NINE INCH NAILS – Ground/Noise-Breaking Album ‘THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL’ Is 30

TRENT REZNOR and his NINE INCH NAILS released their classic LP THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL 30 years ago, on 8 March 1994. A ground/noise-breaking masterwork that cemented NIN’s greatness for eternity.

Rolling Stone wrote: “NIN achieve a new kind of loud on The Downward Spiral: accessible hard-rock moves overlaid with a scrim of electronic racket, white noise, screams, the kind of blown-speaker rattle that seems to use the limitations of crappy stereo equipment the way that Hendrix riffed on the distortion that howled from overdriven Marshall stacks. It’s a new frontier in rock & roll: music that pins playback levels far into the red.”
