In year 2000, up to the release of its first album I :00 AM (SWP/M10), nihil has opened a solid breach within the rock music environment. The assumed discrepancy found in the atmosphere, the tone, the very structure of the tracks has come as a shock, by its inventiveness and maturity, and has immediately been actively celebrated by the specialized press. The fracture created by this first Unknown Musical Object has very swiftly found a most favourable echo in the audience of the numerous concerts given to present it.

Two years of work later, and after a deeper digging out of its own identity, nihil reappeared with a new release, [in]visible (Jaff/Universal). Opening the frontiers of its inspiration toward new horizons without any complexes, nihil enlarged the aspects of its dark, tortured universe and meandered through styles yet unexplored by the band. Beyond the limits of an already hybrid metal rock (such as Tool or Neurosis), [in]visible drew thus on references like A Perfect Circle, Mark Hollis or U2.

Then, the band began another cycle in 2002 with the release of Pandora's Box (Slalom/Night&Day) in which the tracks seem to be written for a film, a surprising, intimate, sensitive movie. Remote from the two previous albums, this one goes deeper into the pure expression of feelings... Pandora's Box can be considered as the first chapter of a new era for nihil which is now to reach a climax with the fourth album to come, in October 2005... but it is too early to comment...
