Author Description

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. New edition - completely revised and updated in 2007.
