Nine Inch Nails (NIN) is an American industrial rock band, founded in 1988 by Trent Reznor (see photo) in Cleveland, Ohio. As its main producer, singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist, Reznor is the only official member of Nine Inch Nails and remains solely responsible for its direction. NIN's music straddles a wide range of genres, while retaining a characteristic sound using electronic instruments and processing. After recording a new album, Reznor usually assembles a live band to perform with him. The touring band features a revolving lineup that often rearranges songs to fit a live setting. On stage, NIN often employs spectacular visual elements to accompany its performances, which frequently culminate with the band destroying their instruments.

Nine Inch Nails has produced eight major studio releases:
1989: Pretty Hate Machine
1992: Broken
1994: The Downward Spiral
1999: The Fragile
2005: With Teeth
2007: Year Zero
2008: Ghosts I–IV
2008: The Slip

In addition, the band has released four remix albums:
1992: Fixed
1995: Further Down the Spiral
2000: Things Falling Apart
2007: Year Zero Remixed
