Nine Inch Nails, or NIN as the band is referred to be their fan base, is the musical outlet of Trent Reznor, a multi-instrumentalist and producer. Reznor mixes industrial electronic beats with conventional instruments to create a heavy sound over which he lays his usually dark lyrics about disillusionment. NIN early nineties single Head Like a Hole solidified the band's fan base and made it possible for Reznor to branch out with more ambitious albums such as 1999's double album, The Fragile. In 2007 NIN followed up 2005's With Teeth with Year Zero, a concept album about a stark future.
