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!

Ninnghizhidda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Asphyxiated by the christian creed
I call to thee , ERESHKIGAL , queen of darkness
Condemned , for seeing , through their web of lies
Oh Lord grant me in my depths , the purchance to dream
Self rightous priests cling to their hipocrisy
Mother of chaos , hear my forlorn call
Accept the gift my demons bring that I might pass the gate
Confront me now , ERESHKIGAL , confront me now with thee!!
Oh Lord grant me in my depths , the purchance to dream
Slaves of sanctomonious wretch , obey the true father of lies
Follow the way that leads , into false morality
Thou art dictator , icon of filth , enslaver
Our path unveils untold pleasures
Ever the praises of the faceless DOG
Your death will be my fame
My wisdom undefiled , the flesh shall prevail
The age has dawned , and time has come
To rise against the fools of christ , with hate and despise
In fervent visions and dreams I still see
The unholy communion , against the christian race
Crucify the lambs of christ , to crush their web of lies
Oh Lord grant me in my depths , the purchance to dream
I call to the , ERESHKIGAL , queen of darkness
Goddes of desire ,hear my forlorn call
The lyrics of Ninnghizhidda's song "Deny Thy Philosophy" are filled with imagery related to darkness and chaos, as well as a rejection of Christianity and religion. The first two lines set the tone of the song, with the singer feeling trapped and suffocated under a false morality imposed by Christianity. The singer calls out to ERESHKIGAL, the queen of darkness, asking for her help in seeing through this "web of lies" that surrounds them. They want to be able to dream freely and think for themselves, but they feel constrained and condemned by the hypocrisy of self-righteous priests.
The singer urges others to reject the "false morality" that is being imposed on them by religious leaders, calling them "slaves of sanctimonious wretch" and urging them to follow a path that leads to "untold pleasures." They see themselves as rising up against the "fools of Christ" and crushing their "web of lies." In the end, they call out once more to ERESHKIGAL, the goddess of desire, asking her to hear their "forlorn call."
