Nilaihah Records is an American independent record label, currently based in Columbus, Ohio. It was originally founded in 1999 by Kristy Venrick of The Azoic, after Oneiroid Psychosis asked her to release their next album. Though she did not have a record label at the time, Oneiroid Psychosis was impressed by Kristy's success at promoting her own band. After considering the proposal, a year later, Kristy agreed and decided to begin Nilaihah Records. Since then, the label has grown considerably, signing other notable acts spanning a variety of electronic music styles, such as Unheilig, The Azoic, and Frozen Plasma, among others. The label formed a partnership with the German label Infacted, serving as the North American outlet for European bands like Ad Inferna, XP8, NamNamBulu, Conetik, Endanger, and Liquid Divine, signing them to distribution deals. The label also recently enjoyed a successful joint venture alongside Infacted with Muscle and Hate, a tribute to Nitzer Ebb featuring members of XP8 and Icon of Coil. Nilaihah Records has also released several other notable bands.
The label maintains an extensive mailorder catalog of both its own releases and the recordings of others. It also provides its music in plenty of legal digital download sites (all of which can be linked from the label's main page).
