Nine Inch Nails

8 sections

  • Nine Inch Nails began as the after-hours project of a janitor in Cleveland, Ohio. In 1987, Trent Reznor worked at Right Track Studios as an assistant engineer and cleaner. The studio's owner, Bart Koster, let him record demos for free whenever the rooms stood empty. Koster said the favor cost him nothing more than a little wear on his tape heads.

    More than 20 million records sold worldwide trace back to those quiet hours. The odd part is how it happened. A project that started with one person has fought its own record labels, had a music video banned almost everywhere, and handed out entire albums for nothing. How does a private tape project become an act that plays the biggest stages in rock? And why does music this bleak and abrasive keep turning up in film, television, and even a number-one pop single? The answers start in the room where those first demos were made.

  • Before Nine Inch Nails existed, Reznor played keyboards in the Exotic Birds, a synth-pop band managed by John Malm Jr. The two became friends, and Malm informally became Reznor's manager once Reznor left to pursue his own music. Reznor could not find a band able to play his material the way he heard it. Inspired by Prince, he chose to play every instrument himself except drums, which he programmed electronically. He has played most parts on Nine Inch Nails recordings ever since.

    The first Nine Inch Nails concert took place at a venue called Graffiti in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on the 27th of October 1988. Soon afterward, the band played in support of Skinny Puppy, and Reznor hoped to release a single 12-inch record on a small European label. Several labels responded warmly to his demos, and he signed with TVT Records. Nine demos recorded live in November 1988, known together as Purest Feeling, were reworked for the first album. They sound lighter than the finished record, with more live drumming and guitar and heavier use of film samples.

    Reznor picked the name Nine Inch Nails because it abbreviated easily, not because it carried any literal meaning. Rumors offered other explanations, such as nine-inch spikes in the crucifixion or the fingernails of Freddy Krueger. The logo first appeared in the video for the debut single, "Down in It". Reznor designed it with Gary Talpas, a Cleveland native who kept creating the band's packaging until 1997. The design drew on Tibor Kalman's typography for the Talking Heads album Remain in Light. It shows the band's initials with the second N mirrored.

    Pretty Hate Machine arrived in 1989, written, arranged, and performed by Reznor. It marked his first work with producers Adrian Sherwood and Mark Ellis, who is known as Flood. Sherwood produced "Down in It" in London without ever meeting Reznor face-to-face. Sean Beavan, who mixed the early demos, went on to mix sound at the band's concerts for years. He even sang backup vocals from the mixing console. Critic Michael Azerrad described the album as industrial-strength noise over a pop framework. "Down in It" spent over two months on the Billboard club-play dance chart. The album stayed on the Billboard 200 for 113 weeks and became one of the first independently released records to reach platinum.

    The original video for "Down in It" ended by implying that Reznor's character had fallen from a building to his death, and the footage drew the attention of the FBI. In 1989, the band was asked which television shows it wanted to appear on. They jokingly named Dance Party USA, the most absurd choice they could think of, and were booked anyway. In 1990, they began touring North America as an opening act for Peter Murphy and the Jesus and Mary Chain. Reznor started smashing his equipment on stage, and interviewer Mike Gitter credited that aggression for winning over rock audiences. A world tour followed, carrying the band through the first Lollapalooza festival in 1991.

  • A poor reception while opening for Guns N' Roses in Europe sent the band home to the United States, where TVT was pressing for a follow-up album. Reznor felt the label was hindering control of his own project. He demanded that TVT end his contract, and the label ignored him. So he began recording in secret under various pseudonyms. Reznor explained that if TVT discovered the sessions, the label could seize the recordings and release them itself.

    A deal with Interscope Records finally broke the deadlock, and Reznor also founded his own imprint, Nothing Records. He later said Interscope seemed to genuinely want to know what he wanted. The price was a share of his publishing rights, which he gave up to TVT Music in exchange for that freedom.

