Due to several line up changes in the rhythm section (e.g. Ventor), extensive touring became impossible, so instead the band invested their time into writing new and even better material for a new full-length. After Invasion records vanished, the band entered the studio to produce an album excerpt, the 3 tracker 'Mistress of the night', showing the band with a new stable line up and elaborated refined sound. The recording made it's way through the metal press, including having the song 'Rape' featured on Rock Hard's Unerhört CD 7. Several labels showed serious interest in the band, and after serious consideration, Ninnghizhidda signed with Displeased records. Late 2001 the band entered the studio again to record their new album 'Demigod', an album full of dark majestic tracks that please fans of their earlier work as well as fans of bands like Samael and Dimmu Borgir!
Last line up in 2003:
Patrick K (Eternal Dirge, Tsatthoggua, Musty Guts, Interstellar Genocide) - vocal, guitar
Rene Bogdanski (The Very End, Crestfallen (Ger)) - lead & acoustic guitar
Dragan L (Rectificated) - bass

Conquering what once was
Ninnghizhidda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We brood beneath the stars while ages past.
Revel in the ancient spheres, where no life dwells
Captured by the sacred songs and spells of the Witch !!!!!
The wind of the vortex, that swirls amongst the stars
Will guide our path, from the ultimate void
Unseen and loathsome we descend to strike forth
We lie in wait, till the stars stand right, to come .........
Hear the howl of the serpent, whose roaring fills the sky
Sleeping, (in) awaiting, dead, but dreaming
The legions of the horned, will rise up from their slumber
Never, scorn, to wear, the horns
Our servants do homage, celebrate the arrivel
Treasures of darkness, treasures of night
Open the gate, that I can fell your might
Conquering, what, once, was
We are tryin' to take control, we are tryin to take them all
The choir, of the damned, whispers, hunting requiems
We summon the storm, that annihilates the land
We choose, to live, our life, in Blasphemy
Darkness shall be eternal, when all shall bow (be)for(e) our throne !!!!!!
The lyrics of Ninnghizhidda's "Conquering what once was" speak of a group that simultaneously revels in and is controlled by the chaos of the universe. They are captivated by the ancient spheres and mysterious songs of a witch, and they brood beneath the stars in wait for the right moment to strike. The wind of the vortex guides their path from the void, and they are unseen and loathsome as they descend upon their prey. They are risen in blasphemy, their howls filling the sky and awakening the legions of the horned. They celebrate their arrival and open the gate to gain access to the darkness and night, where they can conquer what once was with their storm of annihilation. They choose to live their lives in blasphemy, and in doing so, place themselves on a throne that all shall bow before.
The lyrics of "Conquering what once was" by Ninnghizhidda are about asserting dominance and control over the universe through unconventional and extreme means. The group sings about being captivated by the darkness and reveling in the chaos, coming together to summon the storm that will help them achieve their aims. They express their desire to live their lives in blasphemy, a statement that in some sense means they reject traditional morality or religious principles.
