Martin Wiese and Florian Dammasch found the project Enid in 1997 inspired by Summoning’s "Minas Morgul" album.
The same year they released their self titled demo with music solely composed by Martin.
200 copies were sold to several distribution services and the tape was enthusiastically reviewed by some fanzines.
After the release of the demo the recordings of two songs for a 7“ EP entitled "Der Tag Zur Nacht Sich Senkt...“ began.
This release finally saw the light of day in 2001 as a 10“ MLP limited to 500 copies,
including two bonus tracks and released by the German label Ketzer.
In August 1998 eight new songs were recorded for their debut album named "Nachtgedanken" ("Night Thoughts")
that was released on tape format by Elven Witchcraft.
After signing to Austrian label CCP Records the CD version of "Nachtgedanken" was available in 1999.
In August 1999 the large part of the material for their second album was already completed.
After Florian got in contact with drummer Moritz Neuner (Abigor, DornenReich, Darkwell, Graveworm, Korova, Angizia etc.) and vocalist Maria Dorn (Stardust, Agony, Vanitas) and asked them to join Enid,
the band entered the CCP Studio in April 2000 to record their second album entitled "Abschiedsreigen".
After some line up changes in 2001 Enid signed a deal for 4 albums with the  Italian label Code666 
and in 2002 the album "Seelenspiegel" was completed.
Enid’s first gig took place in Porta Westfalica during the release party of "Seelenspiegel".
Several other live performances followed with bands like Menhir, Odroerir and Anubiz.
In September 2003 their fourth album "Gradwanderer" saw the light of day followed by "Munsalvaesche" in 2011.