    In 2005, Reznor sued his former friend and manager, John Malm, for fraud, breach of contract, and breach of fiduciary duty. Their relationship was formally ended in a New York courtroom, with damages awarded to Reznor of more than $3 million. That same year, TVT's catalog went up for auction because of Prudential Securities bankruptcy proceedings. Rykodisc lost the auction but licensed the rights, and it reissued the out-of-print Pretty Hate Machine CD on the 22nd of November 2005. Ryko considered a deluxe edition, but it did not want to pay Reznor for the album, so the idea was dropped.

    The band was scheduled to play the 2005 MTV Movie Awards but withdrew over a disagreement with the network. MTV objected to the unaltered image of George W. Bush that the band wanted as a backdrop for "The Hand That Feeds". Reznor wrote on the band's website: "Apparently, the image of our president is as offensive to MTV as it is to me."

    In May 2007, Reznor turned on Universal Music Group, the parent company of Interscope. He called its retail pricing of Year Zero in Australia "ABSURD" and said true fans were being ripped off. That September, he told a crowd in Australia to "steal and steal and steal some more and give it to all your friends and keep on stealing". On the 8th of October 2007, he announced that the band had met its contractual obligations to Interscope and was a free agent. Universal then declined to host an interactive fan remix site just days before launch. Reznor said the company feared being accused of sponsoring the very copyright violation it was suing other media companies over. The site went live anyway in November 2007.

  • In 1992, the band moved into 10050 Cielo Drive in Benedict Canyon, Los Angeles, a house Reznor renamed Le Pig. It was the site of the Tate murders, in which followers of Charles Manson killed Sharon Tate, the wife of director Roman Polanski, and four of her friends. Reznor rented the house for $11,000 a month starting the 4th of July 1992. Both Broken and The Downward Spiral were made there. With touring behind him, Reznor lived and recorded at Le Pig full-time, free of pressure from any label.

    Broken was an extended play and the first Nine Inch Nails release distributed by Interscope. It reached the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Reznor called it a guitar-based blast of destruction and much harder than Pretty Hate Machine. The harder sound came from the way the touring band played live at shows such as Lollapalooza. A companion remix EP, Fixed, followed in late 1992. A remix of "Last" by Butch Vig was left off the final release. An unedited copy appeared on the internet in 1993 as an 8-bit mono file named NIN_LAST.AIFF, available by FTP.

    The video for "Happiness in Slavery" was almost universally banned. It showed performance artist Bob Flanagan lying on a machine that pleased, tortured, and apparently killed him. Peter Christopherson, of the bands Coil and Throbbing Gristle, directed the "Wish" performance video. A clip for "Pinion" was partly used in the opening sequence of MTV's Alternative Nation. Reznor and Christopherson also stitched several clips into a longform film titled Broken, about a kidnapped young man forced to watch the videos while being tortured. It was never officially released and circulated among tape traders.

    The Downward Spiral entered the Billboard 200 at number two. It remains the band's biggest seller, with over four million copies in the United States and five million worldwide. Influenced by Pink Floyd and the 1970s music of David Bowie, its shifting textures and moods trace a protagonist's mental decline. "March of the Pigs" and "Closer" were singles, while "Hurt" and "Piggy" were sent to radio. In 1994, the band also contributed "Burn" to the Natural Born Killers soundtrack. It added a cover of the Joy Division song "Dead Souls" to The Crow soundtrack, which reached number 1 on the Billboard 200.

    Mark Romanek directed the video for "Closer", set in a laboratory that dealt with religion, sexuality, animal cruelty, politics, and terror. Among its images were a monkey tied to a cross and a spinning pig's head. MTV judged the original too graphic and censored it heavily, yet it still aired often. Critics generally praised the album. Rolling Stone ranked it 200th on its list of the 500 greatest albums in 2003, and Spin placed it 25th on its 2005 list of the 100 greatest albums since 1985. Reznor also produced a remix album, Further Down the Spiral, which went gold in the United States.

