It is an industrial rock band, and the most recognized one since the genre was introduced. Before Ross's inclusion in 2016, Nine Inch Nails was solely under the creative direction of Trent Reznor.

Nine Inch Nails (commonly abbreviated as NIN) was formed in Cleveland, Ohio, circa 1988, and have has so far released seven eleven full-length studio albums, four EPs, seventeen EPssingles, a number of several [[Remixes|remix albums]] collections, and some live compilationsmaterial. Reznor is the only official member and has always been solely responsible for the musical direction of the band. His 's lyrics are largely concerned with the exploration of the self, but with his most recent albums, such as ''[[Year Zero]]'' and ''[[The Slip]]'', the lyrical focus has shifted somewhat to extrospection. Earlier NIN material was created almost entirely by Reznor, but starting with ''[[The Fragile]]'', he began to allow for a more collaborative writing process involving other players. The sonic ethos of NIN frequently juxtaposes electronic sounds with organic ones, and ugliness with beauty.

After recording a new album, the assembly of a new band usually follows, along with extensive touring; the live component of Nine Inch Nails is largely considered a separate entity from NIN in the recording studio. NIN's live shows often involve visually spectacular elements such as screens and lighting rigs, which were (with more basic elements having been used on the [[Self Destruct Touring Cycle|Self Destruct]], and [[Fragility]]tours, and more sophisticated ones on the With Teeth Arena Tours ([[With Teeth Fall Arena Tour|Fall]] & and [[With Teeth Spring Arena Tour|Spring]])Arena tours, [[Performance 2007]] and , [[Lights In The Sky Tour|Lights In The Sky]] and [[NIN 2013-2014]] tours, ) and often earlier shows would sometimes culminate with the destruction of musical instruments.  : ''For more history of Nine Inch Nails, see [[Trent Reznor]].'': ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine_Inch_Nails Wikipedia entry on Nine Inch Nails].''
