Initially, N. Imperial conceived of N.I.L. as a one-off solo project after his departure from black metal outfit Krieg. When the band consolidated into a duo, with the arrival of J. Marcheski in 2006, the project came to fruition with a self-titled release in 2007. N.I.L. does not appear in corpse paint,and their lyrics focus on solitude and nihilism."@en . . . .