    The Self Destruct Tour supported the album and debuted a grungy, messy image. Members wore ragged clothes slathered in corn starch, and shows were violent and chaotic. Band members hurt themselves by attacking each other, diving into crowds, and wrecking their instruments at the end. The widest audience saw a mud-soaked set at Woodstock '94, which Pay-Per-View carried into up to 24 million homes. The Jim Rose Circus and Marilyn Manson both opened on the tour. In 1997, the Closure video collected its highlights, and Reznor produced the soundtrack to the David Lynch film Lost Highway, which included a new song, "The Perfect Drug". Around then, his studio perfectionism, struggles with addiction, and writer's block began slowing the next album.

  • Five years passed between The Downward Spiral and The Fragile, which arrived in September 1999 as a double album. Reznor described how songwriting, arranging, production, and sound design became the same thing. A song might start from a drum loop or a visual, and eventually a song would emerge. Canadian producer Bob Ezrin was consulted on the track listing, and the liner notes credit him with final continuity and flow. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with 228,000 copies sold in its first week. A week later it fell to number 16, setting a record for the biggest drop from number one, since broken. Spin hailed it as album of the year, while Pitchfork Media panned its melodramatic lyrics. Reznor paid for the North American tour out of his own pocket.

    A song on the album, retitled "Starsuckers, Inc." for its music video, sparked speculation about its target. Critic Patricia MacCormack reads it as a scathing attack on the alternative music scene, particularly Marilyn Manson, Reznor's former friend and protege. The two settled their differences. Manson appeared in the video and joined the band on stage at Madison Square Garden in 2000.

    In June 2000, Reznor suffered a heroin overdose in London, and the show planned for that night was cancelled. The incident pushed him into rehab and put the band on hold while he tried to become sober. A remix album, Things Falling Apart, came out in November 2000 to poor reviews. The Fragility tour was recorded and released in 2002 as And All That Could Have Been.

    In 2002, Johnny Cash covered "Hurt" on his album American IV: The Man Comes Around, to critical acclaim. When Reznor saw the music video, which later won a Grammy, he became a fan of the performance. He wrote that it felt like losing something, "because that song isn't mine anymore". The words, he added, had come from a bleak and isolated place, yet a music legend from a different era had reinterpreted them with the same sincerity.

    With Teeth followed in May 2005, six years after the previous album and despite a leak before release. Reznor wrote and recorded it throughout 2004, after his battle with alcoholism and substance abuse. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, the band's second album to do so. The package had no typical liner notes, only song names, co-producers, and a web address for a lyrics poster. Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone called it vintage Nine Inch Nails, while PopMatters claimed Reznor had run out of ideas. Reznor released the source files for the "The Hand That Feeds" video in GarageBand format so fans could remix it. For "Only", directed by David Fincher with mostly computer-generated imagery, he offered Pro Tools and ACID Pro files. During the autumn 2005 tour, rapper Saul Williams joined the band at the Voodoo Music Experience in hurricane-stricken New Orleans, Reznor's former home. The tour documentary Beside You in Time followed in February 2007 on DVD, HD DVD, and Blu-ray.

  • Year Zero came out on the 17th of April 2007, only two years after With Teeth. It is a concept album set in the United States in 2022, a year the government calls Year 0. After major terrorist attacks, a Christian fundamentalist theocracy seizes absolute control through bodies such as the Bureau of Morality. The government corporation Cedocore adds a drug called Parepin to the water supply, leaving drinkers apathetic and carefree. Online rebel groups such as Art is Resistance fight back. In the story, scientists send websites from the future back to 2007 as a warning. Critics were generally favorable, and Metacritic averaged the reviews at 76 percent.

