'''Nine Inch Nails''' is the studio name for of a music project by Trent Reznorand [[Atticus Ross]], as well as the name of the band hired by him them to perform songs while on tour. It is an industrial rock band, and the most recognized one since the genre was introduced. As of Before Ross' inclusion in 2016, [[Atticus Ross]] is Nine Inch Nails was solely under the second official membercreative direction of Trent Reznor.
Nine Inch Nails (commonly abbreviated as NIN) was formed in Cleveland, Ohio, circa 1988, and has so far released eight full-length studio albums, twenty singles and EPs, a number of [[Remixes|remix]] albums, and some live material. Reznor is the only official member and has always been solely responsible for the musical direction of the band. His lyrics are largely concerned with the exploration of the 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.
