Nine Inch Nails are the forerunners of the nu metal genre, having
defined industrial rock in the 1990s. From the release of the acclaimed
Pretty Hate Machine through its darker, multi-platinum sequels, they
have sold over 10 million albums worldwide. 2007's album Year Zero is
regarded as their strongest work in over a decade. Frontman, creative
force and producer Trent Reznor is Nine Inch Nails. In this book,
Reznor's life and music are examined in detail. Analyzing his tortured
writing process, on-the-road touring antics with protégé Marilyn Manson
and Courtney Love, collaborations with David Lynch and Oliver Stone and
meticulous recording techniques, Nine Inch Nails is the definitive
book on the musician who brought industrial rock from the underground to
the mainstream.
