Biography

The band was founded in São Paulo and released its Alfa e Ômega album, in 1996. Due to internal problems, the band went into hiatus, but returned in 2008 to release the album Neblim, which included the tracks "Misericórdia, Senhor" and "Ruah".

In 2009, the group won the first Louvemos ao Senhor Trophy in the Best Rock Album category. In 2010, the band released their first music video for the orchestrated version of their song "Neblim".

In 2012, Iahweh's lead singer André Leite left the band to join the Rio De Janeiro-based group Hangar.

On March 5, 2014, coinciding with the carnival on Ash Wednesday, Iahweh released a new clip with the participation of Father Fábio de Melo entitled "Deserto," which was also the name of their third CD released later in the same month.[1]
