Recent rumours that lead singer/songwriter Trent Reznor was leaving his record label to pursue his own distribution online urged me to take a look back at the aggressive and bombastic Nine Inch Nails industrial rock story.

Unrestricted by genre but maintaining a distinct instrumental core. Hailing from Cleveland Ohio, NIN started as the opening act for performers like Jane’s Addicition and Guns and Roses. The 1989 CD Pretty Hate Machine immediately found a small dedicated following. 1992’s Broken resulted in recognition and fame became a reality.
Pretty hate Machine
Assaulting the audience with an overwhelming display of destructive electrical power and threatening theatrics that stimulate frenzy, a Nine Inch Nails concert violates the senses.
Dominating the sound and style virtually solo the versatile dynamic of creative direction is fuelled by the bands only true member. Contradicting the post earlier this week about studio versus live, Trent Reznor’s single handed recording sessions are precisely engineered yet still deliver a punch to match a live release.

Coming two years after Broken, the delivery of Downward Spiral continued NIN musical journey that seems to be in a constant state of flux. Adopting new technology and experimenting with audio distortions.

There is procrastinated time taken between album releases, it wasn’t until 1999 that the double CD Fragile hit the shelves. Worth the wait it garnered accolades and topped multiple charts with a string of hits.
After much anticipation With Teeth came in 2005 post Reznor’s battle with the sex and drugs part of his lifestyle choice. Most recently Year Zero arrived as a concept album of lyrics that question the mangled choices of the US leadership.

Remixes of songs from Year Zero were made available to fans online earlier this year and the new material will be available in record shops on November 20th.
