The next album It is [[Year Zero]]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.
Several rumors have persisted about Nine Inch Nails (commonly abbreviated as NIN) was formed in Cleveland, Ohio, circa 1988, and has so far released eleven full-length studio albums, four EPs, seventeen singles, several [[Remixes|remix]] collections, and some live material. Reznor's lyrics are largely concerned with the origins exploration of the name "self, but with albums such as ''[[Year Zero]]'' and ''[[The Slip]]'', the lyrical focus 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 Nailsis 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 (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 [[With Teeth Fall Arena Tour|Fall]] and [[With Teeth Spring Arena Tour|Spring]] Arena tours, [[Performance 2007]]", one being that [[ReznorLights In The Sky Tour|Lights In The Sky]] and [[NIN 2013-2014]] chose to reference tours) and earlier shows would sometimes culminate with the story destruction of Jesusmusical instruments. : '' crucifixion with nine inch long spikes.
