Nine Inch Nails

American industrial rock band created by Trent Reznor in 1988 in the city of Cleveland, Ohio. As the main producer, singer, songwriter, and musician, Reznor is the only permanent member of the band and bears sole responsibility for its development. The music of NIN covers a large range of genres while maintaining a characteristic sound achieved through the use of electronic instruments and sound processing tools. After recording an album, Reznor usually recruits musicians with whom he goes on a concert tour in support of the record; this concert line-up exists separately from Nine Inch Nails in the studio. On stage, NIN often use spectacular visual elements to accompany their performances, often reaching a climax in the musicians destroying their instruments.