    An alternate reality game grew alongside the story. Clues hidden on tour merchandise led fans to fictitious websites describing an Orwellian United States. Unreleased songs turned up on USB drives hidden at concert venues in Lisbon and Barcelona. Fan sites such as The NIN Hotline, the forum Echoing the Sound, and NinWiki became sources for new discoveries, drawing coverage from USA Today and Billboard. Reznor released multitrack audio files for remixing, and a remix album followed. He called the album the soundtrack to a movie that doesn't exist. A film proved too costly, so he took the idea toward television with producer Lawrence Bender. By 2010, a miniseries was in development with HBO and BBC Worldwide Productions, written with Daniel Knauf. At the end of 2012, Reznor said it was in a holding state.

    In February 2008, Reznor posted a website update titled "2 weeks". On the 2nd of March 2008, Ghosts I-IV appeared, a 36-track instrumental album and the first release on his label The Null Corporation. Formats ranged from a free download of the first volume to a $300 Ultra-Deluxe edition. All 2,500 copies of that package sold out in three days. The album was created improvisationally over ten weeks, with contributors including Atticus Ross, Alan Moulder, Alessandro Cortini, Adrian Belew, and Brian Viglione. It carries a Creative Commons licence.

    On the 5th of May 2008, with no advertising, Nine Inch Nails released The Slip as a free download. Reznor's message read "this one's on me". Individual downloads surpassed 1.4 million, and a limited CD edition of 250,000 followed. On the 7th of January 2009, Reznor uploaded unedited high-definition footage from three shows, over 400 GB, through BitTorrent. A fan organization called This One Is On Us used it, with its own recordings, to build a three-part film, Another Version of the Truth. Art director Rob Sheridan said treating fans with respect had produced an outpouring of work.

    In February 2009, Reznor said it was time to make Nine Inch Nails disappear for a while, then clarified that the band was done touring for the foreseeable future. The Wave Goodbye tour ended on the 10th of September 2009 at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles. That year, Reznor married Mariqueen Maandig and formed How to Destroy Angels with her and Atticus Ross. Its six-track debut EP was a free download in June 2010.

  • AllMusic's Steve Huey wrote that Nine Inch Nails was the most popular industrial group ever and brought the music to a mass audience. Reznor has never called his own work industrial, though he admits borrowing techniques from early bands such as Throbbing Gristle and Test Dept. He told Spin that "Down in It" was influenced by Skinny Puppy's song "Dig It". Other songs on Pretty Hate Machine and With Teeth have been described as synth-pop.

    In the song "Hurt", a guitar plays a highly dissonant tritone during the verses. Reznor sings with a pattern of terraced dynamics, moving from whispers to screams. He has used software to alter his voice on "Starfuckers, Inc." and "Burn". Complex time signatures appear in "The Collector" and the concert favorite "March of the Pigs". A chromatic piano motif ends "Closer" and returns in "Piggy", "Heresy", "A Warm Place", and the title track of The Downward Spiral. On The Fragile, he repeated motifs across songs on different instruments, in transposed harmony or at altered tempos.

    The lyrics explore the self through religion, greed, fame, lust, addiction, self-deception, aging, regret, and nihilism. Politics takes over only on Year Zero. Three albums count as concept albums: The Downward Spiral, The Fragile, and Year Zero. With Teeth was first meant to be a concept album about an endless dream occurring in reality, but Reznor removed the idea.

    The first concert Reznor ever saw was the Eagles in 1976. He recalled thinking, "Someday I'd love to be up on that stage." When forming the band, he was influenced most by the Clash and even tried to imitate them. After hearing "Cars" by Gary Numan, he knew he wanted to make music with synthesizers. Ministry and Skinny Puppy shaped Pretty Hate Machine, whose liner notes also thanked Public Enemy and Prince. In 1988, Reznor and Chris Vrenna saw Jane's Addiction and admired its live presentation. The band toured with David Bowie in 1995 and with Bauhaus in 2006.

    Bowie compared Reznor's influence to that of the Velvet Underground. Guns N' Roses singer Axl Rose changed his band's sound toward industrial in the mid-1990s because of Nine Inch Nails. Ezrin, who produced Pink Floyd and Alice Cooper, called Reznor a true visionary in 2007. Time named Reznor one of the year's most influential people in 1997, and Spin called him the most vital artist in music. Rolling Stone ranked the band 94th on its 2004 list of the 100 greatest artists. The Grammy Awards honored "Wish" in 1993 and "Happiness in Slavery" in 1996. Kerrang! gave the band its Icon award in 2006.

