It marked a significant sonic evolution, moving away from some of their earlier visual kei tropes towards a more mature and potent hard rock and metal style.
- NIL was released on May 15, 2015, through Welcome Music.
- The album charted at number 9 on the Oricon Weekly Albums chart.
- The album's musical direction showed a continued willingness by the GazettE to explore heavier and more complex arrangements, incorporating elements of industrial and electronic music into their signature hard rock sound.
