Albums
They released the EP ZN Entoles in early 1998, and later that year was their only album O Protos Tomos. After that, Stravalexis changed his alias to Pedi Thavma and released an LP called Rima gia Hrima in 1999. The following albums Kata.R.Ipo, a duet album by Ipohthonios and Katahthonios and Harmanis' debut solo named Sisihaha were expected next but they were never completed. Having collected several songs from those sessions, they released a compilation album named Thammena Ksehasmena which contained songs from Kata.R.Ipo, a song that did not fit in Rima gia Hrima, the first track that was recorded for Megalos Iroas, Midenistis' first solo album, and some alternate editions of old songs. Midenistis LP Megalos Iroas initially delayed was eventually completed and released in 2002. Conflicts arose after that album's release and the group informally disbanded.
In 2008, they formed up again after 5 years and gave some concerts. During one of their concerts, they announced that they are working on Defteros Tomos their second album. ZN continued to work together as they recorded some songs for Taki Tsan's 2009 LP "Rima gia Hrima 2". Defteros Tomos was supposed to be released in 2010 but nothing was seen. The group seemingly discreetly disbanded again to return to their solo pursuits. In September 2014, Taki Tsan publicly called out the other members for a reunion which they all accepted and they were expected to record Defteros Tomos. They only though released an EP named Pasa Doumania/Paresthiseis in 2015 as a warm-up but internal conflicts arose again and they disbanded again for good.
The only group activity since then was an attempted live appearance for a festival which made a public invitation to the group which they initially accepted. On the day of the performance though, Taki Tsan and Ipohthonios had a fight and Ipohthonios did not appear in that live with the other four.
