Singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Trent Reznor founded the American industrial rock group Nine Inch Nails, often known as NIN, in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1988. Until his frequent collaborator, English musician Atticus Ross, officially joined the band in 2016, Reznor was the only constant member. TVT Records released the band’s first album, “Pretty Hate Machine” (1989). The band joined with Interscope Records and released the EP “Broken” (1992), followed by the albums “The Downward Spiral” (1994) and “The Fragile” (1999), following a dispute with TVT on the album’s promotion.

After a break, Nine Inch Nails went on tour again and put out their fourth album, “With Teeth” (2005). After a conflict, the band left Interscope after the release of their subsequent album, “Year Zero” (2007). Before taking a second break, Nine Inch Nails continued to tour and independently released “Ghosts I–IV” (2008) and “The Slip” (2008). The EPs “Not the Actual Events” (2016) and “Add Violence” (2017) and their ninth album “Bad Witch” (2018) comprised the trilogy that followed their eighth album, “Hesitation Marks” (2013). In 2020, the band simultaneously released two further “Ghosts” albums: “Ghosts V: Together” and “Ghosts VI: Locusts”. Through their multimedia firm “With Teeth”, Nine Inch Nails announced several new projects in 2024.
