Found in 1997, NINNGHIZHIDDA started with the recording of "The Horned Serpent", a 6 track demo, which was the basis for the 98' album "Blasphemy", released through Invasion Records/RTD and licensed to Avalon/Marquee for Japan.
Provided with great reviews worldwide, "Blasphemy" spread the bands name as an ambicious and blasting new act,combining the trademarks of metal so far with classical arrangements to a soundtrack-like listening experience. Due to several line up changes in the rythm section (e.g.Ventor on drums), touring became impossible, so the second album was prepared.
After the vanishing of Invasion Rec., the band entered the studio to produce an album excerpt, the 3 tracker "Mistress Of The Night". The recording made it's way through the metal press, incl. the song "Rape(The Virgin Mary)" being featured on Rock Hard's Unerhört CD 7, and finally NINNGHIZHIDDA signed with the dutch label DISPLEASED RECORDS.
"DEMIGOD", the second NINNGHIZHIDDA album, was released on May 23rd, 2002. Produced by Sascha Risseler, the band`s former keyboarder, the album featured 11 metal-anthems showing the bands skills and sound developed to new heights: ripping double guitars and pounding drums surrounded by orchestral elements and polyphonic vocal arrangements.
Reviews have been great e.g.:
Rock Hard Magazine "A strong album that should fill each fan of black-/darkmetal and horrorsoundtrack flair with enthusiasm." 8/10
Metal Observer "If you like well-executed, atmospheric black metal, you can't miss NINNGHIZHIDDA." 9/10
Brutalism.com "This could be their breakthrough to the masses!".
Although being described as "black metal" didnt really get the point, the album was well received by fans and media. Due to personal reasons, including line-up changes, the band had it's final concert in January 2003 and split-up in summer 2003. Displeased Records re-released "Blasphemy" in 2003, featuring the song "Tear The Crown Of Thorns", only available on the Japan release in 1998.
