
I was nailed to a cross
I was killed, mock and spit
I did all this for you
I'm the tormentor of sin
I'm the eternal enemy of evil
I'm the Alpha and Omega
You preferred your lies before my truth
You become my enemy and you doesn't want to hear me
But now hear my voice, but now you never see me
Again!
4) Death I Will Be Your Death
5:15, lyrics:
The death is around me
God is far from me
I see the evil, in my heart
The death is all around me
Please rescue from this hell!
I feel the end in my soul
Rescue me!
From this hell or I die
I serve the light, remember this!
Death, I will be your death!
Where is your authority?
Jesus says:
Destroy the blasphemous gate of malediction
March on the ashes of the black empire
Destroy the infamous rites of desolation
March on the ashes of the black empire
This inner desperation is sort of malefic religious
No clammy hands can alter me
My God!
Remove the tears from my eyes
Take me in your hands
And never feel fear again
Wind be my lord
You are
Wind be my lord
You take me away
From this world before I die
5) Fortaleza eterna
3:41, lyrics:
Declararé con el harpa mi enigma
En Dios está mi fortaleza
Jamás me ha desamparado
En Él yo siempre he confiado
Salvas mi alma de la oscuridad
Reduces a polvo mis enemigos
Confusión soledad y temor
Esto rodeaba mi corazón
Mis ojos no podian ver mas alla de mi horror
Destrucción muerte y oscuridad
Rodeaban mis ojos
Los demonios no entran en mi
Mi corazon está
Cubierto de tu presencia
Pero llegaste tu a darme
Fortaleza eterna
6) Psalmorum
5:32, lyrics:
Qui habitat in protectione Altissimi
Sub umbra Omnipotentis commorabitur
Dicet Domino: "Refugium meum
Et fortitudo mea,
Deus meus, sperabo in Eum."
Quoniam ipse liberabit te de laqueo
Venantium
Et a verbo maligno
Alis suis obumbrabit tibi,
Et sub pennas eius confugies;
Scutum et lorica veritas eius
Non timebis a timore nocturno,
A sagitta volante in die,
A peste perambulante in tenebris,
Ad te autem non appropinquabit
Verumtamen oculis tuis considerabis
Et retributionem peccatorum videbis
Quoniam tu es Domine, refugium meum
Altissimium posuisti habitaculum tuum
Clamabit ad me
Et ego exaudiam eum
Cum ipso sum in tribulatione
Eripiam eum et glorificabo eum
Psalmorum!
Longitudine dierum
Replebo eum
Et ostendam illi
Salutare meum
A peste perambulante in tenebris,
Ab exterminio vastante in meridie
7) Sentence Darkness
8:59, lyrics:
Dead alive, empty, sinners, insipid
Pursuing destructive illusions and false promises
Full of greed and lust
Product of a dirty and corrupt society
Ruled by Satan and his demons
Have the control of whole nations
Take innocent lives without mercy
Transform lies in absolute truths
Proliferating misanthropia and iniquity
Showing the world their mark
Mark of condemnation and coldness
Delivering to the nations to destruction
But He looks from the Heaven
I think it is useless to hide from Him,
He saw the tears,
He has hardened His hand,
He never change,
He never rests
He's alive!
Condemnation to the blasphemous
Desolation and death
Is the payment to His words
Is the trial of His words
Sentence darkness
Open skies
Vestments of blood
Weapons thirsty for justice
Sentence darkness
Open eyes.
8) Inter Armas Silent Leges
1:56, lyrics:
Ad astra per aspera
Alea iacta est
Dulce bellum inexpertis
Inter armas silent leges
Inter armas silent leges
Inter armas silent leges
Inter armas silent leges
Bellum internecium
Deus ad ante portas
Pacem in terrim
Ad astra per aspera
Alea iacta est
Dulce bellum inexpertis
9) A Cold Breath
3:36, lyrics:
The wrath of a gun in your face
Spiteful desire for revenge
Nations at war for power
Killing children with great pleasure
Waste of wisdom
End of the road
Now pay attention to my words
The day is dark
There is no light in the heavens or the earth
The fear in the room looking for me
The pain and my cries are my allies
A cold breath live in me
I see the pain live here
My life does not end
The world does not stop
We all know that is not the end
But time has come
My Lord has returned from the sky
I can turn your bitterness into honey
I can teach you things that eye cannot see
Now pay attention to my words
The day is dark
But you should not be afraid
The fear in the room looking for me
The pain and my cries were my allies
The world does not stop
But I am not afraid.
