[[image:Nin2007.jpg|thumbnail|Nine Inch Nails (photo: Scarlet Pagecommonly abbreviated as NIN)]]'''Nine Inch Nails''' is the studio name for [[Trent Reznor]], as well as the name of the band hired by him to perform songs while on tour. Nine Inch Nails was formed in Cleveland, Ohio , circa 1988 , and have has so far released five eleven full-length studio albums, as well as many four EPs, seventeen singles, several [[Remixes|remix albums]] collections, and some live releasesmaterial. 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 the latest full-length release, albums such as ''[[Year Zero]]'' and ''[[The Slip]]'', the lyrical focus has shifted somewhatto 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 which were 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 [[FragilityWith Teeth Fall Arena Tour|Fall]] and [[With TeethSpring Arena Tour|Spring]] Arena tours, [[Performance 2007]], [[Lights In The Sky Tour|Lights In The Sky]] and often [[NIN 2013-2014]] tours) and 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].''
