Nine Inch Nails

Pulling the harsh sounds of industrial rock into the mainstream, Trent Reznor and his band Nine Inch Nails became the face of industrial music in the '90s with hits "Head Like a Hole," "Closer," and "Hurt" gaining radio and television airplay as the band rose to the top of the charts with influential releases The Downward Spiral (1994) and The Fragile (1999). Nominated for over a dozen Grammys, NIN won a pair of Best Metal Performance awards in 1992 and 1996 for two tracks -- "Wish" and "Happiness in Slavery" -- from their metallic EP Broken. EXtending longevity into the 2000s, NIN evolved while maintaining chart success with 2005's With Teeth, 2007's Year Zero, and 2013's Hesitation Marks, even as the band's style shifted to incorporate more atmospheric electronic elements influenced by frontman Reznor's Oscar-winning film score composition