10) Symphony of War
1:15, instrumental
11) Apocalypsis 15 (bonus track)
3:04, here are some partial lyrics:

Supposedly this EP was recorded with guest appearances from real orchestral musicians in Colombia (it's mentioned in the booklet), but I can't find names or anything.
I don't know if the European version is limited or not. Also, there may be a version with only 4 tracks. I'm not sure.
1) The Last Judgment
3:36, lyrics:
Is time for my revenge
Is the time of your expulsion
My body is weak
But my spirit don't
Domain is what I want
Is time to reclaim what is mine
Now you will die by my hand
This is my revenge
This is my spirit
This is my world
I was tied by your pleasure
Now you will die by my hand
This is my revenge
This is my spirit
This is my world
I was tied by your pleasure
Now you will die by my hand
This is the perversion of the soul and heart
This is the filth of my body
This is the evilness that comes over me
But not take it anymore
The signals in my mind and my body
Force you get out of here
Convoke dark thoughts
But they are dark to get out of here
This is the end of your existence
This is you shake kicked out of me
Vomited and massacred
Because I want this, so what?
This is my revenge
This is my spirit
This is my world
I was tied by your pleasure
Now you will die by my hand
This is my revenge
This is my spirit
This is my world
I was tied by your pleasure
Now you will die by my hand!
2) Endless Destruction
4:14, lyrics:
So why wait?
When death is at the doorstep
I see my grave, I live my place
I am bound and shackled in chains of lies
Suffocates me and I cannot die
Go to the darkness, it's not my job
Day after day, behold my God
Painful is the living loss
I contemplate my own dross
My time is over, I can't do this alone
I hate to be alive, I've been dead for so long
The life that I never lived
And will never thrived
So I look at my life in sin
Of course, without the strength to battle
Wonder world that does not exist for me
In more than two worlds, my mind wanders
My time is over, I can't do this alone
I hate to be alive, I've been dead for so long
The life that I never live
And I will never live
So I look at my life in sin
Of course without the strength to battle
Wonder world that dos not exist for me
In more than two worlds my mind wanders
I agonize in pain
But I wonder if my last moment of strain
I will have some sing of repentance
The black omen
The prophecy of this century
Good for some, curse for other
3. Reborn
2:32, instrumental
4) Lost Race
3:18, lyrics:
Smell the suffering, smell the evilness
Smell the wrath, feel the hate...
You are dead, live your lives without thinking what will come
I gave you my gift, I gave you my treasure
I gave you my spirit, I gave you everything
Humans without a guide, Lost Race
Humans without a guide, Lost Race
Kill, steal, fornicate, and is perfect for you, this is the sign!
This is the hated by this world no one can see,
There are many who don't know
This is the hated by this world
Breaks the seal now!
Smell your evil, smell your pain
Smell your sin, feel their presence...
I'm sitting at his right hand
You will see me uncensored
I do not mind your trash;
I just want your heart
Nights of pain,
Days of false love
Nights of perversion
Shattering the hate above!

1) The lineup. I'm not sure if the past or present members are correct. 2) [On Metal Archives], a four-track version of "Hated by..." with purple artwork is mentioned. Is this a valid release? 3) Rest of the lyrics for "Apocalipsis 15". 4) More info on their early music. 5) Are we sure the release dates for "Hated by This World" are correct? 6) [On Myspace], all the tracks are full-length except for "A Cold Breath" which is over 20 seconds shorter... Could this mean there was an alternate version of the song at some point?
