In 1999 the band self-released their first album "Edens In Communion". 2001 brought the release of NahemaH's second album "Chrysalis" (Iberian Moon Records). Pulling from such influences as Dark Tranquillity or Opeth, the album proved to be very successful and was received well within the media exposure that was attained.
The critical acclaim NahemaH got from Chrysalis coupled with the 2002 most nominated band readers poll in the Spanish metal magazine Hell Awaits allowed for opportunities to open for bigger acts that were touring Spain, such as Moonspell and Alastis as well as a Mexican release of their debut album. 2007 saw the release of the bands second full length, "The Second Philosophy" (Lifeforce Records). They released a third album, "A New Constellation", in 2009.
The band split up in July 2012.

Follow Me
Nahemah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where fire doesn't burn and sun doesn't blind
Follow me, don't care if you come from de land
Where hearts lay extinct and bodies are deprived
Of their wings
Follow me, mix and liquate your being here...
Melting down your flesh with the melted stone
With the air you're breathing
Follow me, I will make you burnt and blind
I'll bring to the land where you'll find
Heartbeats as eruptions
Follow me, to an igneous place where air and body
Are one and the blood flows slow, dense
And incandescent like volcanic lava
Follow me, mix and liquate your being here...
Melting down your flesh with the melted stone
Melting your wings flapping
With the air you're breathing
The lyrics of Nahemah's "Follow Me" are enigmatic and evoke a sense of mystery and wonder. The song seems to be an invitation to follow the singer on a journey to an unknown place, where the laws of nature are different, and things are not what they seem. The first stanza sets the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer invites the listener to follow them, regardless of where they come from. The singer doesn't care if the listener is from a land where fire doesn't burn, or the sun doesn't blind, or where hearts lay extinct, and bodies are deprived of their wings. This suggests that the journey is going to be a transformative one, where the listener is going to shed their old self and emerge as something new.
In the second stanza, the singer urges the listener to mix and liquate their being, melting down their flesh with the melted stone, and melting their wings flapping with the air they're breathing. This is a metaphor for the transformation the listener is going to undergo, as they follow the singer to this new land. The singer promises to make the listener burnt and blind, taking them to a place where they'll find heartbeats as eruptions. The third stanza hints that this place is an igneous one, where air and body are one, and the blood flows slow, dense, and incandescent like volcanic lava. This suggests that this journey is going to be a deep and emotional one, where the listener will connect with the primal forces of nature and gain a new perspective on life.
Overall, "Follow Me" is a poetic and mystical song that encourages the listener to embrace change and set out on a journey of self-discovery. The lyrics are open to interpretation and can mean different things to different people, depending on their own experiences and beliefs.
