After formation and the demo recordings of "Alighieri’s Roots" and "After The Darkness", Cirrha Niva self-released their debut album The Mirror World Dimension in 1997.

The rock opera combined horror and romance and was performed in operatic style with elaborate costumes, make-up and intricate choreography.

In 2002, Cirrha Niva received a tour subsidy from the National Pop Instite (NPI) to perform the rock opera at the international music-, art- and lifestyle festival ‘Wave-Gotik-Treffen’ in Leipzig, Germany.

After Liaison de La Morte only founder guitarist Rob Willemse and drummer Tommy White remained active in the band.

Also featured on the album were singers Robin de Groot (Chiraw) and Manda Ophuis (Nemesea), keyboardist Joost van den Broek (After Forever) and saxophonists Bouke Visser and Yuval Kramer (Amaseffer).
