Founded in 1988 in Cleveland by multi-instrumentalist and producer Trent Reznor, Nine Inch Nails (NIN) quickly became a leading force in modern industrial rock. Combining electronic textures, distorted guitars, and dark atmospheres, the project redefined the sound of alternative rock in the 1990s.

With cult albums like The Downward Spiral (1994), featuring the hit “Closer,” and Pretty Hate Machine (1989), Nine Inch Nails delves into anger, control, and decay through a uniquely immersive sound. A true perfectionist, Reznor pushes sonic boundaries and delivers live performances that are both intense and cathartic.

Also acclaimed for his film scores — alongside Atticus Ross for The Social Network and Dune — Trent Reznor has built a complete artistic vision blending technology, emotion, and raw power.
