'''''Nihil''''' is the eighth [[album]] by the [[Germany|German]] [[Industrial rock]] band [[KMFDM]], released in 1995. It was recorded in [[Seattle, Washington|Seattle]], [[Washington]].
''Nihil'' is one of the only KMFDM albums that does not feature cover artwork by pop-artist [[Aidan Hughes|Brute!]]. Instead, the cover was designed by Francesca Sundsten, wife of drummer [[Bill Rieflin]].
''Nihil'' is also the [[Latin]] word for [[nothing]], from which the words "annihilate", "nil", and "[[nihilist]]" are derived.
A digitally remastered re-release of ''Nihil'' was released on [[March 6]], [[2007 in music|2007]], along with ''[[Xtort]]''.