    At a Nine Inch Nails concert, extensive thematic visuals, complex special effects, and elaborate lighting are standard. Songs are often rearranged for each show, and melodies or lyrics from songs not on the setlist sometimes get folded into others. Artists who cite the band as an influence include Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Linkin Park, Slipknot, and Rammstein. Reznor says the imitators range from "generic imitations" dating from his first success to younger bands echoing his style in a "truer, less imitative way".

  • The 2010 film The Social Network gave Reznor and Atticus Ross their first major score, written with director David Fincher. It earned them a Golden Globe and an Oscar for Best Original Score. They worked with Fincher again on the American adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in December 2011 and on Gone Girl in 2014. In 2012, Reznor wrote the theme music for the game Call of Duty: Black Ops II with developer Treyarch. He also became chief creative officer of the Daisy music service, launched in January 2014, and later chief creative director at Apple Music.

    In February 2013, Reznor announced the return of Nine Inch Nails and the Twenty Thirteen Tour. Eric Avery and Adrian Belew were named to the new lineup but quit before any performances, and Robin Finck returned in their place. Hesitation Marks was released on the 3rd of September 2013. Its single "Copy of A" was free to Amazon.com account holders in the US and UK. The album added bassist Pino Palladino, Todd Rundgren, and Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac.

    Not the Actual Events came out on the 23rd of December 2016, and it also revealed that Ross had become an official member, the first besides Reznor. Add Violence followed on the 21st of July 2017, and the band performed "She's Gone Away" in Part 8 of the third season of Twin Peaks. Reznor and Ross also scored the Ken Burns series The Vietnam War. The trilogy ended with Bad Witch on the 22nd of June 2018. For that year's tour, the band sold only physical tickets, available at the venue before the show, to prevent scalping. Reznor wrote that "Everything about the process sucks and everyone loses except the reseller."

    In 2019, Reznor and Ross received songwriting and production credits on Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road", which sampled "34 Ghosts IV" from Ghosts I-IV. The song set the record for most consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. As producers, they shared a CMA Award for Musical Event of the Year. On the 26th of March 2020, the band released Ghosts V: Together and Ghosts VI: Locusts for free as a gesture of solidarity during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Nine Inch Nails was first nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014, its first year of eligibility, and again in 2015. On the 15th of January 2020, it was named to the Class of 2020. Originally only Reznor was to be inducted, but he announced that Chris Vrenna, Danny Lohner, Alessandro Cortini, Ilan Rubin, Robin Finck, and Ross would join him. Rubin became the youngest person ever inducted. Iggy Pop inducted the band on the 7th of November 2020 in a special broadcast on HBO, and Reznor accepted from his home in Beverly Hills. On the 24th of September 2022, the other inductees, plus former members Richard Patrick and Charlie Clouser, joined Reznor in Cleveland. Together they played Patrick's Filter hit "Hey Man Nice Shot".

    In April 2024, the band announced projects through a new multimedia company, With Teeth, including a TV series with Christopher Storer and a film with Mike Flanagan. That August, Reznor and Ross revealed at Disney's D23 event that the band would score Tron: Ares, the first soundtrack credited to the Nine Inch Nails name rather than to the two men alone. The lead single, "As Alive as You Need Me to Be", won a Grammy in 2026. The Peel It Back Tour began in 2025. Josh Freese rejoined after Rubin left to join the Foo Fighters, and Stu Brooks became the primary bassist after Cortini quietly left. With Boys Noize, the band performed at Coachella 2026 as Nine Inch Noize, and the album Nine Inch Noize was released on the 17th of April 2026. Reznor said there will be no more Nine Inch Noize tours anytime soon, and that he is returning to work on new Nine Inch Nails material.
