ABOUT THE BOOK

Hailed as the most popular Industrial band of all time, Nine Inch Nails is a rather odd group, as it has only one true member: Trent Reznor. Though supported in concert by a band consisting of regular backup musicians, NIN is Reznor's brainchild, his baby, his masterpiece. It was this, along with its style, that made the band truly unique.  Along with bands such as Ministry, they defined both a genre and a musical generation.

Back in the 90s, when other industrial bands were focused on making postmodern-esque electronic noise, Reznor moved to the beat of his own drum, writing melodic and lyrical songs which, while they skirted the edge of pop music, could still be considered to very much keep with the 'industrial' genre. Indeed, one could argue that Reznor was one of the largest influences on the evolution of the Industrial genre during this period.

MEET THE AUTHOR

Nick's been writing since he was old enough to hold a pen. After graduating from the University of Calgary with a BA in English, he spent a year working at a thrift store- before realizing his life was going nowhere. He dropped the job, took up a career as a freelance writer, and hasn't looked back since. That was almost a year ago.

Since then, he's written for a number of different blogs and clients. He most enjoys writing about gaming and technology- two passions that take almost as much precedence in his life as his love for the written word.

EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK

With Teeth (2005) is Nine Inch Nails's fifth studio release, put out after Reznor's five-year hiatus from the music scene. The album originally started as a deep, interconnected exploration of self-discovery and loss, and was originally titled Bleedthrough.

Reznor eventually dropped the old title, and renamed it, since the latter half of the songs on the album didn't fit the original framework, stating that the album works as a "collection of thirteen songs which are friends with each other."

The first thing long-time NIN fans might notice about this song is how playful it seems compared to some of Reznor's earlier work, if only because of manner in which he sings the piece. There's a certain sense of confusion to the song, and much of the first half of the piece appears to be concerned with self-discovery.
